Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anchor setting tools are labor-intensive and lack a universal mechanism to accommodate various anchor sizes and types, requiring separate tools for each size and type of anchor, and do not efficiently handle high-energy continuous strike actions.
Innovation Solution
A cordless anchor setting tool with a bit retention device that includes an upper and lower support member, a stationary plate, and a spring-biased clamp plate, allowing for longitudinal translation and secure retention of tool bits of different diameters and lengths, powered by a motor for efficient anchor setting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual hammer and pin-like tool are used for anchor setting, then labor intensity is high, but the tools can accommodate various anchor sizes with simple design
Solution Approach 1:
The bit retention device is designed with a universal clamping mechanism that can accommodate tool bits of various diameters and lengths through the spring-biased clamp plate that moves longitudinally. This allows a single power tool platform to set anchors of different sizes and types, replacing the need for multiple specialized manual tools while maintaining adaptability through the adjustable retention mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to translate longitudinally along the stationary plate to accommodate different bit diameters. The spring bias provides dynamic adjustment capability, enabling the retention device to adapt to various anchor sizes automatically, thus improving productivity without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate setting tools are used for each anchor size and type, then tool versatility is low, but tool design and operation are simple
Solution Approach 1:
The bit retention device incorporates a universal design with a stationary plate and spring-biased clamp plate that can retain tool bits of various diameters and lengths. This allows the power tool to accommodate different anchor sizes and types from multiple manufacturers, providing high versatility without requiring separate specialized tools for each anchor variant.
Solution Approach 2:
The retention mechanism allows for parameter changes in the clamping force and clamp position through the spring bias system. The spring can be adjusted or replaced to accommodate different bit sizes, enabling the same basic mechanism to handle a wide range of anchor specifications while maintaining simple operation through automatic spring-loaded engagement.
3Reliability
If spring-biased clamp plate mechanism is used for bit retention, then bit security is high, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The spring-biased clamp plate mechanism is designed to be self-adjusting and self-retaining. The spring automatically applies clamping force to secure the tool bit in place, and the longitudinal movement capability allows the system to self-adjust to different bit diameters without manual intervention. This self-service mechanism ensures reliable bit retention while minimizing the need for complex control systems or multiple adjustment components.

Implementation Method 1
The clamp plate sleeves are surrounded by corresponding clamp plate springs that resiliently bias the clamp plate toward the stationary plate
Implementation Method 2
a motor powered by a power source, such as, for example, a battery, and a transmission mechanism arranged in the transmission portion and driven by the motor
Implementation Method 3
a transmission mechanism arranged in the transmission portion and driven by the motor for converting rotary motion of the motor to linear motion of driving striking rod
Implementation Method 4
The striking rod can be moveable in a reciprocating manner from an impact received from the transmission mechanism to strike the tool bit

AI summary
A bit retention device has an upper support member having an inner surface and an outer surface. A lower support member fixed to the upper support member. A stationary plate is mounted to the inner surface of the upper support member. A clamp plate opposes the stationary plate and is spring biased toward the stationary plate and slidably moveable between the upper support member and the lower support member.
