Adjustable Mounting Bracket With Sliding Support Foot Lock
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bathroom installation mounting brackets fail to adjust the suspension height of components such as water tanks and toilet parts to meet user requirements during installation, as they maintain a constant height.
Innovation Solution
A mounting bracket with a sliding support foot and locking assembly that allows for adjustable height adjustment, featuring a bracket body with an accommodation cylinder and support foot made of aluminum, enabling the bracket to be locked in preset positions for varying heights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the mounting bracket uses a fixed structure, then the manufacturing and installation process is simple, but the suspension height cannot be adjusted to meet user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket transforms from a fixed static structure to a dynamic adjustable structure by incorporating a telescopic rod with movable segments. The rod allows height adjustment through extension and retraction mechanisms, enabling the bracket to adapt to different suspension height requirements while maintaining structural integrity through locking assemblies.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket is divided into multiple independent segments including the main bracket body, telescopic rod with extension segments, and locking assemblies. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while contributing to the overall height adjustment capability, making the complex function manageable through modular design.
2Ease of operation
If the mounting bracket incorporates height adjustment mechanism, then the suspension height can be customized, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The locking assembly is designed to automatically lock the telescopic rod at desired positions without requiring additional tools or complex operating procedures. The self-locking mechanism utilizes spring-loaded or friction-based locking elements that engage automatically when the rod is extended to a specific position, enabling easy height adjustment while maintaining structural stability.
3Reliability
If the mounting bracket uses additional surface treatments for corrosion resistance, then the corrosion protection is enhanced, but the manufacturing process and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket utilizes aluminum alloy materials that inherently provide good corrosion resistance without requiring additional surface treatments. The aluminum alloy composition is selected to offer both structural strength and natural protective properties, eliminating the need for complex surface treatment processes while maintaining high reliability in bathroom environments.

AI summary
A mounting bracket includes a bracket body (100), a locking assembly (200) and support foot (300). The bracket body is configured for component (a) installation. The locking assembly is arranged on the bracket body, and the support foot is arranged on the bracket body. The support foot is slide along the up and down direction of the bracket body, and the locking assembly is configured to lock the support foot at a preset position. Through the above structure, the support foot is installed on the ground and used to support the bracket body, and the locking assembly locks the support foot at a preset position to correspondingly adjust the height of the bracket body from the ground, so as to adjust the suspension height of the components installed on the bracket body.
