Magnetic Leap Block Mounting for Automatic Direction Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for mounting a leap block are inconvenient and prone to user error, particularly due to the need for manual adjustment of the mounting direction and potential contamination of adhesive materials, which can lead to incorrect alignment and reduced adhesive strength.
Innovation Solution
A leap block mounting device featuring a rotatable block stand with a magnetic coupling system that automatically aligns and secures the leap block in the correct direction, utilizing a first magnetic body on the leap block and a second magnetic body on the mounting unit to ensure proper orientation without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual mounting method is used, then user can control mounting process, but mounting direction adjustment is inconvenient and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The leap block automatically adjusts its own mounting direction through magnetic attraction to the marker unit, eliminating the need for manual direction adjustment by the user. The block self-aligns with the correct orientation through the magnetic field interaction between the magnetic body on the block and the marker unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical adjustment process is replaced by a magnetic field-based automatic alignment system. Instead of relying on user manual positioning, the magnetic attraction force automatically orients the leap block in the correct mounting direction.
2Productivity
If manual mounting from below to above is used, then mounting process can be completed, but adhesive portion adheres to hands and becomes contaminated
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting direction is inverted from the conventional bottom-to-top approach to a top-to-bottom approach. The leap block is mounted by moving it downward onto the mounting unit, which prevents the adhesive portion from contacting the user's hands and eliminates contamination.
3Manufacturing precision
If stand with directional fitting is used, then leap block can be fitted only in certain direction, but custom-made components are required and user must still adjust direction
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting unit is designed with universal compatibility to work with standard leap blocks while incorporating the magnetic marker unit for automatic alignment. This eliminates the need for custom-made directional stands while maintaining precise mounting direction control through the magnetic attraction mechanism.

AI summary
A device for mounting a leap block capable of automatically adjusting the mounting direction of the leap block comprises a block stand fixedly mounted to one end of a blocking device frame and configured to support a leap block so that the leap block is rotatable in a horizontal direction; the leap block in which a support rotatably supported by the block stand is formed in the center, and a first magnetic body is mounted in one direction; and a leap block mounting unit to which a second magnetic body that couples with the first magnetic body by magnetic force is mounted in one direction, and which rotates in the horizontal direction and couples with the leap block in a fixed direction.
