Lateral Pull Rod Locking Mechanism for Fast Steel Tube Securing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional steel pipe support and transportation systems require complex and time-consuming fastening processes, which are labor-intensive and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A lateral pull rod mechanism with a pull rod, upper and lower connecting plates, intermediate connecting block, threaded section, fastening nut, anti-disengaging portion, and lateral stopping plate, allowing for lateral placement and easy locking of the pull rod, eliminating the need for precise alignment and tool usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional fastening processes are used to secure steel pipes during transportation, then the steel pipes can be securely fastened, but the fastening process becomes complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is divided into modular components: support frames with integrated clamping mechanisms, adjustable clamps, and connection elements. Each component performs a specific function, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining secure fastening of steel pipes during transportation
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening mechanism incorporates adjustable and movable elements that can be quickly positioned and locked into place. The dynamic design allows operators to rapidly adjust clamp positions and secure pipes without complex alignment procedures, significantly reducing fastening time while maintaining reliability
2Reliability
If conventional fastening procedures are followed, then steel pipes can be secured, but the operation becomes complicated and requires great effort
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system incorporates self-aligning features and self-locking mechanisms that automatically guide components into their correct positions during assembly. The design eliminates the need for precise manual alignment and reduces the number of manual adjustment steps required, making the operation simpler and less labor-intensive while maintaining secure fastening
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening mechanism uses nested components where smaller elements fit within larger structures, allowing for compact storage and simplified assembly. The hierarchical arrangement of clamps, frames, and connection elements enables intuitive assembly without complex procedures, reducing operational complexity while ensuring reliable fastening
