Load Securing Profile With Closing Element For Through-Holes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing loading area profiles for securing loads face issues with bulk goods getting stuck in fastening points, leading to soiling and potential loss during transport, as well as difficulty in securing diverse types of goods.
Innovation Solution
A profile with a longitudinally extending base body featuring a connection section and a fastening section with through-holes, equipped with a closing element that can transition between a starting and fastening position, preventing soiling and loss by allowing secure attachment of load-securing devices while allowing flexible securing of various goods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If through-holes are provided in the fastening section for attaching load-securing devices, then the ease of operation is improved, but bulk goods can get stuck in the through-holes causing soiling and potential loss
Solution Approach 1:
The closing element is provided in advance to seal the through-holes before bulk goods are loaded. This preliminary action prevents goods from getting stuck and causing soiling, while still allowing the through-holes to be used later when needed for attaching load-securing devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The closing element is designed as a separate, removable component that can be taken out when needed. This allows the through-holes to remain sealed during bulk goods transport but be easily opened when load-securing devices need to be attached, resolving the contradiction between preventing soiling and enabling easy attachment.
2Ease of operation
If the loading platform has openings for attaching hooks, then the ease of operation is improved, but unintentional loss of bulk materials can occur during transport
Solution Approach 1:
The closing element seals the through-holes before bulk materials are loaded onto the platform, preventing material loss during transport. The closing element remains in place during transport and can be opened later when hooks need to be attached, thus preventing loss while maintaining ease of operation when needed.
3Adaptability or versatility
If eyelets or openings are provided on the loading platform for attaching tension straps, then the adaptability is improved, but the eyelets and openings can become dirty during use requiring cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The closing element is installed beforehand to seal the through-holes during bulk goods transport, preventing dirt and bulk materials from entering and soiling the openings. This eliminates or reduces cleaning requirements while maintaining the ability to attach tension straps when needed by simply opening the closing element.
