Chassis Assembly Structure With Linked Sliding Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current assembly methods for devices require users to individually assemble or disassemble multiple screws, making the process inconvenient and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
An assembly structure comprising a first and second assembly member, with sliding members that engage and disengage in different directions, allowing for rapid assembly or disassembly by sliding a single member, which drives other members to engage or disengage simultaneously.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If multiple screws are used to fix assembly members, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembly and disassembly operation becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple sliding members (first sliding member and second sliding member) are merged into a single integrated component that can simultaneously control multiple engaging portions. When the user slides this integrated member, it drives all engaging portions to engage or disengage from their respective engaging recesses simultaneously, converting a multi-step screw operation into a single sliding action while maintaining strong connections through multiple engaging points
Solution Approach 2:
The engaging portions are designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing them to slide into or out of the engaging recesses. This dynamic design enables the assembly members to be quickly assembled by sliding the sliding members in a first direction and quickly disassembled by sliding them in a second direction, replacing the static screw-fastening process with a dynamic sliding mechanism that maintains connection strength during operation
2Reliability
If multiple screws are used to fix assembly members, then the connection reliability is improved, but the assembly time is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding members are pre-configured with multiple engaging portions positioned to simultaneously engage with corresponding engaging recesses on the assembly members. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when the sliding action is performed, all connection points are engaged at the same time, achieving reliable multi-point connection in a single motion rather than requiring sequential screw tightening at multiple locations
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple sliding members are combined into one integrated sliding member that controls all engaging portions simultaneously. This merging allows the user to perform a single sliding operation to establish all connections, reducing assembly time while maintaining the reliability of multiple engaging portions working together to secure the assembly members

AI summary
An assembly structure includes a first assembly member, a second assembly member, a first sliding member and a second sliding member. The first assembly member includes a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion. The first sliding member includes a first through hole and a first engaging recess. The first engaging portion is disposed in the first through hole. The second sliding member includes a second through hole and a second engaging recess. The second engaging portion is disposed in the second through hole. The first sliding member slides toward a first direction to drive the second sliding member to slide toward a second direction, such that the first engaging portion engages with the first engaging recess and the second engaging portion engages with the second engaging recess.
