Noise Suppression Member Vibration-Resistant Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing noise suppression members may fail to maintain the magnetic core securely within the case during vibrations, leading to reduced effectiveness in environments with significant vibrations.
Innovation Solution
A noise suppression member with a case design featuring a locking mechanism comprising a claw and claw receiver, where the claw is engaged with the receiver to secure the case parts together, and a support receiver that prevents displacement of the movable portion to the second position, ensuring the magnetic core remains securely housed even under vibration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the case is designed with a locking mechanism that can be easily opened for maintenance, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates because vibrations may cause unintended opening
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism employs a movable portion that can be dynamically displaced between a first position (engaged state) and a second position (disengaged state). This dynamic design allows the case to be easily opened for maintenance when needed, while maintaining reliable locking during normal operation. The support insertion feature provides dynamic control by preventing displacement to the second position when the support is inserted, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability under vibration.
2Reliability
If the case is designed with a fixed locking mechanism to prevent vibration-induced opening, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the case cannot be easily opened for maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to automatically maintain its engaged state through the interaction between the movable portion and the support. When the support is inserted into the support receiver, it automatically prevents the movable portion from displacing to the disengaged position, providing self-service locking without requiring additional active components or complex control systems. This resolves the contradiction by achieving reliable automatic locking while preserving manual operability.
3Reliability
If the support is designed to permanently fix the locking mechanism in the engaged position, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the case cannot be opened for maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The support receiver is designed to receive the support in advance, which then preliminarily prevents the movable portion from displacing to the disengaged position. This preliminary anti-action ensures that vibrations cannot cause unintended opening, while the removable nature of the support allows the case to be opened for maintenance when needed. The support acts as a preliminary protective measure that can be removed when maintenance is required.

AI summary
A noise suppression member comprises a magnetic core and a case that houses the magnetic core therein. The case comprises a first housing and a second housing that form a housing space to house the magnetic core; a locking mechanism that allows the first housing and the second housing to be fixed to each other through engagement of a claw with a claw receiver; and a support receiver. The claw receiver comprises a movable portion displaceable to a first position and a second position, and the claw is released from the claw receiver when the movable portion is displaced to the second position. The movable portion is nondisplaceable to the second position when the support is inserted into the support receiver.
