Liner Anchoring Assembly for Faster Welding and Load Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anchoring assemblies for metal objects before applying a cured lining material in liquid form are time-consuming to mount, requiring multiple steps for welding and assembly.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a template with anchoring assembly cutouts to mark and mount anchoring assemblies quickly, with pre-connected anchor fins on an elongated mounting pin, and a ferrule to hold welding residue, allowing for efficient and even distribution of loads.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional multi-step welding and assembly methods are used to mount anchoring assemblies, then reliable load transfer is achieved, but mounting time is significantly increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the mounting pin, anchor fins, and ferrule into a single pre-assembled anchoring assembly unit. This integration eliminates the need for separate welding and assembly steps, allowing the entire anchoring assembly to be mounted in one operation while maintaining reliable load transfer through the integrated components.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring assembly is pre-assembled with the ferrule already attached to the mounting pin and anchor fins positioned in advance. This preliminary preparation of the complete anchoring unit before installation significantly reduces on-site mounting time while ensuring proper alignment and connection reliability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are assembled during mounting, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring assembly is segmented into distinct functional components (mounting pin, ferrule, anchor fins) that are pre-assembled into a modular unit. This segmentation allows the complete assembly to be adapted to different mounting locations and load requirements while simplifying the installation process to a single mounting operation.
