Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional racks with offload mechanisms struggle with limited displacement of hard disks or circuit boards due to rack partitions, causing difficulty and inconvenience in accessing these components.

Innovation Solution

A pushing auxiliary device comprising a body part and a screw body, which allows for movable combination and screwing with a nut body to facilitate easy movement and separation of objects, including features like movable parts, elastic elements, and orbital spaces for rotational movement, enabling simple operation and labor-saving convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional offload mechanism is used, then hard disk or circuit board can be separated from rack, but displacement distance is limited causing difficult access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess convenienceVSAvoiddisplacement distance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic mechanisms including movable body parts, elastic elements that provide flexible movement, and orbital spaces that enable rotational movement. These dynamic features allow the pushing auxiliary to adapt its movement path and distance, transforming the rigid limited displacement of traditional mechanisms into a flexible system that can achieve greater displacement while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If rack partition is present, then devices are organized, but access to hard disk or circuit board becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverack organizationVSAvoidaccess convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The pushing auxiliary acts as an intermediary device between the user and the hard disk or circuit board within the rack. It features a body part that can be movably combined with the target object, allowing users to access and manipulate components without directly reaching into the constrained rack space. The elastic elements and orbital spaces enable this intermediary mechanism to navigate around rack partitions while maintaining stable organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If screw body is screwed with nut body, then object can be driven to move, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into integrated components. The body part combines pushing, moving, and separating functions in a single structure. The screw body and nut body are integrated with the body part through movable combinations, allowing the screwing action to directly drive the object movement without requiring separate mechanisms. This merging reduces operation complexity despite the presence of screwing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

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 easy handling and convenient operation by allowing objects like circuit boards and hard disks to be easily moved and separated from racks, reducing labor requirements and improving accessibility.

Implementation Method 1

there is an elastic element between the screw body and the body part, the elastic element makes the screw body carry out an elastic motion

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 2

the screw body is screwed with a nut body of another object for driving the abutting part to abut against an abutted body, in order to drive the object to move

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectScrew mechanism: Screw

Implementation Method 3

there is an orbital space, the screw body is movably disposed in the orbital space, so that the orbital space acts as a floating space of the screw body, allowing the screw body to screw in the orbital space of the body part to bring the body part to rotate

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectRotational movement:
