Cable Holding Device Lateral Stand for Assembly Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holding devices for cables or pipes have accessibility issues due to centrally arranged fastening devices, making it difficult to assemble and check the installation, especially when using tools that require alignment without direct sight.
Innovation Solution
A holding device with a stand arranged on the lateral edge of the holding foot, allowing partial accessibility for mounting and providing a fastening opening for anchoring to the ground, eliminating the need for a through-opening in the stand, thus improving stability and facilitating assembly and inspection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the fastening device is arranged centrally on the holding foot, then the cable or pipe can be securely fastened, but the accessibility of the holding foot is complicated, making assembly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The holding device is divided into functionally independent parts: the holding foot for mounting, the stand for spacing, and the fastening device for cable securing. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand is arranged laterally on the holding foot, extending in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. This spatial arrangement moves the fastening device away from the central mounting area, providing clear access to the holding foot for assembly operations while maintaining the required spacing.
2Ease of operation
If the stand has a through-opening for tool passage, then the fastening device can be set, but the stability of the stand is reduced and alignment becomes difficult without direct sight
Solution Approach 1:
The function of allowing tool passage is extracted from the stand structure itself. Instead of creating a through-opening in the stand, the tool is guided to the fastening device through the passage opening in the holding foot, which is specifically designed for this purpose and does not compromise stand stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The passage opening in the holding foot serves as an intermediary element that enables tool access to the fastening device without requiring openings in the stand. This mediator structure maintains the integrity and stability of the stand while still allowing necessary tool passage for assembly.
3Area of stationary object
If the stand is arranged centrally, then the structure is compact, but the side of the holding foot facing away from the mounting side becomes inaccessible for mounting operations
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is positioned asymmetrically on the holding foot, specifically on a lateral edge area rather than centrally. This asymmetric arrangement preserves access to the majority of the holding foot surface, particularly the side facing away from the mounting side, while still providing the necessary spacing for the fastening device.
