Mudguard Cable Fixing with Detachable Clamp
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mudguard arrangements for two-wheelers lack flexibility in accommodating multiple cables with varying cross-sections, as they typically feature closed cable channels that restrict the number and thickness of cables that can be inserted.
Innovation Solution
An open cable duct design with detachable clamp holders and clamps allows for improved manageability and flexibility, enabling cables to be easily inserted and removed, with U-shaped clamp mounts and hold-down devices ensuring secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a closed cable channel is used in the mudguard arrangement, then the cable is securely contained, but the flexibility and manageability of cable installation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The cable duct is designed with a detachable cover that can be opened and closed. This dynamic structure allows the cable duct to transition between a closed state (providing secure containment) and an open state (providing easy cable installation and removal). The cover can be detached to insert cables and then reattached to secure them, resolving the contradiction between containment and installation flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable duct is segmented into a body and a detachable cover. This segmentation allows the cover to be separated from the body during cable installation, providing ease of operation, while the cover can be reattached to provide secure containment. The detachable connection between the cover and body enables the system to switch between open and closed states as needed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a closed cable channel with defined insertion opening is used, then cable organization is maintained, but the adaptability to different cable numbers and thicknesses is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable cover creates a dynamic opening that can be adjusted or removed entirely, allowing the cable duct to adapt to different cable configurations. When the cover is open, cables of various numbers and thicknesses can be easily inserted and arranged. Once organized, the cover is closed to maintain the organized structure, thus achieving both stability and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover is designed to be detachable, allowing preliminary action of opening the duct before cable installation. This enables users to prepare the cable duct by opening the cover, insert the appropriate number and type of cables, organize them as needed, and then close the cover to maintain the organized structure for future use.
3Reliability
If cables are pushed through a closed channel, then secure containment is achieved, but the complexity and difficulty of cable installation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cable duct is segmented into a body and a detachable cover. This segmentation simplifies the installation process by allowing the cover to be removed, providing direct access to the cable duct interior. Cables can be easily placed into the duct without needing to be pushed through a closed channel, reducing installation complexity while maintaining containment when the cover is reattached.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic opening provided by the detachable cover transforms the installation process from pushing cables through a closed channel to simply placing them into an open duct. This dynamic structure reduces the complexity of cable installation while still providing secure containment when the cover is closed and latched into position.
