Servo Motor Through-Hole Mounting for Flexible Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing servo motor devices face challenges in ease of attachment and flexibility in installation with other parts, particularly in applications like steering mechanisms of model cars and joint portions of robots.
Innovation Solution
The servo motor device incorporates a main body with a motor, an output shaft protruding and rotatably held by the main body, and a through hole penetrating the main body, allowing for easier attachment methods between the servo motor device and other components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional servo motor device structure is used, then the motor can output power through the output shaft, but the ease of attachment and flexibility in installation with other parts is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the main body into segments by introducing a through hole that penetrates through it, allowing separate attachment components to be installed on opposite sides. This segmentation enables independent attachment operations and improves ease of attachment without compromising structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The through hole serves multiple functions: it acts as a passage for attachment components, provides mounting points for securing the servo motor device to other parts, and enables flexible installation orientations. This multi-functionality directly addresses the need for improved ease of attachment and installation flexibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the servo motor device is designed for specific applications, then it can perform its function, but it lacks flexibility in installation with other parts
Solution Approach 1:
The through hole configuration provides universal attachment capability that works across different applications and installation scenarios. The simple cylindrical through hole can accommodate various attachment mechanisms (screws, pins, keys) and allows the servo motor device to be mounted in different orientations and configurations, greatly enhancing adaptability without complicating the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces local structural modification by adding the through hole only where needed for attachment purposes, while keeping the rest of the main body structure simple and suitable for motor manufacturing. This localized quality change provides enhanced adaptability without requiring complex redesign of the entire device.
