Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ground anchoring systems face challenges in providing stability and resistance to mechanical stress, especially on varying ground conditions, and require complex installation processes, including excavation and material hardening, which are costly and time-consuming, and often fail to maintain stability under lateral and vertical pressures.

Innovation Solution

A ground anchoring system comprising at least two elongated tubular guiding members that allow anchoring rods to be inserted at an angle, providing stability and resistance through a tilting mechanism that distributes mechanical forces effectively without the need for preliminary ground or object preparation, and can be used on various ground types without excavation or material hardening.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If vertical driving is used for anchoring, then installation is simple, but stability is insufficient on various natural grounds

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidanchoring stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by tilting the anchoring rod relative to the vertical axis, creating an asymmetric driving direction that improves stability on natural grounds while maintaining operational simplicity through the guiding member mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Strength

If concrete casting is used for high load anchoring, then anchoring strength is improved, but installation time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanchoring strengthVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the time-consuming concrete casting process from the anchoring system, replacing it with a direct driving mechanism that achieves high strength anchoring without requiring excavation, material casting, or hardening time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The anchoring rod is designed as a standalone component that can be directly driven into the ground without permanent concrete foundations, enabling quick installation and potential reusability while maintaining high anchoring strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Force

If screw system is used for anchoring, then resistance to traction is improved, but installation difficulty increases on rocky bottom

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to tractionVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the driving parameters by using a tilted driving angle and guiding member mechanism that allows the anchoring rod to be driven at an angle, making installation feasible on rocky bottoms while maintaining traction resistance through the angled configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If tilted driving is used for anchoring, then stability is improved, but guiding member length must be excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanchoring stabilityVSAvoidguiding member length
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses another dimension by tilting the anchoring rod at an angle to the vertical axis, creating a triangular force distribution that improves stability while allowing the use of shorter guiding members compared to purely vertical driving

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
