Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If magnetic buckle is used to connect hook frames, then the connection is simple and easy to operate, but the load-bearing capacity is limited and separation occurs easily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of connectionVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is divided into two independent locking members: a first locking member that rotates to engage with the first hook frame, and a second locking member that rotates to engage with the second hook frame. This segmentation allows each locking member to independently provide mechanical locking, thereby increasing overall connection reliability while maintaining ease of operation through simple rotational motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The locking members utilize rotational motion to transition between locked and unlocked states. The first locking member rotates to engage with the first hook frame, and the second locking member rotates to engage with the second hook frame. This dynamic mechanism enables easy operation through simple rotational actions while providing reliable mechanical interlocking to prevent separation under load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If reinforcement lock member is added to increase load-bearing capacity, then connection stability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement locking mechanism is segmented into two independent locking members, each responsible for engaging with one hook frame. This segmentation allows the system to achieve enhanced load-bearing capacity through dual mechanical locking while keeping each individual locking mechanism relatively simple in structure, thereby managing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The locking members serve multiple functions: they provide mechanical interlocking to prevent separation, bear load through rotational engagement, and enable easy operation through simple rotational motions. This multi-functionality allows the reinforcement locking mechanism to achieve high connection stability without requiring overly complex structural designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If limiting member is used to restrict circular ring movement, then position stability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircular ring position stabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The limiting member is pre-configured within the circular ring structure to restrict movement in specific directions before the hook is subjected to load. This preliminary positioning action ensures that the circular ring maintains its intended geometry and orientation, providing position stability without requiring complex active control mechanisms during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The limiting member provides localized constraint specifically at the circular ring position, restricting movement only where necessary to maintain structural integrity. This localized quality approach ensures position stability of the circular ring while minimizing additional complexity by not over-constraining other parts of the hook structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present invention discloses a double ended hook with dual locks, relating to the technical field of hooks, comprising a hook frame having locking member, the bottom end of hook frame is fixedly connected with a magnetic block, one side of hook frame is fixedly connected with reinforcement locking member to connect with another hook frame, the reinforcement lock member comprises a first locking buckle, one end of first locking buckle is rotatably connected with one side of hook frame, and the other side of hook frame is fixedly connected with first limiting member. The invention further fixes two hook frames under magnetic adsorption through the reinforcement lock member, so even when the double ended hook loads a weight exceeding the adsorption force between magnetic blocks, the reinforcing lock member that can be simply operated bears the load capacity between two hook frames, minimizing their separation and improving the convenience.
