Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional mounting device is used, then the tank can be fixed to the wall, but the mounting process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is divided into separate functional components: a mounting plate with multiple mounting holes, adjustable positioning elements, and distinct fastening mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall mounting process while reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate is pre-configured with multiple mounting holes and positioning elements before installation. This preliminary preparation allows the installer to quickly select and adjust the desired mounting position without complex calculations or modifications during installation, significantly reducing mounting time and complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mounting position is fixed, then the manufacturing is simple, but the adaptability to different installation heights is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device incorporates adjustable positioning elements that allow the mounting plate to be positioned at different heights and locations on the wall. The adjustable support elements can be moved along guide rails or positioned at different angles, providing dynamic adaptability to various installation requirements while maintaining a relatively simple device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate is designed with multiple mounting holes arranged in different patterns and the support elements can accommodate various positioning requirements. This universal design allows the same mounting device to be used for different tank models and installation scenarios, enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Reliability
If the mounting device is made secure and stable, then the tank positioning is reliable, but the mounting process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device incorporates self-aligning features and self-locking mechanisms that automatically ensure proper positioning and secure attachment during installation. The mounting plate has built-in alignment guides that automatically position the tank correctly, and the fastening mechanisms automatically lock into place, providing reliable positioning without requiring complex adjustment procedures or specialized tools.

AI summary
A flushing tank (1) for a sanitary appliance comprising a container (2) and an adjustable mounting device (3) for fitting the container (2) onto a support wall; the device (3) comprises: a seat (4) formed on a wall (5) of the container (2); a mounting plate (6) insertable in the seat (4) and slidable in the seat (4) along a sliding axis (S) so as to axially change the position of the plate (6) with respect to the container (2); and at least one locking member (7) shaped so as to engage together the plate (6) and a hooking seat (14) formed on the wall (5) of the container (2) behind the plate, thus locking the plate (6) in a selected position in the seat (4) and hence at a predetermined height along the sliding axis (S).
