Stanchion Lashing Mechanism for Fast Partial Load Securing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing load securing systems for commercial vehicles are cumbersome, time-consuming, and risky, especially when securing partial loads in or against the direction of travel, and they often require bulky and heavy locking beams that are difficult to install and remove.
Innovation Solution
A charge protection system that includes a runge with a perforated grid, which can be fixed between the roof and the floor of the commercial vehicle structure, and a flexible lashing agent that can be connected to anchoring elements with free thighs and a connecting leg, allowing for secure load positioning at different heights and easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If shoring beams are used to achieve positive load securing, then load securing effectiveness is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to bulkiness, installation complexity, and safety risks
Solution Approach 1:
The load securing system is divided into modular components: a base element with bearing shoes, adjustable locking bars, and interchangeable securing elements. This segmentation allows individual components to be easily handled, installed, and removed without requiring complex assembly operations, directly addressing the ease of operation concern while maintaining securing effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking bar is designed to be adjustable in position and angle, allowing dynamic adaptation to different load configurations and vehicle dimensions. This adjustability enables the system to maintain effective load securing across various scenarios without requiring multiple fixed-position beams, simplifying the installation process.
2Reliability
If shoring beams are used for load securing, then positive fit is achieved, but weight and volume increase due to bulkiness
Solution Approach 1:
The securing system uses separate, lightweight components (base element, locking bar, securing elements) that can be individually optimized for weight. This replaces the traditional single-piece heavy beam structure, reducing overall system weight while maintaining the positive fit securing mechanism through the distributed modular components.
3Reliability
If traditional lashing down is used to meet friction-based securing requirements, then securing capability is achieved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to cumbersome and time-consuming procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces traditional friction-based lashing with a mechanical positive-fit locking mechanism. The locking bar engages with bearing shoes and securing elements to create direct mechanical interlocking, eliminating the need for time-consuming tensioning and friction-dependent lashing operations, thereby significantly improving loading speed while maintaining securing capability.
