Solution Overview

Problem

Existing harness strap connection devices lack both anti-slip and quick-detach functions, complicating manipulation and posing risks during emergency evacuations.

Innovation Solution

An anti-slip and quick-detach fastener structure featuring a fixing ring with a dynamic friction member, where a first friction section and a second fixing section form a dynamic friction state to clamp the strap securely and release it quickly by rotating the first friction section.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional adjustment ring is used to secure the strap, then the strap is prevented from slipping off, but the detachment process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-slip performanceVSAvoiddetachment speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a static friction-based retention mechanism to a dynamic friction-controlled mechanism. The first friction section can be rotated to dynamically change the friction state between the first friction section and the second fixing section, enabling quick detachment while maintaining secure retention during normal use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a buckle with protruding portion and groove is used to connect strap ends, then the strap can be quickly attached, but the buckle may detach under large force and cannot adjust strap length

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment speedVSAvoidretention reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing friction as a variable parameter to control the retention force. The dynamic friction state between the first friction section and the second fixing section can be adjusted through rotation, allowing the system to adapt to different force conditions and maintain reliable retention without being pre-formed with fixed-length constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the strap is inserted through ring holes for adjustment, then the strap length can be modified, but the manipulation becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrap length adjustabilityVSAvoidmanipulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by removing the need for strap insertion through ring holes. Instead, the strap ends are directly constrained by the fixing ring structure, eliminating the complicated insertion and adjustment manipulation while maintaining length adaptability through the dynamic friction mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
