Solution Overview

Problem

The existing screwdriver head mounting structures have low locating accuracy, which affects the precision and reliability of screwdriver operations in industrial assembling and disassembling processes.

Innovation Solution

A screwdriver head mounting structure that includes a mounting base, a latching member, an elastic member, and a fixing member, where the latching member is detachably assembled to the mounting base via the elastic member and fixing member, providing a secure and adjustable mechanism for mounting and detaching the screwdriver head with improved accuracy and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a flexible structure is used for mounting the screwdriver head, then the ease of operation is improved, but the locating accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidlocating accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is divided into separate functional components: a mounting base with positioning features, a screwdriver head with corresponding mounting holes, and fastening elements. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the base provides rigid positioning accuracy while the head maintains flexibility in attachment methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Positioning pins or locators act as intermediary elements between the mounting base and screwdriver head. These intermediaries ensure precise alignment and locating accuracy while allowing the overall structure to maintain operational flexibility through removable connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a removable mounting structure is used, then the adaptability is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to potential accidental disengagement

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure employs dynamic fastening mechanisms such as spring-loaded clips or snap-fit connections that automatically engage and lock the screwdriver head to the mounting base. These dynamic elements provide secure retention during operation while allowing easy removal when needed, balancing adaptability with reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The design incorporates retention features like lugs, clips, or interference fits that prevent accidental disengagement before it can occur during use. These preventive measures ensure the screwdriver head remains securely mounted during operation while maintaining the ability to be intentionally removed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

A screwdriver head mounting structure includes a mounting base, a screwdriver head, a latching member and an elastic member. The mounting base defines a mounting hole and an eccentric latching hole communicating with and positioned eccentric to the mounting hole. The screwdriver head is detachably assembled to the mounting base. The screwdriver head has a latching end inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting base. The latching member is releasably and adjustably assembled to the mounting base together with the elastic member. The latching member passes through the eccentric latching hole and latches with the latching end of the screwdriver head.
