Remote Brake Reservoir Mounting for Single-Operator Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of a remote reservoir in a vehicle's limited space is challenging, requiring multiple operators to secure it with bolts and nuts.
Innovation Solution
A remote reservoir design featuring a main mounting part and an auxiliary mounting part allows single-operator installation, with the main part being bolted to a vertical wall and the auxiliary part using a column-shaped body and grooves or protrusions to secure the reservoir to a vehicle's structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the remote reservoir is installed using bolts and nuts to ensure secure mounting, then the reliability of the mounting is improved, but at least two operators are required which reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part is divided into a main mounting part and an auxiliary mounting part. The main mounting part provides primary secure mounting using bolts and nuts for reliability, while the auxiliary mounting part enables temporary coupling and positioning. This segmentation allows one operator to perform the entire installation process without requiring multiple operators, thus resolving the contradiction between mounting reliability and ease of operation.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the remote reservoir is mounted directly to the vehicle structure, then the mounting stability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional mounting components
Solution Approach 1:
The main mounting part and auxiliary mounting part are integrated into a single unified mounting structure that is coupled to the vehicle body. This merging approach provides both temporary coupling capability and secure mounting function without requiring separate complex mounting systems, thus achieving mounting stability while minimizing device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the remote reservoir is separated from the brake module to fit limited space, then the adaptability to vehicle layout is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to more complex installation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary mounting part enables preliminary positioning and temporary coupling of the remote reservoir to the vehicle body before the main mounting part is fully secured. This preliminary action allows the reservoir to be easily positioned in limited spaces and provides a stable base for subsequent secure mounting, improving both adaptability to vehicle layout and ease of operation through simplified installation steps.
