Press-Type Locking Housing With Lever Release Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing housing devices for electronic components lack flexibility in operation, making it inconvenient to detach and reattach them for maintenance or replacement, as they typically require manual pulling and lack efficient locking and release mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A press-type locking and release structure is introduced, featuring a housing with lateral walls, elongated grooves, pivot holes, and a locking and release member with arms, resilient elements, and control elements, allowing for quick detachment and assembly via a lever principle, enabling easy maintenance and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual pulling is used to detach housing, then operation simplicity is maintained, but operational flexibility and efficiency are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The housing device employs a dynamic locking and release mechanism where the housing can be quickly detached from or attached to the casing through a pressing motion on the control element. This transforms the static manual pulling operation into a dynamic press-type operation, enabling rapid attachment and detachment while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking and release member is designed to automatically engage and disengage through the pressing action on the control element. The mechanism itself performs the locking and releasing functions without requiring external tools or complex manual manipulation, making the system self-sufficient and highly efficient.
2Productivity
If press-type locking mechanism is added, then detachment speed is improved, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The housing device is segmented into distinct functional components: the housing, the locking and release member with arms and control elements, and the resilient element. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, enabling rapid assembly and detachment while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking and release member serves multiple functions: it provides locking engagement through the arms, enables rapid release through the control element, and incorporates resilient elements for automatic engagement. This multi-functionality consolidates several operations into a single integrated mechanism, improving assembly speed without proportionally increasing structural complexity.
