Universal Setting Tool for Capsule Anchors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing setting tools for capsular anchors are costly due to the need for different tools for various anchor rod sizes, and they cannot be easily removed after chemical hardening, limiting flexibility in series applications.
Innovation Solution
A setting tool system with a shaft and head featuring a threaded section for adapter connection and an unthreaded section for direct drive machine coupling, allowing flexible use with percussion or battery drills, and a set including multiple tools for different sizes that can connect to a common adapter for various cap anchors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If different setting tools are used for different sized anchor rods, then each tool can be optimized for its specific size, but the cost increases and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The setting tool is designed with a universal interface system consisting of a head portion with a connecting section for anchor rods, a shaft portion with both threaded and unthreaded sections, and a drive portion. This multi-functional design allows a single tool to accommodate different sized anchor rods through various connecting configurations, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools while maintaining optimized performance for each size.
2Productivity
If multiple setting tools of the same size are purchased for serial applications, then tool availability is ensured, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The setting tool is segmented into distinct functional portions: a head portion for connecting to anchor rods, a shaft portion for power transmission, and a drive portion for engagement with the power tool. This segmentation allows the tool to be designed as a single versatile unit that can be used repeatedly in serial applications, eliminating the need to purchase multiple complete tools while ensuring continuous availability through quick detachment and reattachment of the head portion.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the setting tool is designed with both threaded and unthreaded sections, then versatility in power tool connection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The shaft portion is designed with local quality variation, featuring both a threaded section and an unthreaded section along its length. The threaded section provides secure connection to power tools with threaded interfaces, while the unthreaded section accommodates power tools with different interface types. This localized differentiation in the shaft design enables broad compatibility with various power tools without requiring complete redesign of the entire tool structure.
