Solution Overview

Problem

The manual assembly of direct current motors is labor-intensive and inefficient due to the difficulty in firmly fixing the front and rear end covers and housing using a long screw, requiring multiple attempts and increasing operator labor intensity.

Innovation Solution

An auxiliary fixing device with a base, vertically arranged support frame, lifting driving mechanism, and positioning plates with grooves and guides facilitates the alignment and compression of the motor components, allowing for precise positioning and efficient screwing of the long screw without manual strain.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual compression is used to fix the front end cover, housing and rear end cover, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of fixation is insufficient requiring multiple screwing attempts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A compression device is introduced as an intermediary tool between the operator and the motor components. The compression device includes a compression plate that contacts the rear end cover and a compression rod that transmits force to compress the corrugated gasket, providing reliable fixation without requiring multiple screwing attempts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple screwing attempts are made to complete the assembly, then the fixation reliability is improved, but the productivity decreases due to increased labor intensity and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation reliabilityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The compression device performs preliminary compression of the corrugated gasket before the long screw is fully installed. The compression plate and compression rod pre-compress the sealing structure, ensuring proper fixation is achieved in advance, eliminating the need for repeated screwing attempts and improving assembly efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the motor components are not firmly fixed during assembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to misalignment of the long screw

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment easeVSAvoidscrew positioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The compression device acts as a mediator that maintains proper alignment between the front end cover, housing, and rear end cover during compression. The compression plate and compression rod transmit force along the central axis, preventing lateral displacement and ensuring the long screw remains properly aligned throughout the assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
