Drum Mounting Device With Memory Lock Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing drum mounting devices require laborious adjustments to change the height of drums, leading to unstable drum attitudes during setup, as they often require repeated tightening and loosening of bolts and hooks, which complicates the process and results in detachment issues.
Innovation Solution
A drum mounting device featuring a bracket fixed to the drum and a memory lock on a pole, allowing easy adjustment and stabilization through a sliding operating lever that securely attaches the bracket to the memory lock, reducing the need for frequent bolt tightening and enhancing stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional bracket designs with multiple bolts and nuts are used, then the drum can be securely attached, but the adjustment process becomes laborious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into two functional components: a memory lock mechanism that secures the pole at a specific height, and a bracket body that attaches to the memory lock. This segmentation allows the memory lock to handle the secure attachment function while the bracket body provides easy height adjustment through simple engagement and disengagement operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The memory lock is pre-fixed to the pole at a desired height position before the bracket body is attached. This preliminary action eliminates the need to adjust multiple bolts during the attachment process, as the height position is already predetermined by the memory lock mechanism.
2Device complexity
If hooks are used to attach the drum, then the structure remains simple, but the drum attitude becomes unstable and hoops may detach during height adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is segmented into the bracket body with locking mechanisms and the memory lock on the pole. This segmentation provides stable attachment points that prevent drum hoop detachment while maintaining overall structural simplicity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket body acts as an intermediary between the drum hoops and the pole. Instead of directly hooking the hoops to the pole, the bracket body provides a stable intermediate attachment structure that secures the drum attitude while allowing for height adjustment.
