Trestle Panel Attachment Mechanism for Stable Clamping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing attachment structure for panels is not stable on crosspiece members, leading to inefficient panel attachment processes.
Innovation Solution
A trestle design featuring a base portion, a crosspiece portion, and an attachment mechanism with sliding components that include a first and second attachment portion, where the first attachment portion presses the panel and the second attachment portion is placed on the crosspiece portion, allowing for secure clamping via a bolt and nut system, with the nut changing attitude to engage with a groove for enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a panel is attached to a crosspiece member using a fixture in a groove portion, then the panel can be attached to the crosspiece member, but the attachment is not stable and efficiency of attachment work deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment portion is divided into two separate components: a first attachment portion that presses the panel and a second attachment portion that is placed on the crosspiece portion. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, improving both stability and attachment efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The first attachment portion is combined with the second attachment portion in such a manner as to be able to slide the panel in the pressing direction. This dynamic sliding mechanism enables easy alignment and secure clamping, enhancing both attachment stability and work efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If the attachment portion uses a sliding mechanism with insertion portion and inserted portion, then the panel can be aligned easily, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion portion (projecting plate portion) from the first attachment portion is inserted into the inserted portion (insertion groove) on the second attachment portion. This nesting structure provides simple yet effective guidance for panel alignment without requiring complex mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding mechanism with insertion and inserted portions enables the attachment portion to self-align with the panel during installation. The structure automatically guides the panel into the correct position through the sliding action, reducing the need for complex alignment tools or procedures.
3Ease of operation
If the nut changes attitude between first attitude for easy insertion and second attitude for locking, then the attachment can be both easily installed and securely locked, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nut is designed to change its attitude (orientation) between a first attitude for easy insertion into the groove portion and a second attitude for locking by being caught by the groove portion. This dynamic reorientation capability allows the same component to serve dual purposes: easy installation and secure locking.
Solution Approach 2:
The nut's orientation parameter changes between two discrete states: the first attitude (longitudinal direction aligned with groove portion extending direction) for insertion, and the second attitude (rotated about the bolt axis) for locking. This parameter change enables the nut to transition between insertion and locking functions.

AI summary
A trestle capable of improving efficiency of attachment work of a panel is provided. The trestle according to the present disclosure is a trestle for installing a panel at an installation place. The trestle includes a base portion fixed to the installation place, a crosspiece portion supported by the base portion, and an attachment portion for attaching the panel to the crosspiece portion. The attachment portion includes a first attachment portion to press the panel in a pressing direction pointing toward the crosspiece portion and clamp the panel between the first attachment portion and the crosspiece portion and a second attachment portion placed on a placement surface of the crosspiece portion. The first attachment portion is combined with the second attachment portion in such a manner as to be able to slide the panel in the pressing direction.
