Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing carlimba brackets have manufacturing and assembly errors, making them difficult to assemble and inflexible in accommodating various scale arrangements.
Innovation Solution
A carlimba bracket design featuring integrally formed front and back nuts, bridges, and connecting pieces that eliminate the need for separate assembly, allowing for easy insertion of elastic pieces and adaptation to different scale arrangements through reserved elastic piece gaps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the front and back nuts and the bridge are separate components, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the manufacturing precision and assembly accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the front nut, back nut, and bridge into a single integrated bracket component. This combining approach maintains ease of manufacture through standardized production while eliminating assembly errors and improving manufacturing precision, as the integrated design ensures consistent positioning without requiring separate assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated bracket serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, positions the elastic pieces, and enables tuning through the adjustable bridge mechanism. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by consolidating several components into one that maintains manufacturing simplicity while achieving precise functional integration.
2Device complexity
If the front and back nuts and the bridge are separate components, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to various scale arrangements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a movable bridge mechanism within the integrated bracket that can be adjusted along the elastic pieces. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the bracket to adapt to various scale arrangements and tuning requirements while maintaining a simple unified structure, thus resolving the contradiction between low device complexity and high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
While the bracket itself is integrated, the patent allows for segmentation of the elastic pieces and their individual positioning within the bracket structure. This enables different scale arrangements and configurations while maintaining the overall simplicity of the unified bracket design.
3Ease of manufacture
If separate assembly is used, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the loss of time in assembly and the difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated bracket combines multiple components into a single pre-assembled unit that can be manufactured efficiently and then installed as one piece. This approach maintains the manufacturing advantages of separate component production while eliminating the time-consuming assembly steps, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and assembly time.

AI summary
The present invention provides a carlimba bracket and a carlimba. The carlimba bracket includes bracket units. Each bracket unit includes a front nut, a back nut and a bridge; the bridge is located between the front nut and the back nut; a first connecting piece is arranged between the front nut and the bridge and fixedly connected with the front nut and the bridge; a second connecting piece is arranged between the back nut and the bridge and fixedly connected with the back nut and the bridge; a front supporting position is arranged at the upper part of the front nut; a back supporting position is arranged at the upper part of the back nut; a downward pressing portion is arranged at the lower part of the bridge; and an elastic piece gap is reserved among the pressing portion, the front supporting position and the back supporting position. The carlimba bracket and the carlimba are convenient to assemble, are small in error after assembly and can adapt to various scale arrangements.
