Socket Device with Detachable Fastening Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing socket arrangements lack versatility in attachment options, limiting their application range when attached to peripheral components, as they often rely on fixed fastening methods that do not accommodate different installation locations or environmental conditions effectively.
Innovation Solution
The socket arrangement features multiple detachable fastening interfaces and elements, including a fastening plate with adjustable mounting sections and a resilient latching mechanism, allowing for adaptable attachment to various peripheral components and environments, and the option to use magnetic or strap-based fastening elements for additional flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed fastening method is used for the socket arrangement, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different installation locations is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The socket arrangement is equipped with multiple fastening interfaces (first and second fastening interfaces) that can accommodate different types of fastening elements. The housing includes both a first fastening interface for a first fastening element and a second fastening interface for a second fastening element, allowing the same device to be installed in various locations using different fastening methods, thus achieving multi-functionality and adaptability without requiring multiple different devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fastening interfaces are provided, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is segmented into multiple independent fastening interfaces (first fastening interface and second fastening interface) located at different positions on the housing. Each interface can be independently configured with different fastening elements, allowing flexible combination and selection based on installation requirements, thereby expanding the range of applications while keeping each individual interface relatively simple.
3Ease of operation
If detachable fastening elements are used, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of connection may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is designed to be dynamic and reconfigurable. The socket arrangement can be easily assembled and disassembled by detaching or reattaching different fastening elements to the fastening interfaces. This dynamic design allows for easy adjustment and removal during operation while maintaining reliable connections when properly assembled, as the interfaces are designed to ensure stable engagement.
