Straight Assembly Block Coupling With Elastic Wear Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional straightly assembled blocks face issues with easy dislocation and wear of engaging coupling devices due to misalignment and repeated assembly/coupling, leading to reduced coupling strength over time.
Innovation Solution
The design includes male and female piece blocks with arc-shaped ends and rotating shafts, featuring a recessed portion with an elastic hole and a protruding portion with a guide device, allowing for easy coupling and elastic widening to prevent wear, ensuring stable assembly even after repeated use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the coupling device is forcibly pressed to engage the protruding portion with the recessed portion, then the assembly is achieved, but the coupling device wears out and coupling strength is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The guide device is provided in advance on the coupling surfaces to预先 guide the coupling direction and position, so that when the protruding portion is inserted, it automatically follows the guide groove to the correct position, eliminating the need for forcible pressing and preventing wear of the coupling device
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove acts as an intermediary element between the protruding portion and the recessed portion, providing a path that guides the coupling process and ensures proper alignment without requiring excessive force, thereby preventing wear while achieving assembly
2Manufacturing precision
If the positions of the protruding surface and the inner surface do not exactly match, then misalignment occurs, but assembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The guide device is pre-formed on the coupling surfaces to establish the correct alignment path before the actual coupling occurs, allowing components to self-align during assembly even if initial positions are not perfectly matched
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove uses a curved or arc-shaped path rather than a straight line, allowing the protruding portion to follow the curved guide to achieve proper alignment, accommodating position variations while ensuring correct final positioning
3Adaptability or versatility
If the protruding portion is repeatedly guided to the recessed portion, then assembly/d disassembly is possible, but the engaging coupling device wears out
Solution Approach 1:
The guide device is pre-configured to provide a wear-free coupling path, ensuring that repeated assembly operations do not damage the coupling devices, thereby maintaining both repeated assembly capability and long service life
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove is designed to cushion and distribute the contact forces during coupling, preventing concentrated stress on the coupling devices, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life under repeated assembly conditions

Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration enables easy assembly and disassembly while minimizing wear on the engaging coupling device, enhancing the durability and coupling strength of the assembled blocks, addressing consumer complaints and improving merchantability.
Implementation Method 1
an incision hole for an elastic action is formed from a corner of the recessed portion toward an interior on which the rotating shaft is provided, such that when the protruding portion is guided and coupled, the recessed portion is elastically operated so as to be widened in a left/right outward direction

AI summary
The present invention relates to a straightly assembled block comprising engaging assembly means configured in male and female types, first ends of which can be coupled to each other, such that male and female piece blocks can be assembled by connecting the same to each other straightly, and the engaging assembly means are improved such that wear is prevented in spite of repeated separation/coupling, thereby maintaining continuous assembly power. To this end, the male and female piece blocks have engaging assembly means, first ends of which protrude in arc shapes, and the second ends of which are coupled to each other. Alternatively, connecting blocks have engaging assembly means formed on both ends thereof in different types. The engaging assembly means formed on the piece blocks or on the connecting blocks comprise a recessed portion and a protruding portion. Each of the recessed portion and the protruding portion has a guide means and a coupling means provided on both coupling surfaces thereof, respectively, the coupling means being guided along the guide means so as to engage, such that the same are connected on the same straight line. An incision hole for an elastic action is formed from a corner of the recessed portion toward the interior, on which a rotating shaft is formed, such that, when the protruding portion is guided and coupled, the incision hole is elastically operated so as to widen the recessed portion in the leftward/rightward outward direction, thereby preventing wear of the engaging coupling means.
