Pole Mounting Seat for Telescopic Height and Load Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support structures for air conditioning and refrigeration installations face challenges in accommodating diverse pole types, particularly in terms of load-bearing capacity and height adjustment, as telescopic poles have smaller cross-sections and are less suited for heavy loads, while standard poles with larger cross-sections do not offer easy height adjustment.
Innovation Solution
A support kit featuring a support base with a square mounting seat and a coaxially connected nut seat, allowing for both square section hollow profile and telescopic pole configurations, enabling versatile pole attachment through interference fitting or screwing, respectively, to accommodate various pole types and sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a telescopic pole structure is used for height adjustment, then ease of operation is improved, but load-bearing capacity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting seat is designed to accommodate both telescopic poles (for height adjustment) and solid profile poles (for high load-bearing capacity) through a unified interference fit mechanism. The mounting seat includes a threaded hole that works with both pole types, allowing the same base structure to support diverse pole configurations based on different operational requirements.
2Strength
If a solid profile pole with large cross-section is used for high load-bearing capacity, then strength is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting seat incorporates a threaded hole positioned eccentrically relative to the pole's central axis. This local structural feature enables solid profile poles with larger cross-sections to be securely mounted through the interference fit mechanism, while the threaded connection provides the necessary adaptability for various pole dimensions and types.
3Device complexity
If a single mounting seat design is used for both pole types, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting seat utilizes an interference fit mechanism where the pole's outer diameter is slightly larger than the mounting seat's inner diameter, creating a press-fit connection. The threaded hole is positioned eccentrically to accommodate different pole types. This approach reduces device complexity by using a single mounting seat design while managing manufacturing precision through standardized tolerance ranges for the interference fit dimensions.
