Composite Stand Stud Structure for Strength and Surface Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional all-metal stand studs are prone to breaking when used with heavier or larger equipment, and they can damage equipment due to friction, while all-plastic stand studs lack strength and durability.
Innovation Solution
A composite stand stud is designed with a plastic body portion and a metal screw, along with a metal tubular member around the support body to enhance strength and prevent wear on equipment surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the stand stud is made of all-metal materials, then the strength and durability are improved, but the equipment abutment surface can be damaged by friction
Solution Approach 1:
The stand stud employs different materials for different parts: metal materials (such as iron, aluminum, or zinc) are used for the connecting portion and screw to provide strength, while plastic or other buffer materials are used for the support platform to prevent equipment damage through friction. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between overall strength and localized protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand stud is constructed as a composite structure combining metal and plastic materials. The metal components (connecting portion, screw) provide structural strength and durability, while the plastic support platform provides a protective interface with equipment. This composite approach simultaneously achieves both strength enhancement and equipment protection.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the stand stud is made of all-plastic materials, then the equipment damage is avoided, but the stand stud is easy to be broken and limited in use
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of making the entire stand stud from plastic, the invention applies plastic only to the support platform where contact with equipment occurs, while metal materials are used for the connecting portion and screw. This localized application of plastic provides equipment protection without compromising the overall strength needed for heavier or larger equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite structure combines plastic and metal materials, where the plastic support platform prevents equipment damage while the metal connecting portion and screw provide the necessary strength and durability for various equipment weights and sizes, expanding the applicability range.
3Strength
If the stand stud is made of all-metal materials, then the strength is improved, but the stand stud is prone to breaking when used with heavier or larger equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The composite structure combines metal and plastic materials strategically: metal is used for the connecting portion and screw where structural strength is critical, while plastic is used for the support platform. This combination maintains high strength for heavier equipment while the plastic component provides wear resistance and friction reduction, improving overall durability.

AI summary
A composite stand stud includes a body portion, a screw and a tubular member. The body portion includes a support platform, a support body, and a connecting portion. A diameter of the support platform is larger than a diameter of the support body, and two ends of the support body are respectively connected to the support platform and the connecting portion. A diameter of the screw is smaller than a diameter of the support body, and one end of the screw is defined as an embedded end disposed in the connecting portion of the body portion, and the other end thereof is defined as a penetrating end penetrating from a center of the support platform to an outside of the body portion. The screw and the support platform are perpendicular to each other. The tubular member is wrapped around an outer edge of the support body.
