Adjustable Hook Device Integrating Plate Bodies for Restraint
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing restraining structures are complex, heavy, and costly due to their multiple components and require complex operation, making them inconvenient to use.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable device with a hook structure composed of two integrally formed plate bodies and a connecting portion, featuring a hook structure with a receiving slot and engaging portion, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and a rope member for engagement and disengagement, which is cost-effective and reusable.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a restraining structure with multiple components (inner restraining bases, outer restraining bases, rolling wheels, binding rope) is used, then the restraining function is achieved, but the structure becomes complex and heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate components (restraining bases and rolling wheels) into a single integrated plate body structure. The plate body is formed with receiving slots and hook structures that combine the functions of multiple components, eliminating the need for separate inner/outer restraining bases and rolling wheels, thus simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the restraining function
Solution Approach 2:
The plate body structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides the restraining base, incorporates rolling wheels for movement, includes receiving slots for the binding rope, and features hook structures for engagement. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate components and reduces structural complexity
2Reliability
If a restraining structure with many members is used, then the restraining function is achieved, but the weight increases and maintenance cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate members into a single plate body structure, reducing the total weight by eliminating redundant components. The integrated design includes all necessary functions (restraining base, rolling wheels, receiving slots, hook structures) within one structure, significantly reducing the overall weight compared to assemblies of separate parts
3Reliability
If a restraining structure with complex structure is used, then the restraining function is achieved, but the operation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and simplifies the operation mechanism by using a single binding rope that passes through receiving slots and engages with hook structures. This eliminates the complex coordination required for multiple separate components, allowing users to operate the restraining structure with simple pulling and releasing actions on the binding rope
4Reliability
If a restraining structure with multiple components is used, then the restraining function is achieved, but the manufacturing and maintenance cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple components into a single plate body that can be manufactured as one integrated piece, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The plate body includes receiving slots and hook structures that are formed directly during manufacturing, eliminating the need to assemble multiple separate parts, thereby reducing both manufacturing and maintenance costs
