Solution Overview

Problem

Existing arc protection garments with detachable metal or ceramic protective plates are inconvenient to remove quickly in emergencies, potentially increasing the risk of secondary injury due to the need to turn over an injured user to disconnect the connection straps.

Innovation Solution

The arc protection garment features a detachable fixed component with a fixed frame, limit frame, elastic members, and sliding racks that allow for quick removal of protective plates without turning over the user, facilitated by a sliding connection system and elastic members that separate the protective plate from the garment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If connection straps are used to attach the protective plate, then the protective plate can be securely fixed, but the protective plate cannot be quickly removed in emergencies without turning over the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixation of protective plateVSAvoidquick removal of protective plate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is divided into separate components: connection straps with connectors on one end and connection hooks on the other. This segmentation allows the protective plate to be quickly detached by simply pulling the straps off the hooks, eliminating the need to turn over the user while maintaining secure fixation during normal use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection system transitions from a static fixed state during normal use to a dynamic detachable state in emergencies. The connection hooks are designed to be easily disengaged from the connectors by pulling, enabling quick removal of the protective plate without complex operations or turning over the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the protective plate is detachable with connection straps, then the protective plate can be removed, but the operation becomes complex requiring the user to be turned over

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetachability of protective plateVSAvoidcomplexity of removal operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is segmented into simple, separate components (straps with connectors and hooks) that can be easily detached. This segmentation simplifies the removal operation to a single pulling motion, eliminating the need to turn over the user while maintaining the detachable feature.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection hooks are extracted from the protective plate and placed on the garment body, allowing the protective plate to be easily removed by simply pulling the straps off the hooks. This extraction simplifies the removal operation and eliminates the need for complex maneuvers or turning over the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Stability of the object's composition

If connection straps are used to attach the protective plate, then the protective plate remains fixed during normal use, but emergency removal requires turning over the injured person

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixed state of protective plateVSAvoidemergency removal without turning over
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system provides a dynamic solution that maintains stability during normal use while enabling easy removal in emergencies. The connection hooks remain engaged with connectors during normal use, providing stable fixation, but can be quickly disengaged by pulling the straps off the hooks without turning over the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The connection hooks serve as intermediaries between the protective plate and the garment body. During normal use, the hooks engage with connectors to provide stable fixation. In emergencies, the hooks can be quickly disengaged from the connectors by pulling, enabling easy removal without turning over the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
