Innovation Solution
A primary piston design that integrates the spindle and nut of the brake pressure generator into recesses of the primary piston, reducing the overall length and optimizing the installation space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the brake pressure generator is designed with conventional separate components, then the structural integrity and functionality are maintained, but the overall length and installation space requirement increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the spindle and nut components directly into the primary piston structure. The spindle is integrated as an axial extension of the primary piston, while the nut is formed as a recess in the primary piston. This combining of previously separate components into a single integrated unit reduces the overall length and installation space of the brake pressure generator.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nesting by placing the nut recess within the primary piston structure, allowing the nut to be formed as a cavity inside the piston body. This nested arrangement enables the spindle and nut to occupy space within the primary piston rather than extending outward, thereby reducing the overall dimensional footprint of the brake pressure generator.
2Length of moving object
If the primary piston is designed with integrated spindle and nut recesses, then the overall length of the brake pressure generator is reduced, but the manufacturing complexity of the primary piston increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of the spindle and nut into the primary piston creates a combined component that reduces overall length. The spindle is formed as an axial extension and the nut as a recess, both integrated into the piston body during manufacturing, eliminating the need for separate assembly of these components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the primary piston by incorporating axial and radial recesses. These parameter changes allow the spindle and nut to be integrated into the piston structure, reducing the overall length while the recesses are formed using standard manufacturing processes such as machining or molding.
