Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional disassembling tools for wheel hubs are inconvenient to operate due to unstable contact and vibration, leading to inefficient disassembly processes.

Innovation Solution

A disassembling tool featuring a main body with a screw rod, screw barrel, and a bearing with rotatable inner and outer rings and rollers, providing stable support and smooth rotation to facilitate the disassembly of wheel hubs without abrasion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the second blocking edge repeatedly strikes the wheel hub to disassemble it, then the disassembling function is achieved, but the second blocking edge vibrates relative to the wheel hub causing unstable contact and inconvenient operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisassembling functionVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a bearing as an intermediary component between the striking mechanism and the wheel hub. The bearing's inner ring receives axial strikes while its outer ring remains in stable contact with the wheel hub, mediating the force transmission and preventing direct vibration between the striking edge and the hub, thus achieving both effective disassembly and stable operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the contact structure dynamic by allowing the bearing to rotate relative to the wheel hub while maintaining stable contact. The outer ring of the bearing can rotate on the wheel hub surface, adapting to slight position variations and maintaining continuous stable contact during the disassembling process, thereby improving operation convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
