Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fixed suspension mechanism and a chassis using the fixed suspension mechanism, and more particularly to an adjustable fixed suspension mechanism and a chassis using the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism. Prior Technology

[0002] When setting up or installing equipment and devices, some devices often need to be externally installed in specific locations, such as being suspended from a specific wall or other installation. To ensure the secure and stable installation of such external equipment, semi-permanent or even permanent installation methods with strong connection strength are often used. However, in some cases where the adjustability of external equipment is considered, simpler hanging installation mechanisms may also be used.

[0003] However, existing hanging mounting mechanisms still cannot provide a reliable solution for the needs of external devices when the size of the external device itself or its installation position needs to be further adjusted. For example, when the housing size of the external device needs to be changed, a suitable mounting mechanism must be replaced to accommodate the new housing size (even if the mounting mechanism is not damaged). It may also be necessary to form other mounting structures on the mounting surface (such as additional drilling) to accommodate the new mounting mechanism, making such adjustment work cumbersome and complex, and potentially wasting resources on the mounting mechanism.

[0004] Therefore, the flexible application of existing suspension mounting mechanisms is still quite limited and needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an adjustable fixed suspension mechanism and a chassis using the same, which, in addition to providing a stable installation effect for mounting or suspension, further has the function of adjusting the suspension arm, and can be adjusted for chassis shells of different widths or dimensions.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide an adjustable fixed suspension mechanism, including at least two hangers, a connector, and a plurality of locking fasteners. Each hanger has a slot and a first connecting hole located on one side of the slot. The connector includes a first connecting portion for connecting to the structural surface and a second connecting portion for connecting to the object being hung, with an included angle between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion has two second connecting holes, and the second connecting portion has at least one fixing hole. One of the second connecting holes is aligned with the first connecting hole of one of the hangers, and the other second connecting hole is aligned with the first connecting hole of another hanger. One locking fastener is sequentially inserted through one of the first connecting holes and one of the second connecting holes and locked into the structural surface to lock one of the hangers and the connector together. Another locking fastener is sequentially inserted into another first connecting hole and another second connecting hole and locked into the structural surface to secure another hanging member and the connecting member together. Two more locking fasteners are respectively inserted into two slots and locked into the structural surface, and at least one locking fastener is inserted into at least one fixing hole and locked into the object being hung, so that the object being hung and the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism are integrated.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, each of the pendants includes a support portion and a lug extending from one side of the support portion.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the slot is formed in the support portion, and the first connecting hole is formed in the lug portion.

[0009] In an embodiment of the invention, the length of the slot along the total length of the hanger is one-third to one-half of the length of the hanger.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, the number of the second connecting holes is greater than or equal to the number of the pendant.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present invention, the locking device includes a screw and a nut.

[0013] In an embodiment of the invention, the fastener further includes a clamping member having a locking hole and a clamping end, the locking hole being configured to allow the screw to pass through and engage with the screw, and the clamping end being configured to press against the screw to clamp the screw.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present invention, a turning portion is provided between the support portion and the lug portion, the turning portion forming a relief recess structure with a depth in the hanger, and the depth of the relief recess structure is the same as the thickness of the first connecting portion of the connector.

[0015] In embodiments of the present invention, each of the plurality of locking devices is of the same type.

[0016] In embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of such locking devices include different types of locking devices.

[0017] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a chassis, which includes the aforementioned adjustable fixed suspension mechanism, and the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism is locked to one of the top surfaces of the chassis by a plurality of locking fasteners.

[0018] In general, the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism provided by the present invention can achieve the function of adjusting the force arm through a combination of technical solutions including the following features: "two hangers, each hanger having a slot and a first connecting hole located on one side of the slot", "the first connecting part having two second connecting holes, the second connecting part having at least one fixing hole; wherein one of the second connecting holes is aligned with the first connecting hole of one of the hangers, and the other second connecting hole is aligned with the first connecting hole of another hanger", "a locking fastener is sequentially inserted through one of the first connecting holes and one of the second connecting holes and locked into the structural surface to lock one of the hangers and the connecting part together", and "two locking fasteners are respectively inserted through the two slots and locked into the structural surface, and at least one locking fastener is inserted through at least one fixing hole and locked into the hung object". This eliminates the need to replace the entire fixed suspension mechanism and avoids resource waste.

