HAIRPIN COIL FLATTENING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240091834 titled 'HAIRPIN COIL FLATTENING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for processing rectangular material from a coil, including unwinding, flattening, shaping, reading, and controlling devices.

  • Unwinding unit to unwind rectangular material from a coil
  • Flattening device to flatten the material
  • Shaping device to transform the material into a hairpin configuration
  • Reader to scan an identification code on the bobbin for batch information
  • Controller to store reference graph of pressing amount for each batch and calculate pressing amount based on physical properties
  • Selectively control pressing amount of flattening rollers based on calculated amount

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in manufacturing processes that require precise control over the shaping and flattening of materials, such as in the production of metal components for various industries.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of inconsistent pressing amounts in material processing, ensuring uniform quality and accuracy in the final product.

Benefits

The system provides efficient and accurate processing of rectangular materials, reducing waste and improving overall production quality.

Potential Commercial Applications

The system could be utilized in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction for the manufacturing of components that require precise shaping and flattening processes.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar systems for processing materials from coils, but the specific combination of devices and control mechanisms described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle variations in material thickness?

The patent application does not specify how the system adjusts for changes in material thickness during processing.

What is the expected maintenance schedule for the system?

Information on the maintenance requirements and schedule for the system is not provided in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for processing a rectangular material from a coil is provided. the system may include an unwinding unit configured to unwind a rectangular material from a coil wound on a bobbin, a flattening device configured to flatten the unwound rectangular material, a shaping device configured to transform the flattened rectangular material into a shaped hairpin configuration; a reader configured to recognize, based on scanning an identification code of the bobbin mounted on the unwinding unit, batch information, and a controller configured to store, based on the batch information, a reference graph of a pressing amount for each batch of the bobbin set through a test; calculate, based on the stored reference graph and a change in physical properties of a rectangular material, a pressing amount for a rectangular material; and selectively control, based on the calculated pressing amount, a pressing amount of an individual flattening roller of flattening rollers.
