Innovation Solution
A safety caliper cover with a novel structure, featuring a cover body, safety buckles, and locking pieces, which includes Z-direction connecting columns, fastening pieces with multiple extensions, and locking mechanisms such as screw bolts, nuts, or circlips, to ensure secure and easy assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional safety caliper covers are used, then the caliper outer surface is covered and decorated, but the structure becomes complex and mounting becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The safety caliper cover is divided into a cover body and a separate fastening assembly (safety buckle with locking piece). This segmentation allows the cover body to remain simple and easy to manufacture, while the fastening function is handled by a dedicated modular component that can be easily attached and removed.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening function is extracted from the cover body and implemented as a separate safety buckle assembly. This extraction simplifies the cover body structure while providing convenient mounting through the standalone fastening mechanism that can be easily installed and adjusted.
2Strength
If traditional safety caliper covers are used, then the caliper is covered, but the mounting strength is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The safety buckle and locking piece are combined into an integrated fastening assembly that provides both strong mechanical attachment and easy operation. The merging of these components creates a unified mounting mechanism that ensures sufficient mounting strength while maintaining user-friendly installation and removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening piece is designed with pre-formed engagement features that align with corresponding features on the caliper. This preliminary configuration of the fastening mechanism allows for quick and strong attachment without requiring complex assembly steps, thereby achieving both high mounting strength and operational convenience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional safety caliper covers are used, then the caliper is covered and decorated, but the adaptation to different caliper shapes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The safety buckle and fastening piece are designed as universal components that can accommodate various caliper shapes and sizes. The fastening mechanism incorporates adjustable and flexible engagement features that can adapt to different geometries, providing broad versatility without requiring complex specialized designs for each caliper type.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening structure incorporates adjustable parameters such as the position and orientation of the locking piece and safety buckle engagement points. These parameter changes allow the same fastening assembly to be adapted to different caliper shapes and mounting locations, enhancing versatility while maintaining structural simplicity.

AI summary
A safety caliper cover is provided, which relates to the technical field of automobile accessories. The safety caliper cover includes a cover body, safety buckles, and locking pieces. A length direction of the cover body is an X-direction, a width direction of the cover body is a Y-direction, and a thickness direction of the cover body is a Z-direction. The cover body covers an outer surface side of a caliper of a wheel hub of an automobile. Z-direction connecting columns are arranged on an inner surface of the cover body. The safety buckle includes a fastening piece and a Z-direction connecting lug connected to the fastening piece. The Z-direction connecting lug corresponds to the Z-direction connecting column. The locking piece is used for penetrating through the Z-direction connecting lug to be locked with the Z-direction connecting column.
