Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bench vises are limited to longitudinal clamping of round tubes, leading to slipping during horizontal clamping, which compromises stability and practicality.
Innovation Solution
A quick and versatile bench vise design featuring V-shaped limiting blocks, a movable vise assembly, and a bullhorn anvil, allowing for both lateral and longitudinal clamping of round tubes, along with a rotating base for adjustable positioning and secure mounting to a workbench.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional bench vise jaws are used for horizontal clamping of round tubes, then longitudinal clamping is achieved, but the workpiece slips downward under lateral pressure
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping function is segmented into two independent systems: conventional jaws for longitudinal clamping and V-shaped limiting blocks for lateral positioning. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in one clamping direction, preventing the slip-down problem while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
V-shaped limiting blocks serve as intermediary elements between the workpiece and the vise body. These blocks provide lateral support and positioning for round tubes, acting as a mediator that prevents downward slipping while allowing the jaws to maintain longitudinal clamping force
2Adaptability or versatility
If the vise structure is enhanced with additional components for multi-functional clamping, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The V-shaped limiting blocks serve multiple functions: they provide lateral positioning, prevent slip-down during horizontal clamping, and support various workpiece shapes including round and square tubes. This multi-functionality achieves versatility without requiring separate dedicated components for each function
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds a lateral support dimension to the traditional longitudinal clamping system. By introducing V-shaped blocks that act in the lateral direction, the system gains multi-directional clamping capability while keeping the original jaw mechanism intact, thus avoiding complete structural redesign
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances stability and versatility in clamping various shapes, including round and square tubes, enabling efficient processing with improved convenience and functionality.
Implementation Method 1
A spring, fixed on the screw with a retaining ring and a split pin, ensures that the movable jaw body promptly withdraws when the screw is loosened
Implementation Method 2
The screw is mounted on the movable jaw body and can rotate but not move axially. It coordinates with the screw nut installed inside the fixed jaw body. When the handle is turned to rotate the screw, it drives the movable jaw body to move axially relative to the fixed jaw body
Implementation Method 3
V-shaped limiting blocks are fixedly installed... allowing for both lateral and longitudinal clamping of round tubes

AI summary
This application relates to the technical field of bench vise, and specifically, to a quick multi-functional bench vise, including: bench vise body; The movable vise assembly, which the movable vise assembly is slidably mounted on one side of the top of the bench vise body. By placing V-shaped limit blocks under the jaws of the bench vise body and the movable jaw assembly, users can easily grip round tubes in both horizontal and vertical orientations. This versatility makes the bench tiger pliers suitable for a broader range of applications, offering convenience and efficiency while enhancing its practicality and functionality.
