Jumper Board Springy Hook Lever Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional jumper boards require significant labor and time to mount or dismount face panels from the bracket, and existing designs with hook joints are inconvenient to handle and apply force to for disassembly.
Innovation Solution
The jumper board incorporates springy hooks on face panels that engage with a locating flange on the bracket, and levers pivotally mounted within the face panels to disengage the hooks, allowing easy disassembly without tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If face panels are fastened to the bracket with screws and nuts, then the connection is strong and reliable, but it takes much labor and time to mount and dismount the face panels
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is segmented into a springy hook on the face panel and a locating flange on the bracket, allowing independent engagement and disengagement of each face panel without affecting others
Solution Approach 2:
The springy hook provides dynamic engagement where the elastic deformation allows automatic locking when inserted and easy release when force is applied, transforming a static screw connection into a dynamic spring-based mechanism
