Torque Driving Tool with Swingable Bit Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional screwdriver handles with multiple driving bits arranged tightly save space but make it difficult to retrieve individual bits, while spacing them out increases the handle's volume, making it inconvenient to carry and use.
Innovation Solution
A torque driving tool with a main body, working portion, and rotatable grip portion that adjusts torque and includes swingable receiving devices with covers and receiving portions, allowing for compact storage and easy access to driving bits by folding and spreading the receiving members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If driving bits are tightly arranged in the receiving portion to save space, then the volume of the grip is reduced, but it becomes difficult for the user to take up individual driving bits
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving portion is designed to be swingably pivoted relative to the cover, transitioning between a closed position (reducing volume) and an open position (facilitating bit removal). This dynamic mechanism allows the same structure to serve both compact storage and easy access functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving portion can be nested within the cover when in the closed position, creating a compact configuration. When opened, the receiving portion swings outward to provide access to driving bits, effectively nesting the storage function within the protective cover.
2Ease of operation
If driving bits are spacingly arranged in the receiving portion for easy access, then the user can take up driving bits conveniently, but the receiving portion occupies too much space and the grip volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable receiving portion allows bits to be spaced for access when open, but collapses into a compact form when closed, dynamically adjusting the spatial arrangement based on operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving portion utilizes rotational movement around a pivot axis, transitioning from a compact linear arrangement to an extended radial arrangement, effectively using a different spatial dimension to resolve the volume vs. accessibility conflict.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple driving bits are received in a single receiving portion, then the user does not need to carry a separate storage box, but the driving bits become tightly arranged and hard to retrieve
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable receiving portion mechanism allows multiple bits to be stored compactly when not in use, but easily accessed when opened, providing both integrated storage and operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving portion is segmented into multiple slots for different driving bits, with each slot accessible when the receiving portion is opened. This segmentation allows organized storage of multiple bits while maintaining individual accessibility.
