Core Drill Stand With Tool-Free Clamping for Portable Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Larger drills, such as core drills, require stands for mounting but existing solutions do not allow for efficient operation both on and off the stand, particularly in terms of portability and easy detachment of the battery pack.
Innovation Solution
A core drill system with a housing and attachable battery pack that can be operated on a drill stand and independently, featuring a tool-free clamping mechanism for securing the core drill and battery, allowing for easy detachment and reattachment, and a collapsible design for enhanced portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the core drill is mounted on a drill stand, then the core drill can be operated stably, but the portability and ease of detachment are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separable components: the core drill, the drill stand, and the battery pack. Each component can be independently handled, attached, or detached, allowing the core drill to be mounted on the stand for stable operation when needed, and easily removed for portable use when not needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system transitions from a fixed, permanent attachment to a dynamic, adjustable configuration. The core drill can be quickly mounted onto or detached from the drill stand without tools, enabling the system to adapt between stable mounted operation and portable handheld operation based on operational requirements.
2Reliability
If the battery pack is permanently attached to the core drill, then the power supply is reliable, but the ease of detachment and reattachment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is designed as a separate, detachable component from the core drill body. This segmentation allows the battery to be reliably attached when power is needed, while also enabling easy removal and reattachment without requiring tools or complex procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
A quick-connect interface or mounting mechanism serves as an intermediary between the battery pack and the core drill. This intermediary component enables both reliable electrical and mechanical connection during operation, while also facilitating rapid detachment when the battery needs to be replaced or removed.
