Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing installation tools for connecting electrical wires require a large impact force, often using detonators which complicate the structure, increase safety risks, and complicate transportation and storage due to the need for safety devices and complex handling procedures.
Innovation Solution
An installation tool with a body, holding head, power lever, and hammering tool that exerts an impact force to insert a wedge block into a C-type clamp, using a compression spring for pre-holding and a hammering tool for manual impact, eliminating the need for detonators and simplifying the structure and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a detonator is used to provide impact force for inserting the wedge block, then the required impact force is achieved, but the device complexity increases due to safety devices and the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex handling procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the detonator and safety device from the installation tool, extracting the dangerous components while maintaining the impact function through a simplified mechanical hammering mechanism. The holder is designed to be manually hammered directly, eliminating the need for explosive charges and associated safety systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The installation tool is designed to be self-sufficient without requiring external detonators or complex safety devices. The holder and installation tool work together as a simple manual system where the user directly applies impact force, making the system self-service and eliminating dependency on dangerous external components.
2Force

3Force
If a detonator is used for inserting the wedge block, then the required impact force is achieved, but transportation and storage become difficult due to safety requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the detonator and safety device from the installation tool, extracting the dangerous components while maintaining the impact function through a simplified mechanical hammering mechanism. The holder is designed to be manually hammered directly, eliminating the need for explosive charges and associated safety systems.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The tool safely and efficiently inserts the wedge block into the C-type clamp, simplifying the installation process, reducing safety hazards, and facilitating easier transportation and storage by using a manual impact mechanism instead of detonators.
Implementation Method 1
a compression spring configured to exert a push force to push the first work piece into the second work piece so that the first work piece is pre-held in the fitting hole of the second work piece
Implementation Method 2
a hammering tool configured to hammer the power lever to exert an impact force on the power lever, the power lever pushing the first work piece in the longitudinal direction under the impact force to forcibly insert the first work piece into the fitting hole of the second work piece

AI summary
An installation tool for forcibly inserting a first work piece into a fitting hole of a second work piece comprises a body, a holding head, a power lever, and a hammering tool. The body has a front end and a rear end opposite the front end in a longitudinal direction. The holding head is connected to the front end of the body and configured to hold the second work piece. The power lever is movably mounted on the body and extends in the longitudinal direction. The hammering tool is configured to hammer the power lever to exert an impact force on the power lever, the power lever pushing the first work piece in the longitudinal direction under the impact force to forcibly insert the first work piece into the fitting hole of the second work piece.
