Solution Overview

Problem

Existing winding apparatuses fail to prevent the rotation of the wire position support member when it revolves orbitally around a core, leading to potential damage to the wire coating.

Innovation Solution

A winding apparatus is designed with a first rotation body, a wire position support member, a second rotation body, a shaft body, a synchronous rotation component, and bearings to unrotatably fix the wire position support member, preventing its rotation through synchronous rotation and frictional forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the wire position support member is fixed to the first rotation body, then the wire position support member can be stably positioned during orbital revolution, but the wire position support member rotates with the first rotation body causing wire coating damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning stabilityVSAvoidwire coating damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The wire position support member is separated from the first rotation body through the first inner bearing, allowing independent rotation. This segmentation enables the support member to maintain stable positioning during orbital revolution while preventing it from rotating with the first rotation body, thus avoiding wire coating damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first inner bearing acts as an intermediary between the wire position support member and the first rotation body. It allows the support member to be journaled with respect to the rotation body, enabling stable positioning during orbital revolution while preventing rotation that would damage the wire coating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the wire position support member is journaled in the first inner bearing, then rotation is prevented during orbital revolution, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation preventionVSAvoidbearing structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first inner bearing enables the wire position support member to self-adjust its position during orbital revolution. The bearing's internal structure allows the support member to be journaled with respect to the first rotation body, automatically preventing rotation while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Stability of the object's composition

If synchronous rotation of first and second rotation bodies is implemented, then the wire position support member maintains stable attitude during orbital revolution, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattitude stabilityVSAvoidsynchronous rotation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The synchronous rotation mechanism replaces complex mechanical coupling with a simpler system where the first and second rotation bodies rotate independently but synchronously. The wire position support member is journaled in the first inner bearing, allowing it to maintain stable attitude during orbital revolution without requiring direct mechanical coupling between the rotation bodies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A winding apparatus includes a first rotation body, and a wire position support, inserted in an insertion hole outside a center axis of the first rotation body, and including first and second wire route holes in which first and second wires are inserted, respectively. The winding apparatus further includes a second rotation body having a center axis and separated from the first rotation body, a shaft body outside the center axis, a synchronous rotation component coupling the wire position support and the shaft body while unrotatably fixed to the wire position support, a winding driver that synchronously rotates the first and second rotation bodies, and inner bearings disposed between the wire position support in the insertion hole and the first rotation body, in which the wire position support is journaled with respect to the first rotation body. Thus, the wire position support revolves orbitally about a core without rotating.