[0027] [Example]

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2, which respectively show a perspective view of one application scenario and a perspective view of one embodiment of the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z of the present invention. The adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z is suitable for fixing an object O to a structural surface S. In a specific embodiment, the object O may be an external device that performs a specific function, and the structural surface S may be, for example, a surface or wall of a building or another device. The adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z includes at least two hangers 1, a connector 2, and a plurality of locking fasteners 3, 4, and 5, each hanger 1 having a slot 111. By using the locking fasteners 3 and 4 to establish a connection between the hanger 1, the connector 2, and the object O, and by using the locking fasteners 5 and the slot 111 to lock the hanger 1 to the structural surface S, the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z can have the function of adjusting the suspension arm, which not only provides more flexibility for the suspension installation of the object O, but also optimizes the suspension force of the object O.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3, which shows an exploded perspective view of one embodiment of the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z of the present invention. Each hanger 1 includes a support portion 11 and a lug portion 12, which are formed by extending outward relative to each other. A slot 111 is formed on the support portion 11, and a first connecting hole 121 is formed on the lug portion, and the first connecting hole 121 and the slot 111 are arranged to pass through the hanger 1. The slot 111 has a substantially elongated shape and extends along the length direction of the hanger 1, and in a certain embodiment, the length of the slot 111 along the length direction of the hanger 1 is one-third to one-half of the length of the hanger 1. In addition, the arrangement position of the first connecting hole 121 and the slot 111 on the support portion 11 and the lug portion 12 is not limited. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the first connecting hole 121 and the slot 111 can be far apart from each other on the hanger 1, or they can be arranged close to the geometric center of the hanger 1. Furthermore, although the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z shown in Figure 3 uses two hangers 1, the number of hangers 1 can be increased according to actual usage needs.

[0030] The connector 2 includes a first connecting portion 21 and a second connecting portion 22 that are structurally connected to each other, and the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 have an included angle. In a specific embodiment, the included angle between the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 may be 90 degrees, or the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 may be perpendicular to each other. The first connecting portion 21 is provided with a second connecting hole 211, and the number of second connecting holes 211 may be adjusted to correspond to the number of hangers 1 used in the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z, and may be greater than or equal to the number of hangers 1. The second connecting portion 22 is provided with at least one fixing hole 221.

[0031] Fasteners 3, 4, and 5 are used for the assembly and connection between the hanger 1 and the connector 2, the connector 2 and the object O to be hung, and the hanger 1 and the structural surface S, respectively. Specifically, fastener 3 is configured to lock the hanger 1 and the connector 2 together through the first connecting hole 121 and the second connecting hole 211; fastener 4 is configured to lock the connector 2 and the object O (not shown in Figure 3) together through the fixing hole 221; and fastener 5 is configured to lock the hanger 1 onto the structural surface S through the slot 111.

[0032] In addition, in certain embodiments, locking elements 3, 4, and 5 may individually include first locking units 31, 41, and 51 and second locking units 32, 42, and 52. The first locking units 31, 41, and 51 and the second locking units 32, 42, and 52 have corresponding locking mechanism forms (e.g., threads, screws, and nuts) such that when the first locking units 31, 41, and 51 are combined with the second locking units 32, 42, and 52, they can be locked together.

[0033] In addition, in certain embodiments, locking members 3, 4, and 5 may each further include a clamping member (not shown in the figures). The clamping member may include a locking hole and a clamping end. The first locking units 31, 41, and 51 may pass through the locking hole and be screwed into it, while the clamping end may press against the first locking units 31, 41, and 51 to clamp them. In this way, the locking force and locking stability of locking members 3, 4, and 5 can be further enhanced.

[0034] Furthermore, in certain embodiments, locking devices 3, 4, and 5 may be of the same type, or may include different types of locking devices. Specifically, locking devices 3, 4, and 5 may have the same locking mechanism features, or may include a combination of different locking mechanism features.

