Thumb Wheel Wing Detachment Assembly for Tool-Free Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aerial vehicle systems face inconvenience in detaching and mounting their wings, requiring dedicated tools.
Innovation Solution
A wing detachment assembly featuring a thumb wheel with a threaded hole, rotatably mounted on the vehicle body or wing, and a threaded post, allowing for easy connection and disconnection by rotating the thumb wheel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated detachment tool is used to mount/detach the wing, then the connection reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wing detachment assembly enables the wing to be detached and mounted using the thumb wheel mechanism itself, without requiring external dedicated tools. The thumb wheel integrates the fastening and detachment functions into a single self-contained system that users can operate directly.
Solution Approach 2:
The thumb wheel mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides both the fastening action to secure the wing and the detachment action to remove the wing. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated tools while maintaining connection reliability through the threaded engagement mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If a simple manual mechanism is used for wing detachment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wing detachment assembly is divided into distinct functional components: the thumb wheel for rotation, the threaded hole for engagement, and the connecting portions for attachment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall design manageable and not overly complex.
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
Enables quick and manual detachment and mounting of the wing without the need for a dedicated detachment tool, improving operational convenience.
Implementation Method 1
The first connecting portion is threadedly connected to a threaded hole of the thumb wheel, the first connecting portion and the thumb wheel being fastened or detached when the thumb wheel is rotated
