Solution Overview
Problem
Existing riveting tools are cumbersome, bulky, and limited in application, making them inefficient for use with most nuts and requiring additional equipment, which increases time and difficulty in riveting tasks.
Innovation Solution
A multi-purpose and simple riveting tool comprising a male member, a female member, and at least one rotating device, where the male member has a fixing part with an accommodating groove and a riveting part with external threads, and the female member has an inner cavity that allows axial movement of the male member when the rotating device is activated.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a multi-purpose riveting tool is designed to apply to bolts with different purposes and sizes, then the versatility of the tool is improved, but the device becomes bulky and complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The riveting tool is designed with a universal female member that can accommodate different sizes and types of nuts through a standardized inner cavity design. The male member with threaded portion can engage with various nut configurations, allowing one tool to perform multiple riveting applications across different nut sizes and types without requiring separate specialized tools for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The tool employs a nested structure where the male member is inserted into the female member, and the rotating device is integrated within the assembly. The male member fits within the inner cavity of the female member, creating a compact nested configuration that reduces overall device bulk while maintaining functionality for various nut sizes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a riveting tool is designed with multiple functions and components, then the versatility is improved, but the tool becomes cumbersome and cannot be carried around
Solution Approach 1:
The riveting tool merges multiple functions into a single integrated device. The female member combines the riveting mechanism with the rotating device integration, eliminating the need for separate air pumps or multiple riveting tools. This consolidation reduces the overall weight and bulk while maintaining multi-purpose capability for different riveting applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating device is designed to be manually operable without requiring external air supply systems or power sources. The user directly operates the rotating device to drive the male member, eliminating the need for heavy air pumps or motorized components, thereby reducing device weight and improving portability for field use.
3Reliability
If traditional riveting equipment is used, then reliable riveting can be achieved, but expensive air pump and additional equipment are required
Solution Approach 1:
The design extracts and eliminates the need for external air pumps and additional supporting equipment from the traditional riveting system. The self-contained rotating device directly drives the male member through mechanical engagement with the female member, removing the complex air supply infrastructure while maintaining reliable riveting through direct mechanical force transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The riveting tool is designed as a self-service system where the rotating device directly engages with the male member through the female member's inner cavity. The system uses its own integrated components to generate and transmit the necessary force for riveting, without requiring external air pressure or additional equipment, thereby simplifying the overall equipment requirements while maintaining riveting reliability.
