Swaged Elongate Member Assembly With Rotatable Mounting Fixing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing elongate member assemblies face difficulties in mounting due to the limited direction of the bracket's extension, making it challenging to align with the mounting object's position.
Innovation Solution
An elongate member assembly with a connecting member, swaging member, and fixing member, where the connecting member includes a swaging portion and a connecting portion that allows the fixing member to rotate and move, enabling easy alignment and fixation to a mounting object.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the bracket is fixed to the elongate member by swaging at a predetermined position, then the bracket is securely fixed to the elongate member, but the direction in which the base of the bracket extends is limited to a direction radially outward from the elongate member, making it difficult to align with the mounting position of the mounting object
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a rotation permitting portion that allows the ring-shaped portion to rotate relative to the connecting portion around the axis of the elongate member. This dynamic capability enables the bracket to adjust its extending direction to align with various mounting positions on the mounting object, resolving the contradiction between secure fixation and mounting direction flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting member is divided into distinct functional portions: a swaging portion for secure attachment to the elongate member, a connecting portion with a hole for the elongate member to penetrate, and a rotation permitting portion that enables relative rotation. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function independently, achieving both secure fixation and mounting flexibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bracket is fixed by swaging at a predetermined position, then the structure is simple and secure, but the mounting position alignment is difficult due to limited directional adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The rotation permitting portion provides controlled rotational movement between the ring-shaped portion and the connecting portion, enabling the bracket to adapt to different mounting positions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The movement limiting portion prevents excessive rotation, ensuring the structure remains manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the rotational parameter of the bracket by introducing the rotation permitting portion, allowing the bracket to adjust its orientation angle relative to the elongate member. This parameter change enables adaptation to various mounting positions without significantly increasing structural complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy mounting of the elongate member assembly to the mounting object by allowing the fixing member to adjust its direction and position, reducing the need for precise alignment and minimizing the risk of transmission efficiency loss or outer casing deterioration.
Implementation Method 1
a swaging member that swages and fixes the connecting member to the elongate member, and a fixing member connected to the connecting member. The connecting member includes a swaging portion pressed by the swaging member on the elongate member

AI summary
An elongate member assembly having an elongate member, a connecting member provided between one end and another end of the elongate member, and a swaging member that swages and fixes the connecting member to the elongate member, and fixing member connected to the connecting member. The connecting member includes a swaging portion pressed by the swaging member on the elongate member, and a connecting portion connected to the fixing member. The fixing member includes an anchor portion mounted to a mounting object member, and a ring-shaped portion connected to the connecting portion. The connecting portion includes, a rotation permitting portion that permits the ring-shaped portion to move, and a movement limiting portion that limits movement of the ring-shaped portion. The elongate member assembly facilitates the fixing thereof onto the mounting object member.
