Adjustable Fastening Assembly for Misaligned Hole Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fastening assemblies fail to effectively connect parts with holes that have machining errors, resulting in misalignment and inability to achieve preset positions.
Innovation Solution
A fastening assembly comprising a housing, positioning body, adjustment member, and motion converter, where the adjustment member's rotation drives the positioning body to move relative to the housing, utilizing threaded structures and inclined surfaces to compensate for positional deviations, allowing for precise alignment and connection of parts despite initial misalignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional fastening assemblies are used to connect parts with holes, then the connection is simple and direct, but machining errors cause the holes to deviate from preset positions, resulting in misalignment and inability to achieve preset positions
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening assembly incorporates adjustable components that can dynamically adapt to positional deviations. The connection mechanism allows for movement and adjustment during assembly, enabling the system to compensate for machining errors and achieve proper alignment between parts despite initial position deviations.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening assembly enables parameter changes in the connection geometry to accommodate varying hole positions. By allowing adjustment in position and orientation parameters, the system can adapt to machining tolerances and ensure correct alignment even when holes deviate from their preset positions.
2Measurement precision
If the fastening assembly allows adjustment for positional deviations, then alignment precision is improved, but the structure becomes more complex with additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening assembly is divided into modular functional components, each responsible for a specific aspect of alignment and connection. This segmentation allows the complex alignment function to be achieved through coordinated simple modules, making the overall system more manageable and easier to assemble despite the enhanced functionality.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a fastening assembly having a housing, a positioning body, an adjustment member, and a motion converter. The housing defines a housing cavity. The positioning body is accommodated inside the housing cavity and is movable relative to the housing in a first direction. The adjustment member is rotatable around an axis of the adjustment member relative to the housing. The motion converter is configured such that the rotation of the adjustment member around the axis of the adjustment member drives the positioning body to move relative to the housing in the first direction. The fastening assembly of the present disclosure can connect a first part to a second part with a first part hole and a second part hole positioned with deviations from preset positions, and enable the connected first and second parts to be in the preset positions.
