Suction Mount Rotating Joint Structure for Wide Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing suction-operated devices, such as those used in vehicle roof luggage loading devices, have limited angle adjustment ranges, failing to meet diverse mounting requirements.
Innovation Solution
A suction-operated device with a rotating member and connecting member, featuring locking mechanisms and an electric sucker, allows for a large angle adjustment range and secure attachment to external structures through controlled suction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the sucker is hinged with the supporting rods to allow rotation, then the device can be attached and fixed on external structures, but the angle adjustment range is small and cannot meet various mounting requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by introducing a rotating member with multiple rotation joints that enable multi-degree-of-freedom movement. The rotating member includes a first rotation joint between the sucker and the rotating member, and a second rotation joint between the rotating member and the connecting member, allowing the device to adjust to various angles and orientations dynamically
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the rigid connection structure into multiple separable components: the sucker, the rotating member, and the connecting member. This segmentation allows each component to rotate independently at its designated joints, significantly expanding the overall angle adjustment range while maintaining structural integrity
2Reliability
If locking members are added to control motion and locking positions, then the device can maintain stable positions, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle through the first locking member and second locking member that can automatically lock the rotating member at desired positions. The locking members are designed to control the motion of the sucker relative to the rotating member and the rotating member relative to the connecting member, respectively, enabling the device to maintain stable positions without external intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The locking members work in conjunction with the rotation joints to provide dynamic position control. The device can transition between locked and unlocked states, allowing flexible adjustment followed by stable positioning, thus achieving both adaptability and reliability
