Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing die pressing plates face issues with complex structures, inconvenient assembly and use, and high manufacturing costs due to the need for gusset plates and multiple components, which can lead to component loss and increased processing steps.
Innovation Solution
A die pressing plate design featuring a main body with an adjusting groove and guiding grooves, an upper and lower cushion block with extension portions that elastically engage and secure without the need for gusset plates, reducing components and processing steps, and enhancing assembly convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If gusset plates are used to connect upper and lower cushion blocks, then the cushion blocks can be connected together, but the number of parts increases and installation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the connection function directly into the cushion blocks by adding extension portions with blocking portions that engage with guiding grooves in the main body. This eliminates the need for separate gusset plates, reducing the number of parts while maintaining connection stability through the integrated elastic engagement mechanism.
2Stability of the object's composition
If hollow connectors and stoppers are used to connect cushion blocks, then component scattering is prevented, but the number of components increases and assembly becomes less convenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the connector function into the extension portions of the upper cushion block, which integrate with the main body through blocking portions engaging guiding grooves. This eliminates separate hollow connectors and stoppers, reducing component count while maintaining integration through the elastic blocking mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The extension portions with blocking portions automatically engage with the guiding grooves in the main body through elastic deformation, creating a self-securing connection that prevents component scattering without requiring additional fastening operations or separate securing components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple components are used in die pressing plate, then functional requirements are met, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces manufacturing cost by integrating multiple functions into fewer components. The extension portions with blocking portions combine connection, positioning, and securing functions that previously required separate gusset plates or hollow connectors with stoppers, simplifying production while maintaining functional capability.
