Charging Device Holding Assembly With Movable Securing Frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging device systems face challenges in achieving a compact design and optimizing assembly for different vehicle types due to modular designs and the need for direct attachment to vehicle bodies, which complicates the attachment process and assembly.
Innovation Solution
A holding device with a movably attached securing frame that tensions and secures locking hooks in different positions, allowing for easy assembly and secure locking with a locking contour, enabling variation in application and simplifying the assembly process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a modular design with a central module and multiple end modules is used for charging devices, then adaptability to different vehicle types and charging standards is improved, but device complexity and difficulty of assembly increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is designed as a universal mounting component that can accommodate different charging device configurations. The securing frame with its movable design and multiple locking hooks can secure various types of charging devices to the same base plate, eliminating the need for different mounting solutions for different vehicle types.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is divided into separate functional components: a base plate for vehicle attachment, a movable securing frame for device retention, and locking hooks for securing the charging device. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies assembly.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the securing frame is rigidly fixed to the base plate, then structural stability is improved, but ease of operation for mounting and dismounting charging devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The securing frame is designed to be movable relative to the base plate, transitioning between a retracted position for easy device insertion and a forward position where locking hooks engage to secure the device. This dynamic design provides both ease of operation during mounting and structural stability during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking hooks are pre-positioned on the securing frame so that when the frame is moved forward, the hooks automatically engage with the charging device in a preliminary locking action, securing the device before final tightening is required.
3Reliability
If multiple locking hooks are used to secure the charging device, then reliability of the connection is improved, but difficulty of assembly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking hooks are designed to be self-aligning and self-latching. When the securing frame is moved into position, the hooks automatically find and engage with their corresponding engagement points on the charging device, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment and reducing assembly difficulty while maintaining reliable connection.

AI summary
The invention relates to a holding assembly (100; 610) for holding an electrical charging device (200; 620), comprising: a base plate (110) having an upper side (112) and at least one latching hook (114), which extends from the upper side (112) of the base plate (110) and which is provided for latching with a latching contour (210) of the charging device (200; 620); and a securing frame (150) which is attached to the base plate (110) such that it can move between a first position and a second position and which is designed to clamp the latching hook (114) in an open state in the first position and to secure the latching hook (114) in a closed state in the second position.
