Bracket for installing sink
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sink installation methods lack versatility and adjustability, leading to deformation and water leakage due to inadequate support, and require cumbersome customization during installation.
Innovation Solution
A bracket comprising a fixed base with a support rod that allows upward-downward adjustment and rotation, featuring a jacking structure for secure abutment against the sink's corner, enabling flexible installation angles and lengths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a fixed tripod is used to support the sink, then the bearing capacity of the table top is improved, but the adaptability to different installation environments is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod is designed with adjustable length and angle capabilities, transforming the fixed tripod into a dynamic support structure. The support rod can be adjusted to different lengths and angles to adapt to various installation environments while maintaining adequate bearing capacity for the sink.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod allows changes in geometric parameters (length and angle) to adapt to different installation scenarios. By adjusting these parameters, the bracket can accommodate various distances between the sink and wall, as well as different sink weights and configurations.
2Strength
If a fixed tripod is used to support the sink, then the bearing capacity is improved, but the installation complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable support rod enables dynamic adaptation during installation, eliminating the need for pre-customization. Installers can adjust the support rod to fit the actual installation conditions on-site, simplifying the installation process while maintaining structural strength.
3Ease of operation
If the sink is supported merely through the installing plate, then the installation simplicity is improved, but the reliability of the installation is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is segmented into multiple components: the fixed base mounted on the table top, the adjustable support rod, and the jacking structure. This segmentation allows the installing plate to remain simple for attachment to the sink, while the separate bracket system provides the additional structural support needed for reliability.
