Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users, especially beginners or those with hand mobility issues, find it complex and time-consuming to adjust the tightness of binding belts in footwear and medical protective gear using conventional methods, which require manual knotting and tying.
Innovation Solution
A rope belt adjusting device comprising a driving member, wire winding member, and mounting base, where the driving member drives the wire winding member to rotate, allowing for one-handed tightening and loosening of the binding belt without the need for knotting, utilizing a coaxial configuration with an engaging circle element and elastic portion for secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional binding belt fixing method is used, then the binding belt can be securely fixed, but the adjustment process becomes complex and time-consuming for users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional manual knot-tying mechanical system with a winding mechanism consisting of a winding member, driving member, and elastic portion. The user simply pulls the binding belt to tighten it, and the winding mechanism automatically winds the excess belt and locks it in place, eliminating the need for complex knot-tying operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The binding belt adjustment system performs self-service through the automatic winding and locking mechanism. When the user pulls the binding belt, the system automatically winds the excess belt around the winding member and secures it using the elastic portion and driving member, without requiring user intervention for knot-tying or complex manipulation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual knotting method is used, then the binding belt can be adjusted to desired tightness, but the operation becomes difficult for users with hand mobility issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual knot-tying mechanical system with a winding mechanism consisting of a winding member, driving member, and elastic portion. The user simply pulls the binding belt to tighten it, and the winding mechanism automatically winds the excess belt and locks it in place, eliminating the need for complex knot-tying operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The binding belt adjustment system performs self-service through the automatic winding and locking mechanism. When the user pulls the binding belt, the system automatically winds the excess belt around the winding member and secures it using the elastic portion and driving member, without requiring user intervention for knot-tying or complex manipulation.
3Device complexity
If conventional binding belt method is used, then no additional components are needed, but the adjustment process becomes complex and requires multiple steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where the driving member is disposed inside the winding member, and the elastic portion is wound around the driving member. This nested arrangement consolidates multiple components into a compact integrated assembly, reducing overall device complexity while enabling automated adjustment functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the winding function, driving function, and locking function into a single integrated mechanism. The winding member, driving member, and elastic portion work together as a unified system, merging multiple functions that would otherwise require separate components and operations.
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
The device simplifies the adjustment process, allowing users to easily tighten or loosen the binding belt with one hand, reducing operational complexity and time, and is particularly beneficial for beginners or those with limited hand dexterity.
Implementation Method 1
a wire winding member (2), wherein the wire winding member is provided with a fixing portion (24) configured to fix a binding belt (4) and an elastic portion (21) configured to be connected with the driving member (1)... the elastic portion (21) is engaged with an engaging circle element (121)... the driving member (1) drives the wire winding member (2) to rotate

AI summary
A rope belt adjusting device and assembly. The rope belt adjusting device comprises: a driving member(1), a wire winding member(2) and a mounting base(3), wherein the driving member(1) and the wire winding member(2) are coaxially arranged, the driving member(1) is movably connected with the wire winding member(2), and both the driving member(1) and the wire winding member(2) are arranged in the mounting base(3); the driving member(1) drives the wire winding member(2) to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the mounting base(3); the wire winding member(2) is provided with a fixing portion(24) configured to fix a binding belt and an elastic portion(21) configured to be connected with the driving member(1), and the driving member(1) is provided thereon with an cirque engagement section(121) configured to be cooperated with the elastic portion(21). When a user performs fixing by the binding belt, the rope belt adjusting device can avoid the tying operation, and a rope belt can be in a tight state by rotatably operating the driving member(1) with only one hand; the rope belt is in a loosened state by disengaging the driving member(1) from the wire winding member(2), which is simple in operation, saves time and is convenient for use by beginners or users with inconvenient use of both hands.
