Anchor Bar Joining via Nested Fastening Body
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for producing anchor rails often result in connections between anchor bodies and rail bodies that are not reliably tensile and pressure-resistant, requiring complex processes and higher material strengths, while also being less economical and precise.
Innovation Solution
A manufacturing method involving a fastening body inside the rail body, where the anchor body is inserted and simultaneously bonded to both the fastening body and the rail body using deep laser beam welding, creating a common weld seam that enhances tensile and pressure resistance with smaller anchor cross-sectional areas and lower material strength requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If anchor bodies are welded to the outside of the rail body using conventional methods, then the connection can be achieved, but the connection is not reliably tensile and pressure-resistant and requires higher material strengths
Solution Approach 1:
The anchor body is inserted through the rail body and nested within a fastening body that is arranged in the interior of the rail body. The fastening body receives the anchor body and provides internal support, creating a nested structure where the anchor body passes through the rail body and is secured by the fastening body from the interior side. This nesting arrangement allows the connection to resist both tensile and pressure forces effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The joining process simultaneously joins the anchor body with both the rail body and the fastening body in a material-bonded manner. Instead of separate welding operations, the invention combines multiple joining actions into a single process that creates integrated material bonds between all three components (anchor body, rail body, and fastening body), resulting in a unified and reliable connection.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional welding methods are used to join anchor bodies to rail bodies, then the process can be completed, but complex processes and higher material strengths are required
Solution Approach 1:
The joining process simultaneously joins the anchor body with both the rail body and the fastening body in a material-bonded manner. Instead of separate welding operations, the invention combines multiple joining actions into a single process that creates integrated material bonds between all three components (anchor body, rail body, and fastening body), resulting in a unified and reliable connection.
3Reliability
If anchor bodies are inserted through rail bodies and secured by deformation or external fastening, then the connection can be achieved, but the connection lacks reliable tensile and pressure resistance
Solution Approach 1:
The anchor body is inserted through the rail body and nested within a fastening body that is arranged in the interior of the rail body. The fastening body receives the anchor body and provides internal support, creating a nested structure where the anchor body passes through the rail body and is secured by the fastening body from the interior side. This nesting arrangement allows the connection to resist both tensile and pressure forces effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The joining process simultaneously joins the anchor body with both the rail body and the fastening body in a material-bonded manner. Instead of separate welding operations, the invention combines multiple joining actions into a single process that creates integrated material bonds between all three components (anchor body, rail body, and fastening body), resulting in a unified and reliable connection.
