Separable Climbing Shoe for Formwork Dismantling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing climbing shoes require additional platforms and a larger stock for dismantling when no longer needed, as they cannot be easily removed from a wall while engaged with climbing rails, especially when the rails span multiple concrete sections.
Innovation Solution
A climbing shoe design featuring a pivotable and/or telescoping claw connected to a wall shoe part, allowing for easy detachment by pivoting and locking mechanisms, enabling removal without additional platforms and facilitating attachment at any point along the rail.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If climbing shoes are designed with fixed attachment to wall, then climbing rails can be securely guided along the wall, but the climbing shoes cannot be easily removed when no longer needed
Solution Approach 1:
The climbing shoe is divided into two separable parts: a wall shoe part that remains attached to the wall and a sliding shoe part that can be easily removed. This segmentation allows the system to maintain secure attachment when needed while enabling easy removal when the climbing rail has passed through, resolving the contradiction between secure attachment and ease of removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding shoe part is designed to be movable relative to the wall shoe part, transitioning from a fixed engaged state with the climbing rail to a removable disengaged state. This dynamic design allows the climbing shoe to adapt between secure attachment during use and easy removal after use, eliminating the need for additional platforms.
2Productivity
If climbing shoes remain fixed on the wall, then climbing rails can be continuously guided, but additional platforms and larger stock of climbing shoes are required for dismantling
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the climbing shoe into wall shoe part and sliding shoe part, the system enables straightforward dismantling without requiring additional platforms or a larger stock of climbing shoes. The sliding shoe part can be directly removed from the wall shoe part, significantly improving dismantling efficiency and reducing equipment requirements.
3Ease of operation
If climbing shoes are designed for easy removal, then dismantling is simplified, but the secure engagement with climbing rails may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The separation into wall shoe part and sliding shoe part allows the sliding shoe part to maintain secure engagement with the climbing rail through claws while enabling easy removal from the wall shoe part. This segmentation ensures that dismantling is simplified without compromising the secure engagement between the sliding shoe part and the climbing rail during operation.
