Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If additional tensile load measuring devices are integrated into the suspension system to check loads at individual suspension points, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the tensile load measuring function directly into the load holder structure. The load holder (1) integrates a measuring module (40) that continuously monitors tensile loads, merging the previously separate measuring devices with the structural component. This integration eliminates the need for additional external measuring devices while maintaining continuous load monitoring capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The load holder is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously provides structural support, load distribution, and continuous tensile load measurement. By making the load holder universal in its functions, the patent eliminates the need for separate dedicated measuring devices, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining measurement precision.
2Measurement precision
If manual adjustment of wire ropes and chains is performed to achieve correct horizontal alignment and load distribution, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous feedback through the integrated measuring module (40) that constantly monitors tensile loads at individual suspension points. This real-time feedback enables immediate detection of load distribution deviations, allowing for quick adjustments rather than time-consuming manual trial-and-error procedures. The feedback mechanism accelerates the setup process while maintaining high load distribution accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The load holder with integrated measurement capability performs preliminary load distribution verification during the setup process itself, rather than requiring separate post-installation testing. This preliminary action allows adjustments to be made immediately during installation, reducing the overall time required for achieving correct load distribution.
3Device complexity
If the suspension system is set up without continuous monitoring, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability decreases due to undetected load distribution changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the safety monitoring function directly into the load holder structure through the integrated measuring module (40). This continuous monitoring capability is built into the structural component itself, providing reliable load distribution monitoring without requiring separate complex external monitoring systems. The integration ensures that safety monitoring is always active while minimizing additional device complexity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a load holder (1, 200) for a suspension system for suspending loads, comprising fastening means (30, 30') for detachably attaching a suspension module (10) and/or a suspension module (10) to a first end of the load holder (1, 200) and a load receiving device (60) at a second end of the load holder (1, 200), which is directed away from the first end along a longitudinal direction (L) of the load holder (1, 200). To reduce the risk of loads falling when using the suspension system and to simplify the correct setup of the suspension system, the load holder (1, 200) further comprises a leveling module (20, 20') for adjusting a length (L1, L2) of the load holder (1, 200) in the longitudinal direction (L) and a measuring module (40) for measuring a tensile load between the load receiving device (60) and the first end.
