Integrated Fixing Frame for Throwing Trap Drive Assembly Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional throwing trap main drive assembly positioning structures require numerous accessories and complex installation processes, leading to high manufacturing costs and wasteful use of manpower.
Innovation Solution
A main drive assembly positioning structure utilizing a first fixing frame and a second fixing frame to pivotally position the main drive assembly, reducing the need for accessories like the upper and lower fixing frames and simplifying the installation process by using a first and second fixing frame with specific fastening members and grooves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional bearing seat and fixing frame structure is used, then the main drive assembly can be positioned, but the number of accessories increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the bearing seat and fixing frame into an integrated structure. The bearing seat is directly formed as part of the fixing frame, eliminating the need for separate bearing seat components and reducing the total number of accessories while maintaining positioning reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing frame is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, positions the main drive assembly, and integrates the bearing seat functionality. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components.
2Reliability
If conventional bearing seat and fixing frame structure is used, then the main drive assembly can be positioned, but the installation procedure becomes cumbersome and assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the bearing seat and fixing frame into a single integrated component, the number of assembly steps is reduced. The main drive assembly is installed directly into the integrated structure, eliminating separate mounting operations for the bearing seat and fixing frame.
Solution Approach 2:
The bearing seat is pre-formed as an integral part of the fixing frame during manufacturing, so no separate installation of the bearing seat is required during assembly. This preliminary integration saves significant assembly time.
3Reliability
If conventional bearing seat and fixing frame structure is used, then the main drive assembly can be positioned, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated fixing frame with built-in bearing seat reduces the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, sourced, and inventoried. This consolidation reduces manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining positioning reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the bearing seat functionality from a separate component and integrates it directly into the fixing frame structure, eliminating the need for separate bearing seat manufacturing and reducing overall manufacturing cost.
