Multi-Portion Fastening Member for Quick Multi-Object Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fastening methods, such as screws, complicate the assembly and disassembly processes of multiple objects due to their fixed connections, making it difficult to achieve repeated quick coupling and separation.
Innovation Solution
A fastening member with multiple fastening portions is designed to facilitate the coupling or separation of at least three objects. Each fastening portion can be connected to a different object with varying fastening directions and positions, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly using rivet, fastening, welding, or other connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional screw fastening is used to couple multiple objects, then strong fixed connection is achieved, but assembly and disassembly processes become complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening member is divided into multiple independent fastening portions (first, second, third fastening portions) that can independently engage with different objects. Each fastening portion has its own fastening connection direction and position, allowing simultaneous coupling of multiple objects without requiring complex sequential screw operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening member serves multiple functions by providing both fastening portions for coupling objects to each other and assembly portions for assembling to additional objects. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate fastening components for different coupling scenarios.
2Reliability
If multiple screws are used to fasten at least three objects, then secure coupling is achieved, but the assembly process becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple fastening functions are merged into a single integrated fastening member. The first, second, and third fastening portions are combined in one component, along with assembly portions for additional objects. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the assembly process while maintaining reliable coupling of multiple objects.
3Strength
If fixed screw connection is used, then strong bonding between objects is achieved, but repeated quick coupling and separation cannot be accomplished
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening member enables dynamic coupling and decoupling operations. The fastening portions are designed to allow quick engagement and disengagement while maintaining strong bonding during the coupled state. This dynamic capability supports repeated quick coupling and separation operations without compromising bonding strength.

AI summary
A fastening member with a plurality of fastening portions includes two or more fastening portions. The fastening portions are configured to be fastening connected to a first object or to be fastening connected to a second object, and have the same or different fastening connection directions or the same or different fastening connection positions. Thus, the fastening member may be disposed at a third object, and be fastening connected to the first object and the second object by the fastening portions, respectively, so as to complete coupling and separation of at three objects, achieving the effect of repeated quick coupling and separation.
