Adjustable Spring Support Structure for Vehicle Fine-Tuning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing support devices for damper springs in off-road vehicles require frequent welding and adjustment, leading to damage to the axle tube during customization, and do not allow for convenient fine-tuning of the vehicle without causing harm.
Innovation Solution
A support device for springs that includes a first support unit fixed to the vehicle body, a second support unit for the damper spring, and a connection unit with adjustable structures, allowing the second support unit to be fixed to different positions and angles relative to the first support unit, enabling the orientation angle of the damper spring to be adjusted without damaging the vehicle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the support device uses fixed welding for damper spring installation, then the structural strength is improved, but the vehicle cannot be fine-tuned and the axle tube is damaged during customization
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is divided into multiple adjustable support units (first support unit, second support unit, third support unit) that can be independently positioned and angled. Each support unit can be separately adjusted along the axle tube without requiring welding, enabling fine-tuning while maintaining structural integrity through the segmented modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device transitions from a fixed welded structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The support units can be moved to different positions and orientations along the axle tube, allowing the installation angle of the damper spring to be adjusted. This dynamic capability enables fine-tuning of the vehicle while avoiding damage to the axle tube.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support device allows angle adjustment for fine-tuning, then the adaptability is improved, but the structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is segmented into multiple support units that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows each unit to be positioned and angled separately to achieve the desired configuration while maintaining overall structural stability through the coordinated arrangement of the segmented components along the axle tube.
Solution Approach 2:
The support units are designed with pre-configured adjustment mechanisms that allow for preliminary positioning and angling before final assembly. This preliminary action enables the structure to be optimized for both adjustability and stability from the outset, rather than requiring post-installation modifications that could compromise structural integrity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the second support unit is fixed to multiple positions on the first support unit, then the orientation adjustment is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is divided into discrete support units that can be independently positioned. The second support unit can be fixed to different positions on the first support unit through simple connection mechanisms, allowing orientation adjustment without requiring complex adjustment systems. Each segmented unit maintains relative simplicity while collectively providing the needed adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support units are designed with universal connection features that allow the second support unit to be attached to multiple positions on the first support unit using the same connection mechanism. This multi-functionality enables orientation adjustment without increasing device complexity, as the same structural elements serve multiple positioning functions.

AI summary
The present document provides a support device for spring and a vehicle having the same. The support device for spring includes a first support unit configured for being fixed to a vehicle body; a second support unit configured for supporting a damper spring; and a connection unit configured for detachably fixing the second support unit to different circumferential positions of the first support unit. If the second support unit is fixed to different circumferential positions of the first support unit, a spring support surface of the second support unit faces different directions.
