Universal Motor Support Device for Vehicle Ventilation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current motor support devices for ventilation, heating, and air conditioning systems in vehicles require separate designs for different sizes and types of electric motors, leading to logistical complications and increased development and manufacturing costs due to the need for multiple motor supports.
Innovation Solution
A standardized motor support device that can accommodate various electric motors by transferring the specificity of the motor to a single, smaller component, allowing for the use of motors from different manufacturers without requiring new motor supports, and simplifying logistics through a unified part and tool management system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate motor support designs are used for different motor sizes and types, then each motor can be properly supported, but the number of parts increases and logistics complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motor support device is designed with a standardized structure that can accommodate multiple motor sizes and types through adjustable support elements. The support device includes a base plate with multiple mounting holes and adjustable support arms that can be positioned to match different motor dimensions, allowing a single universal support design to replace multiple specialized designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The motor support device is divided into modular components including a base plate, adjustable support arms, and mounting brackets. These segmented elements can be independently adjusted and reconfigured to accommodate different motor specifications, enabling one standardized support device to serve multiple motor types without requiring complete redesign.
2Reliability
If multiple motor support designs are maintained, then specific motors are properly supported, but development and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a universal motor support device that can accommodate various motor sizes and types through standardized interfaces and adjustable elements, the manufacturer eliminates the need to develop and produce multiple specialized support designs, thereby reducing development and manufacturing costs while maintaining proper support functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functionality of multiple specialized motor support designs into a single standardized support device. By combining adjustable support arms, standardized mounting interfaces, and modular brackets into one unified design, the manufacturer can produce a single cost-effective solution that replaces multiple expensive specialized components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple motor support designs are used, then each motor type is accommodated, but logistical management becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized motor support device with adjustable elements provides adaptability to accommodate different motor types while maintaining a single part number and design specification. This universality simplifies logistics management by eliminating the need to track, store, and manage multiple specialized support designs, allowing factory personnel to use the same support device for all motor installations.
4Ease of operation
If standardized motor support is used, then logistics are simplified, but adaptability to different motor sizes must be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The motor support device incorporates dynamic adjustable elements such as movable support arms with adjustable lengths and positions, allowing the standardized support structure to adapt to different motor sizes and configurations. This dynamic adjustability maintains versatility while preserving the benefits of a single standardized design for simplified logistics management.
