Pull-out aiding device and chassis-wall module with pull-out aiding function
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional chassis unloading mechanisms can only move hard disks or circuit boards by a small distance, making it difficult to easily remove them due to partitioning walls and other apparatus within the chassis.
Innovation Solution
A pull-out aiding device with a pulling member and handle member, featuring pivot sections, abutting sections, and a releasable fastening element, allows for easy operation to pull out apparatus by pivoting between closed and pulled-out positions, with a shock-absorbing member to prevent impact and an elastic element for automatic return.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional unloading mechanism is used, then the hard disk or circuit board can be separated from the connection port, but the movement distance is limited to 3-5 mm making it difficult to remove due to partitioning walls
Solution Approach 1:
The pull-out aiding device transforms the static unloading mechanism into a dynamic system with movable components. The pulling member can move between a retracted position and an extended position, allowing the apparatus to be pulled out beyond the limited 3-5mm range of conventional mechanisms. This dynamic movement enables the apparatus to clear the partitioning walls and be easily removed from the chassis.
2Length of moving object
If the unloading mechanism moves the hard disk by a small distance, then the connection port separation is achieved, but the partitioning walls hinder easy removal
Solution Approach 1:
The pull-out aiding device acts as an intermediary mechanism between the unloading mechanism and the apparatus. It provides an extended pulling action that mediates the transition from the initial 3-5mm separation to full removal, allowing the apparatus to clear the partitioning walls that would otherwise hinder easy removal.
3Ease of operation
If a pull-out aiding device with extended movement is used, then easy removal is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pull-out aiding device is designed with nested components where the pulling member can be stored within or alongside the handle member when not in use. This nesting approach allows the extended functionality to be integrated into a compact form factor, reducing the apparent device complexity while maintaining the ease of removal benefit.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient and effortless removal of apparatus from the chassis by increasing the distance of movement and incorporating safety features to prevent damage, facilitating easy access and handling.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic element, which is fitted on the shaft, the pulling member or the handle member to elastically press against the pulling member or the handle member
Implementation Method 2
a shock-absorbing member, which is disposed on one side of the handle member facing toward the corresponding apparatus

AI summary
A pull-out aiding device is configured for mounting on an object, in which a corresponding apparatus is mounted. The pull-out aiding device includes a pulling member and a handle member. The pulling member includes a first pivot section and an abutting section for abutting against the corresponding apparatus to move the latter forward. The handle member includes a second pivot section and an operating section. The second pivot section is pivotally connected to the first pivot section, such that the handle member is turnable about the second pivot section relative to the pulling member and brings the latter to move forward.
