Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spinning devices face challenges in securely and easily attaching the channel plate adapter to the rotor housing cover, leading to potential damage and operational interruptions due to complex fixation methods and susceptibility to vibrations and forces during spinning operations.
Innovation Solution
A spinning device with a spring-loaded locking bolt that automatically moves from a release position to a locking position, providing a self-locking mechanism for the channel plate adapter, ensuring secure and vibration-resistant attachment without the need for additional manual intervention or complex structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screw bolts are used to fix the channel plate adapter, then the adapter can be securely attached, but the fixing process becomes complicated and time-consuming requiring tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional screw bolt mechanical fastening system with a magnetic field-based fixing system. The channel plate adapter contains magnetic elements that are attracted to corresponding magnetic elements in the rotor housing cover, eliminating the need for screw bolts and manual tool-based fastening while maintaining secure attachment during high-speed spinning operations.
2Ease of operation
If magnetic fixing is used for the channel plate adapter, then the attachment process is simplified, but the adapter can be displaced or detached under high forces during spinning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple magnetic elements distributed across the channel plate adapter and rotor housing cover to create a distributed magnetic field system. This merging of multiple magnetic fixation points working together provides sufficient total magnetic force to securely hold the adapter during high-speed spinning while maintaining simple operation for attachment and removal.
3Reliability
If pivotable fixing elements are used to secure the adapter, then the adapter can be fixed, but the design becomes complex and the fixing can be unintentionally opened by vibrations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical pivotable fixing element system with a magnetic field-based fixing system. The magnetic attraction force provides continuous securing without moving parts that could be accidentally opened by vibrations, eliminating the complexity of pivot levers and mechanical locking mechanisms while maintaining reliable fixation during spinning operations.
