CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM, CONSTRUCTION METHOD, AND U-BOLT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272997 titled 'CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM, CONSTRUCTION METHOD, AND U-BOLT

Simplified Explanation

The installing system described in the abstract includes a U-bolt with a pair of shaft parts aligned in one direction and extending in another direction, along with a bridge part connecting one end of each shaft part. Additionally, a measurer embedded with strain gauges in each shaft part measures the strain of each shaft part in the second direction.

  • U-bolt with pair of shaft parts and bridge part
  • Measurer embedded with strain gauges in each shaft part

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and more for precise measurement and monitoring of strain in structural components.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately measuring strain in shaft parts in a simple and efficient manner, allowing for better monitoring and maintenance of equipment.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in measuring strain, early detection of potential issues in structural components, and overall increased safety and reliability of equipment.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include structural health monitoring systems, industrial machinery maintenance tools, and quality control systems in manufacturing processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be strain gauge sensors embedded in structural components for measuring strain, but the specific design of the U-bolt and the alignment of the shaft parts may be unique to this innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional strain measurement methods?

This technology offers a more direct and localized measurement of strain in shaft parts compared to traditional methods that may require external sensors or equipment.

What are the limitations of using strain gauges in this manner?

One limitation could be the potential for damage to the strain gauges during installation or operation, which may affect the accuracy of the measurements.


Original Abstract Submitted

An installing system () according to the present disclosure includes a U-bolt () which includes a pair of shaft parts () aligned in a first direction and extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a bridge part () that connects one ends of each of the pair of shaft parts (); and a measurer (), in which a strain gauge () which outputs a signal corresponding to a strain of the shaft parts () in the second direction is embedded in each of the pair of shaft parts (), in line symmetry with respect to a straight line (OX) including an apex () of the U-shape and extending in the second direction, and the measurer () measures the strain of each of the pair of shaft parts () in the second direction, from an output signal of the strain gauge () embedded in each of the pair of shaft parts ().
