U-Bolt Support Surface for Even Strain and Orthogonal Fixing

The patent introduces a preliminary action by providing a guide groove on the support surface before the actual fastening operation. This guide groove pre-establishes the correct positioning and alignment for the shaft parts, ensuring that when tightening is performed, the strain distribution remains uniform. The guide groove acts as a preparatory feature that prevents horizontal displacement and ensures equal strain distribution between shaft parts A and B during the fastening process.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the U-bolt structure into distinct functional components: the body part with the support surface containing the guide groove, and the shaft parts. This segmentation allows the guide groove to be integrated into the support surface as a separate functional element rather than requiring complex modifications to the entire U-bolt structure. The guide groove segment specifically addresses horizontal displacement prevention while maintaining the overall simplicity of the U-bolt design, thus enabling easy inspection and repair.

The patent introduces the guide groove as an intermediary element between the support surface and the shaft parts. This guide groove mediates the interaction by providing a physical guide that ensures the shaft parts are positioned correctly and evenly during the fastening operation. The intermediary guide groove translates the requirement for perpendicular fixation into an easily operable positioning feature, allowing workers to achieve even fixing on both left and right shaft parts without requiring complex alignment procedures.
