Sliding Positioning Fastener for Quick Repeated Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fixing methods using screws often result in difficulty in disassembling objects due to their coupling mode, making it challenging to repeatedly couple and disengage objects quickly.
Innovation Solution
A sliding positioning structure comprising a seat, a first fastening body, and a second fastening body, with sliding portions, guiding portions, and elastic elements, allowing for lateral movement and easy assembly and disassembly by using channels, grooves, and elastic elements to facilitate quick coupling and disengagement of objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a screw is used for fastening and locking the object, then the object is securely fixed and not easily disengaged, but it becomes difficult to remove the object and assembly is challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening body is designed with movable components including a sliding block that can move along a guiding rail, and a pressing arm that can rotate between pressed and released states. This dynamic structure allows the fastening mechanism to transition between locked and unlocked states, enabling easy removal while maintaining secure fixation during operation
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening body is divided into multiple functional components: a sliding block for lateral movement, a pressing arm for vertical pressing action, and a guiding rail for constrained motion. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, facilitating smooth assembly and disassembly operations
2Reliability
If a screw is used for fastening and locking the object, then the object is securely fixed, but assembly becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing arm can be rotated from a pressed state to a released state, allowing the sliding block to move freely along the guiding rail during assembly. This dynamic feature simplifies the assembly process by eliminating the need for precise screw threading, while still achieving secure fixation when the pressing arm is returned to the pressed state
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic element acts as an intermediary between the sliding block and the pressing arm, automatically maintaining the pressing force without requiring manual adjustment. This intermediary mechanism ensures reliable fixation while simplifying assembly operations

AI summary
A sliding positioning structure includes a seat, a first fastening body and a second fastening body. The first fastening body is movably assembled at the seat. The second fastening body is provided at the seat, and is for longitudinally fastening, latitudinally fastening or rotationally fastening to a first object. Accordingly, the seat can be quickly assembled with the first object by using the second fastening body, and be coupled with or removed from a second object by using the first fastening body, thereby accomplishing coupling or disengagement of two objects and achieving effects of repeated and quickly coupling and disengagement.
