Freight Trailer Flooring Hybrid Adhesive Bolt Fixation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing floorings for freight transport vehicles or trailers made of wood-based materials face durability issues due to inadequate fixation methods, leading to potential sound emission and structural instability during transportation of bulk freight.
Innovation Solution
A flooring system for freight transport vehicles or trailers that combines plywood plates fixed to a metal frame using a combination of adhesive and undetachable fasteners, such as bolts, to ensure secure and durable attachment, minimizing sound emission and enhancing structural integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If wood-based plate elements are fixed to the frame using adhesive only, then the flooring can be easily manufactured and installed, but the durability and structural stability deteriorate during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two different fixation methods (adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening with undetachable fasteners) into a single hybrid system. The adhesive provides continuous bonding across the plate surface while the undetachable fasteners provide discrete mechanical anchoring points, creating a synergistic effect that achieves both ease of installation and high durability during transportation.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixation system uses a composite approach by integrating two different bonding mechanisms (chemical adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening) into one unified system. This composite fixation method leverages the advantages of both approaches: the simplicity and coverage of adhesive application and the strength and reliability of mechanical fasteners.
2Stability of the object's composition
If wood-based plate elements are fixed using conventional fasteners, then the structural stability improves, but sound emission increases during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The undetachable fasteners serve as an intermediary element between the wood-based plates and the metal frame, providing mechanical stabilization while minimizing direct rigid contact that would generate sound. These specialized fasteners are designed to reduce vibration transmission and noise emission compared to conventional fasteners, while still maintaining structural stability.
3Strength
If plywood plates are secured with strong fastening methods, then the structural integrity enhances, but the complexity of the fixation system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixation system is segmented into two distinct functional components: adhesive bonding (providing continuous surface attachment) and undetachable fasteners (providing discrete mechanical anchoring). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, achieving high structural integrity while keeping the overall system relatively simple and manageable.
