Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly and disassembly of two plate structures using screws or plugs are inefficient, requiring significant operation time and labor, necessitating a solution to improve the efficiency of this process.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device with a limiting structure and a movement portion, featuring adjustable hooks that allow for easy adjustment of the distance between the hooks, enabling efficient fixing and separation of the plate structures without the need for multiple screws or plugs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws or plugs are used to mount two plate structures together, then the connection is reliable, but the assembly and disassembly process requires significant operation time and labor
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device is divided into multiple independent components: a limiting structure with hooks and a movement portion with corresponding hooks. This segmentation allows the device to be assembled and disassembled as a single unit rather than requiring multiple individual fasteners, significantly reducing operation time while maintaining connection reliability through the coordinated action of multiple hook pairs
Solution Approach 2:
The movement portion is designed to move relative to the limiting structure, enabling dynamic adjustment of the distance between hook pairs. This dynamic capability allows the device to adapt to different plate structure configurations and facilitates quick assembly and disassembly operations while maintaining secure connections through the interlocking hooks
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple screws or plugs are used to ensure stable connection, then the connection stability is improved, but the device complexity and number of components increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple hook pairs are integrated into a single unified fixing device structure, where the limiting structure and movement portion work together as one component system. This merging eliminates the need for multiple separate screws or plugs, reducing device complexity while maintaining connection stability through the coordinated engagement of multiple hook pairs
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device is designed with universal applicability through its adjustable hook mechanism that can accommodate different plate structure configurations. The movement portion's ability to adjust the distance between hooks provides multi-functionality, allowing a single device to replace multiple specialized fasteners for different connection scenarios

AI summary
The fixing device includes a limiting structure and a movement portion. The limiting structure is extended along a first direction and has an accommodation space and at least one pair of hooks disposed at a terminal end of the limiting structure. The extending directions of the at least one pair of hooks are opposite to each other and parallel to a second direction. The movement portion moves relative to the limiting structure. When a bottom of the movement portion is disposed above the at least one pair of hooks, the at least one pair of hooks has a first distance therebetween in the second direction. When the bottom of the movement portion overlaps the at least one pair of hooks in the second direction, the at least one pair of hooks has a second distance greater than the first distance therebetween in the second direction.
