Insulation Holder Mounting Head for Fast Damage-Free Insertion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insulation nails and screws are time-consuming and costly to insert, and can damage insulation materials during installation, especially when used with low-density materials, due to their design and insertion requirements.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with a drive head that moves in a non-rotating motion, featuring a central opening with a threaded portion of at least 30 mm lead pitch, allowing for quick and reliable insertion of insulation holders into insulation materials without damaging them, enabling ergonomic upright operation and reducing insertion time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If insulation nails or screws are used to attach insulation panels, then the insulation panels can be securely attached to each other and to the foundation, but the insertion process is time-consuming and requires the user to bend down repeatedly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the insertion mechanism from manual hammering or screwing to a driven insertion system. The drive means applies controlled force to insert the insulation holder quickly and securely, eliminating the time-consuming manual operations while maintaining reliable attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting device incorporates a magazine that automatically feeds insulation holders to the drive means. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for the operator to manually pick and position each holder, significantly reducing insertion time while ensuring consistent attachment quality.
2Ease of manufacture
If insulation nails are inserted by hand or hammer, then they can be attached to insulation panels, but the barbs deform the insulation material which decreases holding force
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical insertion methods (hand pushing or hammering) with a driven insertion system. The drive means inserts the insulation holder in a controlled manner that prevents deformation of the insulation material, thereby maintaining or improving holding force while keeping the process simple.
3Reliability
If insulation screws are used to attach insulation to concrete, then secure attachment is achieved, but the threaded section may function as a drill and destroy the insulation material if not inserted with appropriate pressure and rotational speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the rotational screwing action with a linear driven insertion. The drive means pushes the insulation holder straight into the insulation material and concrete without rotation, eliminating the risk of the threaded section acting as a drill and destroying the insulation material, while still achieving secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the rotational component from the insertion process. By removing the rotational motion that causes the harmful drilling effect, the design achieves secure attachment to concrete without damaging the insulation material through inappropriate rotational forces.
4Reliability
If the complete screw must be screwed into the insulation, then secure attachment is achieved, but the insertion process becomes relatively slow and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the slow rotational screwing process with a fast linear driven insertion. The drive means quickly pushes the insulation holder into place without the time-consuming rotational motion, significantly increasing insertion speed while maintaining secure attachment through the driven insertion mechanism.

AI summary
Mounting device for inserting insulation holders into insulation material, where the mounting device comprises a drive head adapted to drive the insulation holder through a central opening of the head portion of the mounting device, where the central opening is provided with a threaded portion, where the lead pitch of the threaded portion is at least 30 millimetres. The advantage of the invention is that insulation holders can be inserted into insulation material in an easy and cost-effective way. An insulation holder can be driven completely through the central opening since the insulation holder does not have a protruding head. The insulation holder is provided with a thread corresponding to the thread of the central opening, such that the insulation holder is screwed into the insulation material.