[0035] Next, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the assembly method of the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism Z and its installation with the object O and the structural surface S will be described. The first connecting hole 121 of the hanger 1 and the second connecting hole 211 of the connector 2 are aligned with each other, and the first connecting portions 21 of the hanger 1 and the connector 2 are overlapped and locked together with the fastener 3. In addition, referring to Figure 4, in order to form a structural surface structure that is parallel to and can be completely overlapped with the structural surface S after the first connecting portions 21 of the hanger 1 and the connector 2 are overlapped, the hanger 1 may further include a turning portion 13 located between the support portion 11 and the lug portion 12. The turning portion 13 causes the end of the hanger 1 with the first connecting hole 121 and its opposite end to be offset along the thickness direction of the hanger 1, and thus forms a recessed structure on the hanger 1 that can accommodate the connector 2. The recessed structure has a depth d, and the dimension of the depth d is the same as the thickness t of the first connecting portion 21 of the connector 2. In this way, when the pendant 1 and the connector 2 are locked together by the fastener 3, the back side of the first connecting part 21 of the connector 2 and the back side of the pendant 1 are located on the same plane.

[0036] The fixing hole 221 of the connector 2 can be aligned with the corresponding mounting hole (not shown in the figure) on the object O, and the second connecting part 22 of the connector 2 is overlapped with the object O and locked together with the fastener 4. It should be understood that there is no specific limitation on the number of fixing holes 221, as long as it is greater than or equal to the number of mounting holes on the object O and ensures that the locking force between the object O and the connector 2 is sufficient.

[0037] The hanger 1 is secured to the structural surface S by passing the fastener 5 through the slot 111 and the hole structure (not shown) on the structural surface S. Advantageously, due to the elongated shape of the slot 111, the fastener 5 can be positioned at any position within the elongated slot 111. Therefore, during installation and securing operations, the hanger 1 can move relative to the fastener 5 and the hole structure on the structural surface S, thereby adjusting the suspension lever arm. For example, the hanger 1 can be moved outwards before the fastener 5 is locked, so that the fastener 5 is located on the relatively inner side of the slot 111 (e.g., near the first connecting hole 121), and at the same time, the hanger 1 and the connector 2 are properly secured, which reduces the lever arm of the gravitational torque of the hung object O, thus achieving the effect of reducing the gravitational torque. Alternatively, when it is necessary to replace the connector 2 with a different width, the hanger 1 can be moved directly relative to the locking fastener 5 which is not yet locked and is fitted in the slot 111, so that the first connecting hole 121 of the hanger 1 is aligned with the second connecting hole 211 on the first connecting part 21 of the connector 2 and locked with the locking fastener 3.

[0038] In this way, the suspension / installation stress and position of the object O can be adjusted without the need to form other structures on the structural surface S (such as additional drilling). It can also accommodate connectors 2 with different widths, giving more flexibility when installing externally mounted objects O.

[0039] [Beneficial Effects of the Examples]

[0040] The adjustable fixed suspension mechanism provided by the present invention can achieve the function of adjusting the force arm by combining the following technical solutions: "two hangers, each hanger having a slot and a first connecting hole located on one side of the slot"; "the first connecting part has two second connecting holes, the second connecting part has at least one fixing hole; one of the second connecting holes is aligned with the first connecting hole of one of the hangers, and the other second connecting hole is aligned with the first connecting hole of another hanger"; "a locking fastener is sequentially inserted through one of the first connecting holes and one of the second connecting holes and locked into the structural surface to lock one of the hangers and the connecting part together"; and "two locking fasteners are respectively inserted through the two slots and locked into the structural surface, and at least one locking fastener is inserted through at least one fixing hole and locked into the hung object". This eliminates the need to replace the entire fixed suspension mechanism and avoids resource waste.

[0041] Compared to conventional suspension mechanisms, the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism of the present invention allows for a simpler adjustment of the position of the suspension mechanism relative to the connecting member on the mounting surface. Furthermore, adjustments do not require additional mounting holes or structural features on the mounting surface; existing mounting holes can be used directly. Therefore, the adjustable fixed suspension mechanism of the present invention is suitable for mounting objects of different widths or lengths, offering high flexibility in application and eliminating the resource waste associated with conventional methods that require replacing and discarding the entire suspension structure when changing the size of the mounted object.
