Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fixing parts, such as screws and pins, are laborious to install and dismantle, have a high error rate, and lack convenience and reliability in daily applications.

Innovation Solution

An installable and dismantlable apparatus comprising a load bearing part, a toggle assembly, and a fixing assembly, where the toggle assembly is rotatably disposed on the load bearing part and drives the fixing assembly to move for installation, and can be easily pushed back for dismantling, ensuring convenience, reliability, and firmness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If screws are used for fixing, then the fixing strength is improved, but the installation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing strengthVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing assembly transitions from a static screw connection to a dynamic toggle mechanism that can be quickly deployed and locked into position, eliminating the need for rotational tightening while maintaining secure fixation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The toggle assembly automatically locks into the fixed position when deployed, and the spring assembly provides automatic resetting functionality, reducing the need for manual intervention during installation and dismantling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If pins are used for fixing, then the installation speed is improved, but the reliability and firmness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidfixing reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The toggle assembly utilizes curved or angled geometric configurations that enable quick deployment while distributing mechanical loads effectively, providing both speed and reliability in the fixing operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention combines the quick-install feature of pins with the secure-fixing capability of screws by integrating the toggle mechanism with the spring resetting system, achieving both high installation speed and reliable fixation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If existing fixing parts are used, then the fixing function is achieved, but the dismantling complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing functionVSAvoiddismantling complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dismantling process is inverted by designing the toggle assembly to collapse automatically when the fixing assembly is pushed back, reversing the installation sequence and simplifying the dismantling operation to a single pushing motion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

An installable and dismantlable apparatus provided by the present invention includes: a load bearing part, a toggle assembly rotatably disposed on the load bearing part and a fixing assembly movably disposed on the load bearing part, and the fixing assembly is driven to move for fixing while the toggle assembly rotates. Through the use together of the load bearing part, the toggle assembly and the fixing assembly, while installed, the toggle assembly rotates and the fixing assembly is driven to move, and then the fixing assembly acts on another part for fixing; while dismantled, only the fixing assembly needs to be pushed towards its initial position, which not only ensures the convenience, reliability and firmness during the installation and fixation, but also saves manpower; and in practical use it is easy to operate and convenient for workers to install and dismantle quickly while ensuring the fixing effect.
