Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing frame-positioning devices are inefficient and cumbersome for mounting frames in walls, requiring separate devices for different frame sizes and lacking ergonomic and fast mounting solutions.
Innovation Solution
A frame-positioning device with adjustable width and height, featuring a rectangular shape with parallel connection regions and telescopic adjusting devices, allowing for secure and quick mounting by connecting to the frame's decorative trim and lining, and enabling easy adjustment and alignment using integrated spirit levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate devices are used for different frame sizes, then each device can be optimized for its specific frame type, but the overall mounting process becomes more complex and requires multiple tools
Solution Approach 1:
The frame positioning device is designed with adjustable width and height dimensions, allowing a single device to accommodate multiple frame sizes. The positioning element can be adjusted in width via telescopic adjustment devices and in height via adjustable feet, enabling one universal device to replace multiple specialized devices for different frame dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms including telescopic adjustment devices with locking mechanisms for width adjustment, and adjustable feet with locking mechanisms for height adjustment. These dynamic features allow the device to adapt its dimensions to match different frame sizes while maintaining stable positioning during the mounting process.
2Productivity
If traditional manual mounting methods are used, then simple tools are required, but the mounting process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The frame positioning device is pre-assembled with connection means already attached to the positioning element. The device allows for preliminary positioning and alignment of the frame before final fastening to the wall, enabling faster installation by reducing the number of separate steps required during mounting.
Solution Approach 2:
The device combines multiple functions into a single integrated system: the positioning element, connection means, adjustment devices, and spirit levels are all merged into one unit. This consolidation eliminates the need to handle multiple separate tools during the mounting process, improving productivity by reducing tool changes and handling time.
3Manufacturing precision
If separate adjustment devices are used for width and height, then precise adjustment is possible, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device implements precise adjustment locally at specific points: telescopic adjustment devices are positioned at the sides of the positioning element for width adjustment, and adjustable feet are positioned at the bottom for height adjustment. This localized approach to adjustment maintains structural simplicity while achieving precise alignment where it is most needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment devices serve as intermediary mechanisms between the operator and the positioning element. The telescopic adjustment devices and adjustable feet with locking mechanisms provide controlled, precise adjustment capability without requiring complex internal structures, acting as simple yet effective mediators for achieving accurate positioning.
4Adaptability or versatility
If fixed-size positioning devices are used, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot accommodate frames of varying sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning element transitions from a fixed-size component to a dynamically adjustable one through the integration of telescopic adjustment devices and adjustable feet. These dynamic components allow the device to change its width and height dimensions to accommodate different frame sizes while maintaining structural integrity through locking mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning element is segmented into adjustable sections: the width is divided into adjustable segments via telescopic mechanisms, and the height is segmented via adjustable feet. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of different dimensions without requiring complete redesign of the entire device structure, balancing adaptability with simplicity.
