Electric Booster Housing with Integrated Bolt and Hook Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electric boosters require additional space and increased assembling time due to the need for multiple bolt couplings, which complicates system layout and introduces the risk of moisture ingress.
Innovation Solution
The electric booster employs a housing design that combines bolt coupling and hook coupling mechanisms to reduce assembly time and prevent moisture ingress, with a sealing part between the housing parts to block moisture and a disk to relieve shock, allowing for improved assembling performance and reduced space requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If bolt coupling is used to couple the housings, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembling time is increased and additional space is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines bolt coupling and hook coupling mechanisms into a single integrated coupling system. The housing includes both bolt coupling parts for strong connection and hook coupling parts for rapid assembly, allowing the two coupling methods to work together rather than separately, thus reducing total assembly time while maintaining connection strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling system is divided into distinct functional segments: bolt coupling parts for providing connection strength and hook coupling parts for enabling rapid assembly. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, reducing the overall assembly time while maintaining the required connection strength.
2Reliability
If multiple bolts are used to fasten the housings, then the connection reliability is improved, but the device complexity is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple coupling functions into a single integrated coupling structure that includes both bolt coupling parts and hook coupling parts. This unified design reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for separate coupling mechanisms while maintaining connection reliability through the combined action of both coupling types.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: the bolt coupling parts provide strong, reliable connections, while the hook coupling parts enable rapid assembly and disassembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate components, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining reliability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If additional space is allocated for bolt coupling, then the connection stability is improved, but the system layout efficiency is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates bolt coupling and hook coupling mechanisms within the same coupling structure, allowing both connection stability and layout efficiency to be optimized simultaneously. The combined coupling system provides stable connections through bolt engagement while maintaining compact dimensions through the interlocking hook mechanism, improving overall system layout efficiency.
