Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pressing tools are limited in applicability as they require a specific configuration to fit each workpiece, necessitating multiple tools for different workpiece structures.
Innovation Solution
A pressing tool with a first and second jaw, featuring a detachable positioning portion that can be swapped for different workpieces, allowing the tool to accommodate various workpiece types by rotating the jaws and using interchangeable positioning structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a pressing tool is designed to fit a specific workpiece configuration, then the pressing precision is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing tool is divided into a base structure and interchangeable positioning portions. The positioning portion can be detached and replaced based on different workpiece configurations, allowing the tool to maintain high pressing precision for each specific workpiece type while adapting to various workpiece types through module replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The base structure of the pressing tool is designed with universal features that can accommodate multiple positioning portions. The positioning portion includes a positioning plate with positioning holes and a pressing plate with pressing holes, both featuring universal connection interfaces that allow the same base structure to work with different positioning portions for various workpiece types.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple specialized pressing tools are used for different workpieces, then the pressing precision for each workpiece type is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple specialized pressing tools are merged into a single multi-functional pressing tool by integrating interchangeable positioning portions with a universal base structure. This allows different positioning portions to be attached to the same base structure, reducing the number of tools needed while maintaining pressing precision for various workpiece types.
Solution Approach 2:
The base structure is designed with universal connection features including a connection plate with connection holes that can accommodate multiple positioning portions. This universal design allows one base structure to serve multiple functions by simply changing the positioning portion, thereby reducing overall device complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple specialized pressing tools are used for different workpieces, then the pressing precision for each workpiece type is improved, but the loss of time for tool selection and replacement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing tool is segmented into a reusable base structure and interchangeable positioning portions. The positioning portion includes standardized components like positioning plates with positioning holes and pressing plates with pressing holes that can be quickly attached and detached from the base structure, minimizing tool change time while maintaining precision.
Solution Approach 2:
Different positioning portions are prepared in advance for different workpiece types. The positioning portion includes pre-configured positioning holes and pressing holes that match specific workpiece configurations. By having these pre-prepared modules, the operator can quickly select and attach the appropriate positioning portion without time-consuming adjustments.

AI summary
The present application relates to a pressing device, and more particularly to a pressing tool for pressing a first workpiece against a second workpiece. The pressing tool includes a first jaw and a second jaw rotatably connected to the first jaw, one end of the first jaw being formed with a first pressing end, the first pressing end including a pressing post and a fixing post arranged on the pressing post, the fixing post being used for positioning the first workpiece, and the pressing post being used for pressing the first workpiece against the second workpiece. One end of the second jaw is formed with a second pressing end, a position of the second pressing end is directly opposite to a position of the first pressing end, and the second pressing end includes a first positioning structure; and the pressing tool further includes a positioning portion.
