Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Housing arrangements for drive devices in vehicles are difficult to integrate into vehicles with different installation space situations.
Innovation Solution
A housing arrangement comprising a first and second housing with fastening sections that allow for flexible angular positioning, enabling compatibility with various installation spaces by allowing fastening at multiple angular positions through screw connections and form-fitting or friction-fitting connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the housing arrangement is designed to suit a specific installation space, then the drive device fits well in that vehicle, but it becomes difficult to integrate into other vehicles with different installation space situations
Solution Approach 1:
The housing arrangement incorporates a rotatable first housing that can be fastened to the second housing at multiple angular positions (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°). This dynamic positioning capability allows the drive device to adapt to various installation space configurations in different vehicles without requiring multiple specialized housing designs, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The second housing is designed with multiple fastening sections arranged at different angular positions, enabling the first housing to be mounted in various orientations. This universal mounting capability allows a single housing arrangement design to serve multiple installation scenarios across different vehicle types, achieving versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the first housing is fastened to the second housing at fixed angular positions, then the manufacturing and assembly are simplified, but the adaptability to different installation situations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The housing arrangement is segmented into a first housing and a second housing with distinct fastening sections. The second housing includes multiple discrete fastening sections positioned at specific angular intervals, allowing the first housing to be selectively fastened at different angular positions. This segmentation enables flexibility in angular positioning while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes for each individual housing component.

AI summary
A housing arrangement has a first and second housings. The first housing has a connection section on an outer periphery for receiving an electrical connector and a plurality of first fastening sections spaced apart evenly from each other in the peripheral direction for fastening to a second housing. The second housing has a plurality of fastening sections spaced evenly apart from each other in the peripheral direction. The first fastening sections of the first and second housings are arranged in such a way that the first housing can be fastened to the second housing in different angular positions in the peripheral direction. The first housing has at least one transmission section which is formed to correspond to one of the angular positions on a plurality of base sections, where the base sections are designed to form the transmission section corresponding to each of the angular positions.
