Brake Cylinder Mounting Structure for Tight Engine Room Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for installing brake parts in vehicles are inefficient, requiring excessive human resources and space in small engine rooms due to the need for long stud bolts to support the weight of brake components.
Innovation Solution
A brake apparatus with a mounting part that allows the cylinder body to be securely mounted to a fixing part, such as a partition, using a hook structure or adjustable stopping portions, reducing the length of stud bolts needed and optimizing space in the engine room.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If long stud bolts are used to support the weight of brake parts, then the brake parts can be securely mounted, but the space in the small engine room is excessively occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into multiple components: a mounting part with stopping portions, a fixing part with screw fastening holes, and short stud bolts. This segmentation allows the mounting function to be distributed across several elements rather than relying on a single long stud bolt, thereby reducing space occupation while maintaining mounting strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting part acts as an intermediary component between the brake part and the fixing part. It provides stopping portions that engage with the fixing part to support the weight, while also providing positioning holes for the short stud bolts. This intermediary structure eliminates the need for excessively long stud bolts.
2Manufacturing precision
If two or more operators are used to set positions and fasten screws, then the installation can be done accurately, but human resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part is designed with pre-formed stopping portions and positioning holes that guide the installation process. The stopping portions are formed in advance to provide precise positioning, and the positioning holes are pre-drilled to align with the fixing part. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for multiple operators to manually adjust and align components during installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting part structure itself provides the positioning and alignment functions through its stopping portions and positioning holes. The component is self-aligning when installed, as the stopping portions naturally engage with the fixing part and the positioning holes guide the stud bolt insertion. This self-service capability eliminates the need for multiple operators to ensure proper alignment.
3Ease of manufacture
If one operator repeatedly moves between engine room and cabin room, then the installation can be completed, but the work is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The brake assembly is segmented into a mounting part that can be pre-assembled with the cylinder body, and a fixing part that remains in the engine room. This segmentation allows one operator to complete the installation in a single location without repeatedly moving between the engine room and cabin room, thereby improving work efficiency while maintaining installation feasibility.
