Security Door Breach Training System Using Replaceable Components
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Public-safety and military personnel face challenges in training for forced entry into structures with security doors, as existing training methods are costly and inefficient, requiring destruction of actual doors and lacking realism.
Innovation Solution
A door breach training system that replicates a security door scenario using a frame member, elongate members, clevis members, retention bars, and retaining pins, allowing trainees to simulate the breach of a burglar bar door in a cost-effective and repeatable manner, with adjustable training parameters to simulate different bolt lengths and breach resistances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If actual security doors are used for training, then training realism is improved, but cost and resource consumption increase due to door destruction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a simplified training model that copies the essential features of a security door (frame member, elongate members representing bolts, clevis members, retention bars) without using actual doors. This allows repeated training scenarios without destruction, resolving the contradiction between training realism and cost loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The training system uses inexpensive, replaceable components (frame member, elongate members, clevis members) that can be easily replaced after each training exercise. This eliminates the need to destroy expensive actual doors while maintaining training effectiveness.
2Reliability
If actual security doors are used for training, then training scenario accuracy is improved, but device complexity and setup cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The security door is divided into separate functional components: frame member, elongate members (bolts), clevis members, retention bars. This segmentation allows each component to be independently manufactured and assembled, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining scenario accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified training model that copies the essential features of a security door (frame member, elongate members representing bolts, clevis members, retention bars) without using actual doors. This allows repeated training scenarios without destruction, resolving the contradiction between training realism and cost loss.
3Reliability
If actual doors are used for training, then breach operation realism is improved, but productivity decreases due to time-consuming setup and destruction
Solution Approach 1:
The training system uses a simplified model that copies the essential breach scenario features without requiring actual doors. This enables rapid setup and repeated use, significantly improving training productivity while maintaining breach operation realism through the use of representative components.
Solution Approach 2:
The training components (elongate members, clevis members) are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled. After each training exercise, components can be quickly recovered and reused, eliminating the time-consuming process of destroying and replacing actual doors, thus improving training efficiency.
