Miner Module Mounting Structure With Hook-and-Slot Rails
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for mounting modules in miners, such as computing power and power supply modules, using screws are complicated and time-consuming, especially when multiple screws are involved, which hinders efficient assembly.
Innovation Solution
A module mounting structure featuring slide rails with insertion notches on one module and hooks on the other, allowing modules to be fixed by aligning hooks into sliding grooves without requiring full rail movement, facilitated by hooks formed from metal shells.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws are used to mount modules, then the mounting is secure and reliable, but the mounting operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional screw-based mechanical fastening system with a hook-and-slot engagement system. The hook structure engages with the slot on the slide rail, eliminating the need for screws and screwdrivers. This substitution maintains mounting reliability while dramatically simplifying the mounting operation and reducing the number of fastening components required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and eliminates the screw fastening elements from the mounting system. By designing a self-engaging hook structure that directly interfaces with the slide rail slot, the invention removes the intermediate screw components, thereby simplifying the overall mounting structure and reducing the complexity of mounting operations.
2Reliability
If multiple screws are used to secure modules, then the mounting reliability improves, but the mounting duration increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the multi-screw fastening system with a single hook engagement mechanism. The hook structure can be installed by simply engaging it with the slot on the slide rail, eliminating the time-consuming process of inserting, tightening, and securing multiple screws. This substitution maintains secure mounting while dramatically reducing the time required for installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The hook structure is pre-formed and ready for immediate engagement with the slide rail slot. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for on-site assembly operations such as threading screws and tightening fasteners, thereby significantly reducing mounting duration while ensuring reliable connection.
3Reliability
If traditional screw mounting is used, then the modules can be securely fixed, but the mounting process does not facilitate quick installation and removal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the complex screw fastening system with a simple hook-and-slot engagement system. The hook structure can be quickly inserted into and removed from the slot on the slide rail by hand, eliminating the need for tools and complex manipulation. This substitution maintains secure fixing while dramatically improving the ease of operation for both installation and removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The hook structure is designed to be self-installing and self-securing. The hook automatically engages with the slot when positioned correctly, and can be easily disengaged by pulling it out. This self-service design eliminates the need for additional fastening operations or tools, making the mounting process simple and intuitive for operators.
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
This structure simplifies and speeds up the mounting process, saving time and effort, especially for heavy modules, by enabling quick and secure attachment through gravitational alignment of hooks into notches.
Implementation Method 1
when the hook and the insertion notch are staggered in position, the hook located in the sliding groove hooks onto the extension portion so as to achieve the mounting and fixing of the first module and the second module to each other
