Motorcycle Clamp Mount With Knuckle Adjustment for Device Clearance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounts for handheld electronic devices on motorcycles lack flexibility and adjustability, making it difficult to securely and precisely position the device on the brake clutch clamp, often interfering with other motorcycle components.
Innovation Solution
A mount system with a pivot spacer, knuckle, and rotatable components that allow for multi-axis adjustment of the handheld electronic device's position, using spacers and bolts to secure to the brake clutch clamp, and a fastener to rigidly connect the pivot spacer and knuckle to the mount body, enabling precise positioning and clearance from other components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a simple mount structure is used to secure the handheld device to the brake clutch clamp, then the device can be mounted, but the positioning flexibility and adjustability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is divided into multiple independent adjustable components: a base plate for clamp attachment, a spacer for distance adjustment, a knuckle joint for angle adjustment, and a device holder for position adjustment. Each segment can be independently positioned and locked, providing comprehensive positioning flexibility while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The mount incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through rotatable knuckle joints and movable spacing elements that allow the device to be positioned at multiple angles and distances from the clamp. The adjustable spacer can be positioned at different locations, and the knuckle joint enables angular adjustment, transforming a static mount into a dynamically adjustable positioning system
2Volume of moving object
If the mount is positioned close to the clamp for compact installation, then space is saved, but interference with other motorcycle components occurs
Solution Approach 1:
An adjustable spacer element is introduced as an intermediary component between the base plate and the device holder. This spacer can be positioned at different distances from the clamp, acting as a mediator that provides the necessary clearance from other motorcycle components while maintaining a compact overall structure. The spacer's adjustable positioning allows optimization of the distance to avoid interference
3Manufacturing precision
If fixed positioning is used for the handheld device, then the mount structure is simple, but precise positioning is difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The mount provides preliminary positioning options through the adjustable spacer that can be set to different distances from the clamp before final device attachment. This preliminary adjustment of the spacing allows the user to establish the correct distance and angle beforehand, making precise final positioning easier and more accurate
Solution Approach 2:
The mount allows changing of positioning parameters through adjustable elements: the spacer distance can be varied to change the offset from the clamp, the knuckle joint angle can be adjusted to change the mounting angle, and the device holder position can be modified. These parameter changes enable precise positioning adaptation to different requirements
