Integrated Measuring Device for Wood Picking-Up Member Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing machines for processing oblong workpieces, such as wood, ceramic, and metal, require separate devices to detect the displacement of upper and lower plates, leading to complexity and inefficiency in measuring and controlling the correct positioning of the picking-up member.
Innovation Solution
A machine with a compact measuring system integrated with the picking-up member, capable of measuring the relative distance between the upper and lower plates, and a logic control unit that compares measured values with predetermined settings to adjust the plates' position and issue warnings for accurate workpiece handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If separate devices are used to detect the displacement of upper and lower plates, then measurement coverage is complete, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the measurement functions for both the upper plate and lower plate into a single integrated measuring device. This device simultaneously detects the displacement of both plates, eliminating the need for separate measurement devices and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining complete measurement coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The single measuring device is designed with multi-functional capability to detect the displacement of both the upper plate and lower plate. This universal device performs multiple measurement tasks that would otherwise require separate specialized devices, thereby simplifying the measuring system architecture.
2Device complexity
If a single device detects only the displacement of the upper part with respect to the lower part, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The measuring device incorporates dynamic measurement capability that can detect both absolute displacements of the upper and lower plates independently, as well as their relative displacement. This dynamic functionality allows the single device to provide comprehensive measurement data without requiring multiple static measurement systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The single measuring device acts as an intermediary that simultaneously references both the upper plate and lower plate to a common measurement frame. This mediator approach enables the device to extract both absolute and relative displacement information from a single measurement system, maintaining measurement precision while reducing complexity.
