Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing manufacturing processes for brake fluid pressure control devices require separate equipment and manufacturing lines for bases capable of handling two systems and those capable of handling one system, leading to increased costs and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
Designing a base set where the first and second bases have identical configurations, allowing for common manufacturing lines and reducing equipment and manufacturing costs by sharing brake fluid passages and mounting holes, and optimizing the placement of components to minimize device size and production costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate manufacturing lines are used for two-system and one-system bases, then the brake fluid passages and mounting holes can be positioned according to each system's requirements, but the cost of equipment and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with a standardized configuration that can serve both two-system and one-system brake fluid pressure control devices. The brake fluid passages and mounting holes are positioned to accommodate the first system components, and the same base can be used for the second system by utilizing the identical configuration, thus making the base multi-functional and reducing the need for separate manufacturing lines.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the parameter of base configuration from system-specific to universal. By standardizing the brake fluid passage positions and mounting hole locations, the base can be manufactured once and used for both one-system and two-system applications, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining adaptability through proper component arrangement.
2Reliability
If separate manufacturing lines are used for two-system and one-system bases, then each system can have optimized component placement, but the cost of equipment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with a standardized configuration that can serve both two-system and one-system brake fluid pressure control devices. The brake fluid passages and mounting holes are positioned to accommodate the first system components, and the same base can be used for the second system by utilizing the identical configuration, thus making the base multi-functional and reducing the need for separate manufacturing lines.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention segments the manufacturing process into a common base manufacturing stage and a subsequent system-specific assembly stage. The base itself is manufactured once with standardized features, and then different system configurations are achieved through selective assembly of components, thereby reducing manufacturing line complexity while maintaining system optimization.
3Ease of manufacture
If common manufacturing lines are used for both two-system and one-system bases, then equipment cost and manufacturing cost are reduced, but the brake fluid passages and mounting holes must be positioned at the same locations
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with a standardized configuration that can serve both two-system and one-system brake fluid pressure control devices. The brake fluid passages and mounting holes are positioned to accommodate the first system components, and the same base can be used for the second system by utilizing the identical configuration, thus making the base multi-functional and reducing the need for separate manufacturing lines.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention resolves the positioning conflict by utilizing different spatial arrangements of components on the same base. The first system components are arranged according to the standardized brake fluid passage positions, while the second system components are arranged in a different configuration that also utilizes the same base, effectively solving the adaptability issue through dimensional arrangement rather than requiring different base geometries.

AI summary
A base set of a brake fluid pressure control device for a vehicle, includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped first base in which a brake fluid passage for a first system and a brake fluid passage for a second system are formed, and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped second base in which a brake fluid passage for a first system is formed. In the first base, in one face, assembling-component mounting holes in which assembling components are to be mounted are formed. In the first base, on one side of a reference line passing through a center of the one face, the brake fluid passage and an assembling-component mounting hole for the first system are formed, and on the other side of the reference line, the brake fluid passage and an assembling-component mounting hole for the second system are formed. In the second base, the brake fluid passage and an assembling-component mounting hole for the first system having the same configuration as those of the first base are formed.
