Insert Nut Thread-Grip Fixture Without Magnetization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for fixing insert nuts using magnetization reduce the rigidity of the nuts, necessitating a non-magnetization solution for stable fixation.
Innovation Solution
An insert nut fixing device with a rod-shaped body and elastic movement means, featuring a holding jaw forming member and elastic movement mechanism, securely fixes the nut without magnetization by engaging with the nut's threads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If magnetization is used to fix the insert nut, then the insert nut can be held and fixed during movement and insertion, but the rigidity of the insert nut is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the magnetic field-based fixation system with a mechanical engagement system. The insertion groove engages with the insert nut's threaded structure through physical contact, eliminating the need for magnetization while maintaining secure fixation during movement and insertion operations
Solution Approach 2:
The insertion groove acts as an intermediary mechanical structure that mediates between the robot's gripping mechanism and the insert nut. This intermediate component enables force transmission and secure holding through mechanical engagement rather than direct magnetic attraction, preserving the nut's structural integrity
