Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing receiving apparatuses for machine tools are not flexible enough to accommodate different installation spaces and require separate designs for various machine tools, limiting their adaptability and ease of installation.
Innovation Solution
A receiving apparatus with a displacement device and a blocking device connected to a displacement mechanism, allowing the receiving device to be displaceable and securely fastened to a machine tool housing using a fastening device, enabling flexible arrangement and positioning without the need for multiple designs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the receiving device is secured to the housing by means of two screws, then the receiving device can be firmly fixed, but the receiving apparatus lacks flexibility for different installation spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving device is made displaceable relative to the displacement device through a displacement mechanism (such as a rail with T-shaped cross-section or slotted link), allowing the receiving device to be positioned at different locations along the displacement mechanism depending on the available installation space, thereby providing flexibility without requiring multiple different receiving apparatus designs
Solution Approach 2:
The displacement device with its displacement mechanism serves multiple functions: it allows the receiving device to be positioned at different locations for flexibility, provides a blocking device for securing the receiving device in the desired position, and enables comprehensive fastening in a single step, making the receiving apparatus universally applicable to various installation spaces and machine tool configurations
2Adaptability or versatility
If different receiving apparatuses are provided for different machine tools, then each receiving apparatus can be optimized for its specific housing, but the overall system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving apparatus is designed as a universal solution that can be adapted to different machine tools and housing configurations. The displacement device with its adjustable positioning mechanism allows a single receiving apparatus design to accommodate various installation spaces and housing types, eliminating the need for multiple specialized receiving apparatus designs for different machine tools
3Adaptability or versatility
If the receiving device is made displaceable, then flexibility is increased, but the fastening process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The blocking device is integrated into the fastening device, allowing both the fastening of the receiving device to the housing and the fixing of the receiving device position relative to the displacement device to be accomplished in a single fastening operation. The blocking device interacts with the displacement mechanism to prevent displacement when the fastening device is connected, combining multiple functions into one simple fastening step

AI summary
A receiving apparatus for an electronic device is provided, in particular of a machine tool, including a receiving device for receiving the electronic device and a fastening device for connecting the receiving device to a housing of the machine tool. A displacement device is provided which is connected to a displacement mechanism of the receiving device such that the receiving device is displaceable relative to the displacement device, a blocking device being provided which interacts with the displacement mechanism and is coupled to the displacement device, the displacement device being connectable to the housing of the machine tool by the fastening device, and it being possible to secure the blocking device to the displacement mechanism of the fastening device when the fastening device is connected to the housing of the machine tool, and thus a displacement of the displacement device relative to the displacement mechanism can be prevented. The invention also relates to an assembly consisting of a receiving apparatus and a housing.
