Solution Overview

Problem

The detachment and installation processes of vibration devices in 4D seats are cumbersome, making maintenance difficult due to the need for external tools and complex fastening mechanisms.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating an engaging protrusion and hole mechanism between the vibration device and the fixed suspension spring, allowing for stable engagement and easy detachment, facilitating labor-saving assembly and maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If complex fastening mechanisms are used to secure the vibration device, then connection stability is improved, but assembly and maintenance complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection mechanism is segmented into distinct components: an engaging protrusion on one part and a corresponding engaging hole on the other part. This segmentation allows for simple, modular assembly where parts connect through basic geometric interlocking rather than complex fastening systems, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining stable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If traditional fastening methods are used for the vibration device, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidease of installation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The engaging protrusion and hole mechanism enables self-aligning, tool-free connection. The geometric shapes guide the parts into proper alignment during assembly, and the interlocking design provides inherent connection reliability without requiring external tools or complex fastening procedures, significantly improving ease of installation and maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A vibration seat includes: a seat body; a fixed suspension spring mounted to the seat body; and a vibration device. One of the vibration device and the fixed suspension spring includes an engaging protrusion, and the other one of the vibration device and the fixed suspension spring includes an engaging hole. The engaging protrusion is engaged with the engaging hole.
