Reversible Immobilization System for Prefabricated Wall Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing transport devices for prefabricated walls require manual actuation of multiple threaded nuts to immobilize and release holding means, which is tedious and restrictive, necessitating the development of a more efficient immobilization system.
Innovation Solution
A reversible immobilization system featuring a base and plates with clamping means that allow immobilization and release through displacement of the base, eliminating the need for manual actuation of individual nuts by using a lever or actuating means to control the movement and locking of the holding means.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual actuation of multiple threaded nuts is used to immobilize holding means, then the holding means can be securely fixed, but the operation becomes tedious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple independent nut actuation operations into a single base displacement operation. The base simultaneously actuates all clamping mechanisms through its movement, merging multiple discrete actions into one unified operation that secures multiple holding means at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The base serves multiple functions: it supports the holding means, acts as the actuating mechanism for all clamping operations, and provides the immobilization function. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate actuation tools and operations for each holding means.
2Reliability
If multiple threaded nuts are used to secure holding means, then reliable immobilization is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the actuation function from individual nut operations and consolidates it into the base component. By removing the need for separate actuation mechanisms for each holding means and integrating the function into the base, the overall device complexity is reduced while maintaining immobilization reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The base is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously serves as support structure, actuating mechanism, and immobilization device. This universal design replaces multiple specialized components (multiple nuts, multiple actuation points) with a single integrated system.
3Measurement precision
If individual actuation tools are required for each nut, then precise control is possible, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual actuation operations into a single base displacement operation. The operator performs one simple action (moving the base) that simultaneously controls all holding means positions, greatly improving ease of operation while maintaining precise control through the mechanical linkage.
Solution Approach 2:
The base acts as an intermediary mechanism that translates a single operator action into coordinated movement of multiple holding means. This intermediary function simplifies the operator's task while maintaining precise control over each holding means through the mechanical coupling.
