Quick-Connection Lifter Bracket Anchoring Suspension Bracket
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lifter devices for vehicles struggle with ease of assembly and compatibility with various suspension configurations, often requiring complex connections to the suspension bolt, which can lead to detachment under stress or impact, causing damage.
Innovation Solution
A lifter device designed to anchor to the front plate of the suspension bracket, utilizing external and internal supporting elements that align with existing openings on the suspension bracket, allowing for quick and secure connection without needing to couple to the suspension bolt, with optional regulating elements to prevent movement and stress-induced uncoupling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lifter device is connected to the suspension bolt (head, nut or bushings), then the connection can be made to existing suspension components, but the assembly becomes too complex for some configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The lifter device is divided into separate components: a lifter bracket that connects to the suspension bracket through openings, and a separate coupling mechanism. This segmentation allows the device to adapt to different suspension configurations without requiring complex integration with suspension bolts, nuts or bushings.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a suspension bracket with openings as an intermediary connection point between the lifter device and the vehicle suspension system. This intermediary structure provides a standardized interface that simplifies connection while maintaining compatibility with various suspension configurations.
2Ease of operation
If the lifter device uses a simple connection method, then the assembly is easy and quick, but the connection may detach under stress or impact
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system uses multiple dimensions of support: external supporting elements that rest on the outer surface of the suspension bracket front plate, and internal supporting elements that rest on the inner surface. This multi-dimensional approach provides both ease of assembly and high reliability under stress and impact.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines multiple supporting functions into a single integrated connection system. The external supporting elements, internal supporting elements, and anchoring elements work together as a unified structure that provides both simple assembly and reliable stress resistance.
3Productivity
If the lifter device is designed for quick connection without handling suspension elements, then the assembly speed increases, but the connection rigidity may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The suspension bracket is pre-designed with openings in its front plate that align with openings in the lifter bracket. This preliminary preparation allows for rapid connection without the need to handle or modify suspension elements, while the precise alignment ensures rigid, stable connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The lifter bracket opening pattern is designed to copy or match the opening pattern of the suspension bracket front plate. This copying approach enables quick alignment and connection while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for reliable operation.
