Castor Wheel Bracket Structure for Impact-Resistant Container Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing castor wheel mounting brackets for large containers are prone to failure under high impact forces, require manual alignment, and are costly to affix due to complex welding processes.
Innovation Solution
A bracket design with a locating portion, symmetrical structure, and gussets that includes multiple legs and apertures for easy alignment and secure attachment, reducing twisting and enhancing structural strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a bracket for castor wheels is integrated into a furniture component, then assembly is simplified and structural stability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases and flexibility for different wheel types is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the bracket and castor wheel into a single integrated component. The bracket is formed as one piece with the wheel assembly, eliminating separate parts and simplifying manufacturing while maintaining structural stability. The integrated design allows the component to function as a unified structural element.
2Ease of operation
If a bracket for castor wheels is integrated into a furniture component, then assembly is simplified, but adaptability to different wheel types and sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates adjustable elements that allow modification of the wheel receiving opening dimensions. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the same integrated component to accommodate different wheel types and sizes while maintaining simplified assembly through the integrated design.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the bracket includes an integrated wheel receiving opening, then structural stability is improved and assembly is simplified, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated bracket is designed with modular segments that can be manufactured separately and then joined. This segmentation allows each portion to be manufactured with standard precision tolerances, reducing overall manufacturing precision requirements while maintaining the structural stability of the integrated design.
