Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hammering devices with side grip configurations experience reduced hammering effect due to off-vertical placement of vibrators, leading to uneven force distribution and potential object turning during hammering.

Innovation Solution

The second frame is oriented both backwards and downwards, allowing articulation points of jaw bars to be centered relative to vibrators and suspension means, ensuring that gripping jaws are aligned with the hammering force line, eliminating inclined forces and maintaining the hammering device on the intended line.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the vibrators are placed deviating from the vertical hammering line to enable side grip hammering, then side grip hammering is achieved, but the hammering effect is reduced and loads are imposed on the device construction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveside grip hammering capabilityVSAvoidhammering effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a second frame oriented both backwards and downwards, creating a three-dimensional spatial arrangement. This allows the articulation points of the jaw bars to be positioned such that the gripping jaws locate centric in relation to the vibrators and suspension means, effectively adding a vertical dimension to the side grip configuration and restoring centric hammering alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the vibrators are placed deviating from the vertical hammering line, then side grip hammering is enabled, but inclined directed forces are produced which try to turn the gripping jaws during hammering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveside grip hammering capabilityVSAvoidgrip stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By orienting the second frame both backwards and downwards, the patent creates a spatial configuration where the gripping jaws can engage the object from the side while the force transmission path remains vertical and centric. This three-dimensional arrangement eliminates the production of inclined directed forces that would otherwise cause the gripping jaws to turn during hammering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Force

If the second frame is oriented vertically, then the hammering force is transmitted directly, but the articulation points of the jaw bars cannot be positioned centric relative to the vibrators for side grip applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehammering force transmissionVSAvoidside grip capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by introducing a dual-orientation second frame that extends both backwards and downwards. This configuration allows the system to maintain vertical force transmission through the suspension means and vibrators while simultaneously enabling the jaw bars to articulate at positions that allow centric gripping for side grip applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A hammering device enabling an increased hammering effect to an object is provided. The device has a fork-shaped first frame having series of suspension organs on the inner surfaces of the forks. The hammering device has a second frame that forms a frame for two vibrators and includes a gripping jaw locating on movable turning bars. The vibrators are coupled to the first frame by the suspension organs and locate on both sides of the gripping jaws.
