Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly and disassembly of mechanical switching devices are time-consuming due to the large number of screw joints required, and existing designs are complex, increasing the need for precise dimensional tolerances.
Innovation Solution
A simplified attachment arrangement using a receiving member and an insert member, where the receiving member is formed in the base, middle, and protruding members, allowing for reduced screw joints and assembly steps, with the insert member extending through the middle and base members to hold the components together securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional screw joints are used to attach conductor members, base member, middle member and switch member, then the components can be securely attached together, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple attachment functions into a single integrated attachment arrangement. The attachment arrangement includes a receiving member with a receiving space and an insert member that can be inserted into the receiving space, allowing simultaneous attachment of conductor members, base member, middle member, and switch member through one unified structure rather than multiple separate screw joints.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment arrangement serves multiple functions simultaneously: it attaches conductor members to the base member, secures the middle member to the base member, and fastens the switch member to the middle member. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate attachment operations needed while maintaining secure connections for all components.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple screw joints are used to attach each component, then the components can be securely fastened, but the device complexity increases and dimensional tolerance requirements become more stringent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate attachment operations into a single integrated attachment arrangement. Instead of using individual screw joints for each component attachment, the design uses one unified attachment arrangement with a receiving member and insert member that simultaneously secures multiple components, thereby reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment arrangement is designed as a segmented modular structure with a receiving member containing a receiving space and an insert member that fits into it. This segmentation allows for easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining stable component positioning, reducing the complexity associated with traditional multi-screw joint designs.
3Strength
If traditional attachment methods with multiple screw joints are used, then components can be securely attached, but the number of assembly steps increases and production costs rise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple attachment operations into a single integrated attachment arrangement that can secure multiple components simultaneously. This merging of functions reduces the total number of assembly steps required while maintaining secure attachments, thereby increasing production efficiency and reducing costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment arrangement is designed with a receiving member that already contains a receiving space prepared for the insert member. This preliminary preparation of the attachment structure allows for rapid insertion and securing of components without requiring multiple separate assembly operations, thus improving assembly speed.
