Cassette Assembly Device for Unpaved Surface Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional assembly and repair devices for vehicles require a floor recess with a base plate, making it difficult to install them on unpaved surfaces such as mud or seabed, where digging a hole is not possible.
Innovation Solution
A cassette assembly device with a shoring wall and support elements, such as steel supports, that allows the cassette to be hung freely between sheet piling, eliminating the need for a fixed base plate and enabling installation on any surface by using spacer elements to level the shoring wall.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a floor recess with a fixed base plate is used, then the assembly and repair device has stable support, but it cannot be installed on unpaved surfaces such as mud or seabed
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes the base plate from the traditional floor recess structure. Instead of requiring a fixed base plate embedded in the ground, the cassette is designed to be supported directly by carrier elements that attach to the side walls, allowing installation on various surfaces including unpaved ground without digging a hole.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a horizontal foundation-based support system to a vertical carrier element-based support system. The carrier elements are attached to the inner and/or outer wall of the longitudinal side walls and extend horizontally to rest on the shoring wall, changing the dimensional orientation of the support structure from vertical foundation to horizontal carrier element.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cassette is hung freely between shoring walls using carrier elements, then installation on any surface is enabled, but additional support structures are required
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the carrier elements with the cassette structure by attaching them to the inner and/or outer wall of the longitudinal side walls during manufacturing. This integration ensures that the carrier elements are pre-positioned and ready for installation, reducing on-site assembly complexity while enabling flexible installation on various surfaces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If spacer elements are used to level the shoring wall, then the cassette can be installed on uneven surfaces, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spacer elements act as intermediary components between the shoring wall and the carrier elements. These spacers compensate for height differences and uneven surfaces, allowing the cassette to be installed on varying ground conditions without requiring precise leveling of the shoring wall itself.

AI summary
Assembly and repair equipment (1) for vehicles, in particular construction and commercial vehicles, comprising a one- or multi-part cassette () made of steel or similar corrosion-resistant material with two longitudinal side walls (5), end walls (7) and a bottom (9), wherein at least the side walls (5, 7) each have an inner wall (11) and an outer wall (13) arranged at a distance therefrom, which define a cavity (15) for receiving a curable filling material, wherein several spaced-apart support elements (17) for suspending the cassette (3) on a retaining wall, in particular a sheet pile wall (19), are attached to the inner and/or outer wall (11, 13) of the longitudinal side walls (5).
