Segmented Compression Hose Connection Device with Detachable Hinges
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing connection devices for compression hoses are inflexible and require multiple types to accommodate different construction joint situations, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs, as well as difficulties in identifying which connections are connected to injection hoses during medium supply.
Innovation Solution
A connection device with multiple connection pieces, each featuring a clamping device and a predetermined breaking or detachable latching connection, allowing for flexible configuration as a single or multiple units, enabling adaptation to various installation scenarios without the need for multiple device types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of connection devices are provided for different construction joint situations, then adaptability to various installation scenarios is improved, but device complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection device is divided into multiple separable connection pieces that can be detached from each other. Each connection piece can independently hold compression hoses, and the pieces can be separated or combined based on the specific installation requirements, eliminating the need to store multiple different connection device types
Solution Approach 2:
The connection device transitions from a static, fixed configuration to a dynamic, reconfigurable system. The detachable connection pieces allow the device to be adapted on-site according to different construction joint situations, providing versatility without requiring multiple pre-manufactured device variants
2Adaptability or versatility
If connection pieces are made detachable for flexible configuration, then adaptability is improved, but reliability and stability of the connection may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The connection pieces are designed with predetermined breaking connections and detachable latching mechanisms that ensure reliable and stable connections during assembly. The latching connections are engineered to maintain firm engagement during use, providing both flexibility for reconfiguration and reliability for the connected state
