Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for installing ceiling anchor bolts and full thread bolts are inefficient and hazardous, requiring workers to climb high places, leading to increased accident risks and prolonged work times due to the need to manage multiple tools.

Innovation Solution

A jig tool set comprising a drill bit, connecting rod, anchor bolt set, and drill gun allows workers to perform drilling and anchor bolt installation from the ground, using a drill gun to provide rotational and hitting forces, thereby improving efficiency and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a worker climbs on a high-place workbench to perform drilling and anchor bolt installation, then the work can be completed, but the risk of industrial accidents increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework safetyVSAvoidwork accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of having the worker climb up to operate the drill, the drill is lowered down to the worker on the ground. The drill rod extends from the ceiling anchor bolt installation position down to the ground level, allowing the worker to operate the drill from the ground while the drill bit performs drilling operations at the ceiling level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The drill rod acts as an intermediary element connecting the ground-level drill operation to the ceiling-level drilling position. It transmits rotational force and impact from the ground-based drill to the drill bit at the ceiling anchor bolt installation position, eliminating the need for worker elevation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple jig tools are used for drilling, hitting anchor setting punch, and fixing anchor bolts, then the work can be completed, but the work time increases and tool management becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework efficiencyVSAvoidtool management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The drill rod integrates multiple functions into a single tool system. It serves as both the drilling tool and the anchor bolt installation tool, combining what were previously separate operations requiring different tools into one unified system that performs both functions sequentially.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The drill rod is designed as a multi-functional tool that can perform drilling operations, transmit impact force for anchor setting, and facilitate anchor bolt installation. This universal tool eliminates the need for multiple specialized tools and simplifies tool management while maintaining all necessary functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple separate operations (drilling, hitting anchor, fixing bolt) are performed sequentially, then each operation can be done properly, but the total work time is prolonged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation qualityVSAvoidtotal work time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The drill rod enables continuous operation without interruption between drilling and anchor bolt installation. The tool remains in position throughout the entire process, allowing seamless transition from drilling to anchor setting to bolt installation, eliminating the need to remove and reposition tools between operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A jig tool set for constructing a full thread bolt, and a method of constructing a full thread bolt using the jig tool set. The jig tool set includes a drill bit, a connecting rod, an anchor bolt set, a full thread bolt, and a drill gun. The drill bit includes a drilling part to secure a hole by drilling a ceiling slab made of concrete at one end. The anchor bolt set is fixed to the hole formed in the ceiling slab through the drill bit and configured to form the full thread bolt in the ceiling slab. The connecting rod has a certain length so that, as the drill bit and the anchor bolt set are sequentially seated at one end thereof. A drill gun is formed at the other end of the connecting rod and configured to provide a rotational force and a hitting force.
