Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional connecting devices for anti-falling devices experience significant wobbling and friction, leading to user discomfort and potential damage from bumping of multiple devices, which results in noise and structural issues.
Innovation Solution
A partitioned anti-falling connecting device with a frame divided by protruding division islands, a movable latch, and hoist rings that can switch between sections, reducing wobble and friction by restricting the hoist rings within specific sections and allowing adjustment based on gravity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If anti-falling devices are arranged on conventional connecting devices, then the devices can be used for hand operation purposes, but the anti-falling devices wobble greatly all around and cause user discomfort due to friction
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple sections by division islands, creating separate hoisting spaces. Each hoist ring is restricted to its own section, preventing cross-section wobble and friction. This segmentation isolates the anti-falling devices spatially, eliminating the harmful wobbling motion while preserving operational capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If two sets of anti-falling devices are arranged on the connecting device, then two-hand operation is enabled, but the devices bump with each other causing noise and potential structural damage
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple sections by division islands, creating separate hoisting spaces. Each hoist ring is restricted to its own section, preventing cross-section wobble and friction. This segmentation isolates the anti-falling devices spatially, eliminating the harmful wobbling motion while preserving operational capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The division island acts as an intermediary barrier between the two hoist rings. When one hoist ring moves or bumps, the division island absorbs and redirects the force, preventing direct contact between the two anti-falling devices. This intermediary structure eliminates noise and prevents structural damage while allowing both devices to function.
3Adaptability or versatility
If anti-falling devices are allowed to move freely on the connecting device, then operational flexibility is improved, but constant wobble and bumping occur leading to potential failure
Solution Approach 1:
The hoist rings are designed with dynamic characteristics - they can move freely within their designated hoisting spaces but are restricted from entering other sections by the division islands. This dynamic constraint allows operational flexibility within bounds while preventing harmful cross-section movements, balancing adaptability with reliability.

AI summary
A partitioned anti-falling connecting device includes a frame, a movable latch and a hoist ring. The frame has a hanging space with a gap defined between two ends thereof and at least a division island protrudingly arranged between the two ends thereof so as to divide the frame into at least a first section and a second section. The movable latch is arranged on the frame for opening and closing the gap. The hoist ring comprises a coupling portion for arranging an anti-falling device, wherein the top of the coupling portion has a loop hole corresponding to the frame to insert, such that the loop hole is in allowed to be slidingly arranged between the two ends of the frame and, when affected by gravity, to be restricted by the division island, such that the hoist ring is limited in the first section or the second section, wherein when the effect of gravity is overcome, the loop hole is allowed to be controlled to pass the division island, so as to allow the hoist ring to be optionally switched between the first section and the second section, such that the anti-falling device can be adjusted to the area and position that meet the operational need of the user the most.
