Detachable Clamping Support Bracket for Frame Beam Shimming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing frame spar fastening systems require welding of support brackets, which is costly and limits adaptability to uneven surfaces, and existing solutions do not offer a cost-effective method for adjusting to different installation situations.
Innovation Solution
A frame spar with a support device featuring a cranked clamping area and a support bracket that can be securely clamped between leg areas or a step, allowing for adjustable clamping force and omission of welding, enabling easy adaptation to various installation scenarios without specialized tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If support brackets are welded to the frame spar, then the connection strength is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases and adaptability to uneven surfaces decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket is divided into separate components: a bracket body and a clamping arm. The clamping arm can be independently adjusted and clamped to the frame spar, eliminating the need for welding while maintaining connection strength. This segmentation allows for easy adjustment to accommodate uneven surfaces without requiring complex welding procedures.
2Stability of the object's composition
If support brackets are welded to the frame spar, then the structural integrity is improved, but the adaptability to different installation situations worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket incorporates a movable clamping arm that can be adjusted to different positions and angles. The clamping mechanism allows the bracket to dynamically adapt to uneven surfaces and various installation situations while maintaining secure attachment to the frame spar, thereby preserving structural integrity without sacrificing adaptability.
3Reliability
If welding is used to attach support brackets, then the fastening reliability is improved, but the device complexity and specialization requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket features a self-clamping mechanism where the clamping arm is designed to be simply attached to the frame spar without requiring welding or specialized tools. The bracket serves itself by providing its own mounting mechanism through the clamping arm, which can be easily secured using standard fasteners, thereby maintaining fastening reliability while reducing device complexity.
4Manufacturing precision
If support brackets are custom-made for different frame depths, then the installation precision is improved, but the manufacturing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple frame depths. The clamping arm can be adjusted to different positions along the frame spar, allowing a single bracket design to serve multiple installation scenarios. This universality maintains installation precision across different frame depths while significantly improving manufacturing efficiency by eliminating the need to produce custom brackets for each frame size.
