Weld Stud Anchoring Assembly for Metal Liners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing anchoring assemblies for metal objects are time-consuming to install due to the need for welding rectangular plates and subsequently fixing anchoring elements, making the process inefficient.
Innovation Solution
The anchoring assembly employs a weld stud for stud welding, which simplifies the attachment to a metal object, along with a clamping element for secure positioning, allowing for quicker installation and easier handling, storage, and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If rectangular plates are welded to metal objects and anchoring elements are fixed subsequently, then the anchoring assembly can be attached to metal objects, but the installation process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines the fixing device and anchoring element into a single integrated component. The fixing device includes a base portion with a through-hole and an anchoring portion extending therefrom, eliminating the need for separate welding of plates and subsequent fixing of anchoring elements. This merging reduces installation steps and time while maintaining secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring element is pre-positioned as an integral part of the fixing device during manufacturing. This preliminary action allows the anchoring element to be correctly positioned before installation, eliminating the need for subsequent fixing operations and reducing installation time while ensuring proper positioning.
2Ease of operation
If rectangular plates with through holes are used as fixing devices, then anchoring elements can be passed through, but the handling, storage and transportation becomes less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device and anchoring element are merged into a single pre-assembled unit. This integration simplifies handling during transportation and storage, as workers only need to handle one component rather than separate plates and anchoring elements, thereby improving installation efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for anchoring assembly, then flexibility in material selection is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device is divided into functional portions: a base portion with a through-hole and an anchoring portion extending therefrom. This segmentation allows different materials to be selected for different portions while maintaining a simplified overall structure that reduces assembly complexity compared to multiple separate components.
