Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current golf bag head frames and separators are not demountable and mountable, leading to decreased bonding strength over time due to material deformation from temperature variations and limiting user customization of compartment quantity, while also increasing transportation costs due to fixed assembly structures.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If the head frame and separator are made of plastic materials to achieve light weight, then the weight is reduced, but the bonding strength decreases greatly after demounting and remounting due to material deformation from temperature variations
Solution Approach 1:
The separator is divided into modular components that can be independently assembled and disassembled. The insertion structure is segmented into separate insertion portions on the separator and corresponding receiving structures on the head frame, allowing for repeated assembly and disassembly while maintaining bonding strength through precise geometric mating features rather than relying solely on material deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical parameters of the insertion structure by designing specific geometric features (slots, guide blocks, complementary shapes) that control the assembly process. These parameter changes ensure proper alignment and secure bonding without relying on material deformation, allowing the plastic components to be demounted and remounted multiple times while maintaining structural integrity.
2Strength
If the head frame and separator are assembled in a fixed all-in-one structure, then the bonding strength is maintained, but the quantity of compartments cannot be changed and transportation occupies too much space
Solution Approach 1:
The separator is segmented into modular units with standardized insertion portions that can be configured in different quantities and arrangements. This segmentation allows users to customize the number of compartments by assembling different numbers of separator modules into the head frame, while the standardized insertion structure ensures consistent bonding strength across all configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic reconfigurability to the previously fixed structure. The separator modules can be dynamically assembled and disassembled from the head frame using the insertion structure, allowing the compartment configuration to change based on user needs while maintaining secure bonding through the geometric mating features of the insertion portions and receiving structures.
3Ease of operation
If the separator is designed with demountable and mountable insertion structure, then user customization is enabled, but the bonding strength decreases greatly after repeated demounting and mounting due to scarfing slice wear and deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion structure is segmented into distinct components: insertion portions on the separator and corresponding receiving structures (slots and guide blocks) on the head frame. This segmentation allows for easy assembly and disassembly while the precise geometric features of each segment ensure consistent mating and bonding strength across multiple assembly cycles, preventing the degradation seen in integrated scarfing slice designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary geometric interface between the separator and head frame through the insertion structure. This intermediary interface, consisting of standardized slots and guide blocks, mediates the connection between components, ensuring reliable bonding and easy assembly/disassembly without the wear and deformation problems of integrated scarfing slices. The intermediary structure protects the bonding interfaces from direct stress and wear.

AI summary
The invention provides a head frame for golf bag and comprises an annular frame and a separator. At least one inserting part is fitted at inner side of the frame body with a slot with open side up and a guide block at one side of the slot. This separator has an annulus and a separating frame connected at the inner side of the annulus. The annulus can be inserted in the slot in a demountable way, while, the separating frame divides the inner side of annulus into several compartments for golf club placement. Whereby, users can select separators with different compartment quantities and assemble them on the head frame according to individual requirements for a good elasticity and light weight.
