Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of window air conditioners is hindered by the poor convenience of existing mounting pole assembly structures, which are cumbersome and difficult to install.
Innovation Solution
A mounting bracket for window air conditioners featuring a support body, support leg, and support foot, with a mounting pole assembly that includes a sliding channel and locking mechanism, allowing for easy adjustment and secure fixation of the air conditioner.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional mounting pole assembly is used to support the window air conditioner, then the air conditioner can be mounted on the window, but the installation process becomes cumbersome and difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is divided into multiple functional segments: a support body for mounting on the window, a support leg with adjustable length, and a support foot for wall contact. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall installation process by making the structure more manageable and adaptable to different installation scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The support leg incorporates an adjustable length mechanism that allows the bracket to adapt to different window-to-wall distances. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the mounting bracket to accommodate various installation environments, significantly improving installation convenience while maintaining stable support.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support leg length is fixed, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to different window-to-wall distances
Solution Approach 1:
The support leg transforms from a fixed structure to a dynamically adjustable component. The adjustable length mechanism allows the support leg to be extended or retracted to match different window-to-wall distances, providing versatility without significantly complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The key parameter of the support leg (length) is made variable rather than fixed. By enabling length adjustment, the mounting bracket can adapt to various installation scenarios. The parameter change is achieved through a relatively simple mechanical adjustment mechanism that does not substantially increase device complexity.
