Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle seat securing systems for similar automobile models require differentiation in rear floor upper crossbeam assemblies due to minor differences in man-machine arrangements, leading to potential misidentification during production and increased costs for molds and tooling.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle seat securing apparatus that integrates a rear seat left mounting bracket, a child seat mounting portion, and a rear seat right mounting bracket on a base, reducing welding variables and allowing for standardized production across similar models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different rear floor upper crossbeam assemblies are used for similar models to accommodate different man-machine arrangements, then the seat mounting requirements are met, but the production complexity increases and misidentification errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a unified rear floor upper crossbeam assembly that can serve multiple similar automobile models. The standardized bracket structures and welding positions enable the same assembly to be used across different models, eliminating the need for model-specific variations while maintaining adaptability through standardized mounting interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the seat mounting functions for different models into a single standardized assembly design. By consolidating the bracket configurations and welding positions into one universal standard, the patent combines what were previously separate model-specific designs into a unified solution that reduces production complexity.
2Ease of manufacture
If standardized rear floor upper crossbeam assemblies are used for similar models, then production costs are reduced and misidentification is minimized, but the ability to accommodate different man-machine arrangements is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized assembly is designed with universal bracket structures and welding positions that can accommodate different seat mounting requirements across similar models. The standardization applies to the overall assembly structure while maintaining functional adaptability through standardized interfaces that work across multiple model configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by standardizing key geometric parameters such as welding positions and bracket dimensions. By establishing fixed parameter values for the standardized assembly, the patent achieves ease of manufacture while the standardized parameters are designed to accommodate the range of requirements across similar models.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple customized molds and tooling equipment are invested in for different models, then the specific seat mounting requirements are met, but the production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need for multiple customized molds and tooling by designing a universal rear floor upper crossbeam assembly with standardized bracket structures. This single standardized design can be used across similar models, reducing tooling investment while maintaining manufacturing precision through standardized dimensions and welding positions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes standardized parameter values for welding positions and bracket dimensions that maintain manufacturing precision across different models. By fixing these parameters in the standardized design, the patent achieves consistent precision without requiring model-specific tooling variations.
