Integrated Vehicle Bracket Structure for Simpler Module Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle electronic device brackets require multiple plates to be joined together, increasing production time and costs due to the increased number of parts and assembly man-hours.
Innovation Solution
A bracket design that utilizes a single metal plate with protruding support parts and integrated grounding terminals, allowing modules to be connected directly to the base, reducing the need for separate plates and simplifying the assembly process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If multiple plates are joined together to support electronic devices, then the structural stability and adaptability are improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate plates into a single integrated bracket structure that includes a base plate, support plate, and side plate formed as one piece. This merging eliminates the need for separate welding or fastening operations between multiple plates, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining the structural stability provided by the multi-plate configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple plates are joined together to accommodate different electronic devices, then the adaptability is improved, but the productivity decreases due to increased assembly man-hours
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated bracket design combines multiple functional plates into a single component that can accommodate various electronic devices through its multiple surfaces and mounting locations. The base plate provides primary support, the support plate extends vertical support, and the side plate provides lateral mounting surfaces, all in one piece. This eliminates multi-step assembly processes while maintaining the adaptability to configure different device arrangements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple plates are used to couple electronic devices, then the versatility is improved, but the loss of time increases due to additional joining processes
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is manufactured as a pre-assembled integrated component with all structural elements (base plate, support plate, side plate) already formed and positioned correctly during manufacturing. This preliminary action of creating the complete multi-plate structure as one piece eliminates the need for time-consuming joining operations during device assembly, reducing time loss while maintaining versatility.
