Modular Connector System for Structural Support Adaptability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current support structure systems for building construction lack flexibility and efficiency in assembly, requiring increased effort and time, especially when dealing with varying load conditions and dimensions.
Innovation Solution
A framework system comprising multiple connectors and carriers with strategically positioned bolts and holes allows for flexible assembly and additional stabilization without increasing assembly effort, enabling connectors to be attached at different heights and angles, and carriers to be connected with varying dimensions using standardized accessories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional support structure systems are used with fixed connectors and standardized holes, then manufacturing precision is maintained, but adaptability to different load conditions and dimensions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is divided into multiple functional zones with different hole patterns (first zone with first hole pattern, second zone with second hole pattern). This segmentation allows each zone to be optimized for specific load conditions while maintaining overall system adaptability without requiring complete redesign of the entire connector.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the connector are assigned different hole patterns and densities according to local load requirements. The first zone has a first hole pattern suited for specific loading conditions, while the second zone has a second hole pattern for different conditions, achieving local optimization without global complexity.
2Ease of operation
If multiple rows of holes are provided in carriers and connectors, then ease of operation and assembly flexibility are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The multiple rows of holes serve multiple functions: they enable connectors to be attached at different heights, accommodate various bolt configurations, and provide flexibility for different assembly scenarios. This multi-functionality increases ease of operation without requiring separate specialized connection systems for each application.
3Stability of the object's composition
If connectors are attached at the same level on carriers, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability to varying dimensional requirements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connector design allows dynamic adjustment of attachment positions. While connectors can be attached at the same level for maximum stability in standard configurations, the multiple hole rows enable vertical offsetting when dimensional adaptability is required, providing a dynamic response to varying project requirements.
