Shared-Fixing Support Structure for Multi-Component Pressing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support structures require individual fixing of multiple support tools for components of varying weights and shapes, leading to increased labor and weight due to the need for a large cover, which complicates the pressing process.
Innovation Solution
A support structure that uses a first and second support tool, both fixed to the same fixing portion, allowing for collective fixing without increasing weight, with the tools having overlapping reinforcing structures and different materials for varying pressing forces, and positioning and penetrating features for precise alignment and confirmation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple individual support tools are fixed to the structure, then each component can be pressed with appropriate force, but the labor for fixing increases and the structure weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple support tools are merged into a single integrated support tool assembly that is fixed to the structure as one unit. The assembly includes multiple pressing portions for different components, eliminating the need to fix multiple separate tools individually, thus reducing fixing labor while maintaining the ability to press multiple components with appropriate forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The support tool assembly is designed with multi-functionality to perform multiple pressing operations simultaneously. It includes pressing portions for different types of components (IC components, connectors, etc.) with different pressing force requirements, allowing a single fixed assembly to serve multiple functions that previously required multiple separate tools.
2Ease of operation
If a large cover is used to fix multiple support tools collectively, then fixing workability improves, but the support structure weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support tool assembly is segmented into multiple independent pressing portions that can be independently adjusted. Each pressing portion corresponds to a specific component type and can be individually positioned and force-adjusted, while the entire assembly remains a compact unit fixed to a single location, avoiding the need for a large distributed cover structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If support tools are individually fixed at separate fixing points, then each component can be pressed independently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple pressing portions are nested within a single support tool assembly structure. The assembly is fixed to one location on the structure, with pressing portions arranged in a nested or compact configuration that allows access to multiple components without requiring multiple separate fixing points, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining individual pressing capability.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This approach reduces labor and weight while improving workability by enabling collective pressing of multiple components with enhanced pressing force and strength, allowing for precise positioning and confirmation of pressed components.
Implementation Method 1
it is necessary to change the pressing force with the elastic force of the material of the support tool taken into account

AI summary
A support structure supports a component mounted on a mounting surface of a structure by pressing the component to the mounting surface side and includes a first support tool and a second support tool used so that the component is pressed to the mounting surface side and supported and a fixing portion provided on the structure and fixing the first support tool and the second support tool. The first support tool and the second support tool are fixed to the same fixing portion.
