Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fastening methods, such as buckles, often result in unstable and loose combinations due to structural design issues, leading to a lack of stability and shockproofing in object connections.

Innovation Solution

A fastening body comprising a locking part, an elastic element, and a blocking section, where the blocking section is movably disposed at the locking part, and the elastic element is positioned between them to apply elastic pressure to an engaged object, ensuring a stable and shockproof connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional buckles are used to combine objects, then the fastening structure is simple, but the combination becomes unstable and loose

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of object combinationVSAvoidcomplexity of fastening structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening body is divided into distinct functional segments: a locking part for structural support, a blocking section for direct engagement with the engaged object, and an elastic element for applying pressure. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally, resulting in a stable combination while maintaining reasonable overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The blocking section is designed to be movable relative to the locking part, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position and apply elastic pressure through the elastic element. This dynamic capability enables the fastening structure to maintain stability under varying conditions while absorbing shocks and vibrations, directly addressing the instability problem of traditional static buckles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional buckles are used to combine objects, then the fastening structure is simple, but the connection lacks shockproof capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshockproof capabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of fastening structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic element is pre-positioned between the locking part and blocking section to provide beforehand cushioning. When external shocks or vibrations occur, the elastic element absorbs and dissipates the impact energy, protecting the engaged object from harmful effects. This prior cushioning mechanism adds shockproof capability without significantly increasing structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic element changes its physical parameters (compression, expansion) in response to external shocks, dynamically adjusting its stiffness and damping characteristics. This parameter change allows the fastening structure to adapt to varying shock conditions, providing effective shockproofing while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
