Floating Fixing Component for Stable Quick-Release Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fastening methods result in unstable connections where objects can become unstably movable relative to each other, making it difficult to repeatedly and quickly connect and disconnect them.
Innovation Solution
A floating fixing component with a stop section and anti-rotation section that allows for a floating space between objects, enabling secure attachment and adjustment, and engaging sections that engage under pressure to enhance stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional fastening methods (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 move relative to each other
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is divided into multiple functional sections: a stop section for preventing separation, an anti-rotation section for preventing rotation, and a floating section for allowing controlled movement. This segmentation enables each section to perform its specific function independently, achieving both stability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a floating space between the fixing component and the object, allowing the fixing component to float and shift relative to the object. This dynamic capability enables the connection to adapt to positional variations while maintaining stability, and allows for quick disconnection by simply removing the floating component.
2Strength
If screws are used to directly lock objects together, then strong connection is achieved, but the connection cannot be easily disconnected and reconnected
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is pre-configured with the stop section, anti-rotation section, and floating section in a ready-to-install state. The stop section is designed to abut against the object upon insertion, immediately providing separation prevention without requiring additional tightening actions. This preliminary configuration enables quick installation and disconnection while maintaining strong connection.
3Manufacturing precision
If a fixed connection is made between objects, then stable positioning is achieved, but flexibility for adjustment is lost
Solution Approach 1:
Different sections of the fixing component have different functional qualities: the stop section provides rigid positioning to prevent separation, the anti-rotation section provides rotational constraint, and the floating section provides controlled mobility. This local differentiation of qualities enables the connection to be precise in critical dimensions while remaining adjustable in others.

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.
