Floating Fixing Component for Stable Quick-Release Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fastening methods often result in unstable connections between objects, as they do not allow for repeated and quick connections and disconnections.
Innovation Solution
A floating fixing component with a stop section and an application section, featuring a floating space between them, allowing for repeated and quick connections and disconnections by preventing separation and allowing floating and shifting movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If screws are used to directly lock two objects together, then fixed and non-easily-separable connection is achieved, but the connection becomes unstable and objects can still move relative to one another
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a floating fixing component that combines dynamic and static elements. The component includes a floating section that can move relative to the first object within a floating space, while a stop section provides stable positioning. This dynamic design allows the connection to adapt to positional variations and maintain stability without preventing easy assembly and disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The floating fixing component is divided into distinct functional sections: a floating section that enables movement and adjustment, and a stop section that provides stable positioning. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function - the floating section handles repeated connection/disconnection while the stop section ensures connection stability.
2Reliability
If a fixed connection method is used to prevent separation, then connection stability is improved, but the ability to repeatedly and quickly connect and disconnect is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The floating fixing component uses a dynamic floating section that can be quickly inserted and removed from the first object, enabling rapid connection and disconnection. The floating space allows for easy insertion while the stop section ensures reliable positioning once connected, achieving both time efficiency and connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The stop section is pre-configured to automatically engage with the first object when the floating fixing component is inserted, providing immediate reliable positioning without requiring additional fastening steps. This preliminary action ensures connection reliability is achieved as soon as the component is installed.
3Ease of operation
If the floating fixing component is allowed to float and shift on the object, then repeated and quick connections are enabled, but unintended movement or separation may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The floating section is designed to move dynamically within a controlled floating space, allowing for easy adjustment and quick connection. The stop section provides a stable reference point that prevents excessive movement while still permitting the necessary floating action for quick assembly and disassembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The stop section is positioned to preemptively prevent unintended movement or separation before it can occur. By providing a predetermined stop point, the design allows the floating section to move freely within limits while automatically preventing excessive displacement that would cause instability.

AI summary
A floating fixing component and a mounting method thereof are introduced. The floating fixing component includes at least a stop section and an application section. The stop section is used to abut against an object to prevent the floating fixing component from separating from the object. The floating fixing component and the object have a floating space existed between them, such that the floating fixing component can float and shift on and relative to the object. With these arrangements, the floating fixing component can be mounted to an object while the application section can be fastened to or disconnected from another object. In this manner, at least two objects can be repeatedly and quickly connected to and disconnected from one another.
