Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wiper assembly devices tend to detach easily due to transverse mobility of the swing arm, leading to accidental disengagement and detachment during use.

Innovation Solution

A rocker-type assembly device featuring a wiper fastening base with a shaft and buckling portion, a connection base with a shaft groove for rocker-like movement, and a control member with a buckling body that engages and disengages with the buckling portion, utilizing restraining slots to limit the swing arm's movement and prevent detachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the swing arm is made transversely movable for normal operation, then the wiper can function properly, but the swing arm becomes prone to accidental detachment when the positioning member breaks or malfunctions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiper functionalityVSAvoidanti-detachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection base is designed to swing in a rocker-like manner about the shaft as a pivot, transforming the static connection into a dynamic one that requires active movement for assembly and disassembly. This dynamic mechanism ensures the wiper remains securely fastened during normal operation while allowing controlled detachment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The control member changes the positional parameter of the buckling body relative to the buckling portion through rocker-like swinging movement. By changing the position parameter from engaged to disengaged state, the system achieves secure fastening during operation and controlled detachment when the control member is actuated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If a simple longitudinal assembly and transverse positioning mechanism is used, then the assembly process is simple, but the wiper tends to become detached during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection base swings in a rocker-like manner about the shaft as a pivot relative to the wiper fastening base. This dynamic rocking mechanism provides inherent stability during operation while allowing controlled assembly and disassembly, resolving the contradiction between simple assembly and reliable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The control member and connection base are combined as an integrated assembly that moves together in rocker-like motion. This merging of components ensures that the control member effectively drives the buckling body to engage or disengage from the buckling portion, providing both simple operation and reliable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the control member is moved with respect to the connection base to block the swing arm in another direction, then accidental detachment is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-detachment protectionVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control member is integrated with the connection base and swings together with it in a rocker-like manner. This dynamic integration allows the control member to effectively block the swing arm in the direction opposite to the first direction, preventing accidental detachment while maintaining relatively simple device structure through the unified rocking motion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
