Adjustable Anchoring System for Climbing Head Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anchoring systems for climbing scaffolds face challenges in correctly aligning with concrete slabs due to misalignment between vertical sections and concrete slabs, leading to positioning errors that are difficult to correct.
Innovation Solution
An anchoring system with adjustable means, including a support with parallel plates and a dovetail attachment mechanism, allows for precise adjustment of the climbing head's position relative to the concrete slab, preventing vertical detachment and ensuring accurate alignment through a combination of teeth and housings with varying widths and a screw fixation system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a fixed anchoring system is used, then the structure is simple, but positioning errors cannot be corrected due to misalignment between vertical sections and concrete slabs
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring system transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The support can slide along the arm in a linear direction, and the arm can rotate relative to the support, allowing the climbing head position to be adjusted to correct positioning errors caused by misalignment between vertical sections and concrete slabs.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring system is divided into separate functional components: a support fixed to the concrete slab, an arm slidable along the support, and a climbing head fixed to the end of the arm. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each component to achieve precise positioning while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Manufacturing precision
If regulation means are added to adjust climbing head position, then positioning accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The regulation mechanism uses dynamic movement capabilities: the arm slides linearly along the support and can rotate relative to it. This provides continuous adjustment range without requiring complex discrete regulation mechanisms, achieving positioning accuracy while keeping the structure relatively simple.
3Reliability
If the teeth have uniform width throughout, then the structure is simple, but the element can be vertically detached and lost during handling
Solution Approach 1:
The teeth geometry transitions from a uniform symmetric structure to an asymmetric structure with varying widths. The teeth have a first area with a first width and a second area closer to the element with a second width smaller than the first width. This asymmetric design creates a mechanical interference that prevents vertical detachment of the element during handling while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

AI summary
The invention relates to an anchoring system for anchoring a climbing head (10) to a concrete slab (2) comprising a support (20) and adjustment means (30) for adjusting the positioning of the support (20) with respect to anchoring means (6) of the support (20), comprising a first element (31) fixed to the support (20), a second element (35) fixed to the anchoring means (6), both the first element (31) and second element (35) being coupled to one another through a plurality of respective teeth (32, 36) forming a laterally detachable attachment which allows varying the relative longitudinal position of the first element (31) with respect to the second element (35) through the engagement of the corresponding teeth (32, 36) regulating the positioning of the support (20) with respect to the anchoring means (6). The invention also relates to an adjustment method for adjusting the positioning of the anchoring system of the climbing head (10) with respect to the slab (2).
