Solution Overview

Problem

Automated guided vehicles struggle to prevent adhesive from peeling off winding cores with adhesive surfaces when supplying them to sheet winding devices, leading to potential damage and operational issues.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a winding core holder with a lifter and a roller that includes a high-release surface, allowing the winding core to be securely placed and moved in the axial direction, preventing adhesive peeling by ensuring a higher release property than the holder's surface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the holder main body directly contacts the adhesive surface of the winding core, then the winding core can be securely held, but the adhesive may stick to the holder and peel off the winding core

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholding reliabilityVSAvoidadhesive peeling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A roller is introduced as an intermediary component between the holder main body and the winding core. The roller contacts the adhesive surface of the winding core during placement and movement, while the holder main body contacts the non-adhesive end face or flange of the winding core. This intermediary arrangement prevents direct contact between the holder main body and the adhesive surface, eliminating the harmful effect of adhesive peeling while maintaining secure holding through the roller's controlled contact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the holder main body directly contacts the adhesive surface, then positioning is simplified, but adhesive contamination and peeling occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement simplicityVSAvoidadhesive contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The roller serves as a mediator that simplifies the placement operation by enabling the winding core to be rolled onto the holder main body. The roller is movably mounted on the holder main body, allowing it to rotate and facilitate the rolling motion. This maintains ease of operation while preventing adhesive contamination of the holder main body, as the roller can be easily replaced or cleaned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The contact parameters between the holder and winding core are changed: instead of the holder main body contacting the adhesive lateral surface, the system uses the roller to contact the lateral surface while the holder main body contacts the non-adhesive end face or flange. This parameter change in contact location and contact method preserves operational simplicity while eliminating adhesive contamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-generated harmful factors

If a roller is added to mediate contact, then adhesive peeling is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive peeling preventionVSAvoidholder structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The roller is designed as a simple cylindrical component that is movably mounted on the holder main body. The movability allows the roller to be easily positioned and removed, reducing the overall structural complexity. The roller's simple geometry and movable mounting provide adhesive peeling prevention without requiring complex mechanisms or additional components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Device complexity

If the roller is fixed relative to the holder main body, then structure is simplified, but the winding core cannot be properly placed and moved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveroller mounting simplicityVSAvoidwinding core placement and movement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The roller is designed with movability relative to the holder main body, allowing it to rotate and move along the axial direction. This dynamic capability enables the winding core to be properly placed by rolling it onto the holder and moved along the axial direction by rotating the roller. The movability is achieved through simple mounting structures that allow rotation and axial movement without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
