Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed support bases or fixed clips are used to support fans, then the installation structure is simple, but the applicability is limited and user experience is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting leg is designed to be bendable and shapeable, allowing it to adapt to different installation scenarios and surfaces. The leg can be bent into various shapes (e.g., U-shape, L-shape) to fit different mounting environments, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adjusts to user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket assembly can be installed on multiple types of surfaces including shelves, desktops, and walls. The bendable supporting leg enables the same bracket assembly to serve multiple functions across different scenarios, making it a universal mounting solution for fans in various locations.
2Reliability
If fixed installation methods are used, then the installation process is straightforward, but the installation stability and adjustability are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket assembly is divided into separate components: the installation bracket and the detachable supporting leg. This segmentation allows the leg to be independently adjusted and shaped before attachment, enabling both ease of installation and stable, customized support once assembled.
3Adaptability or versatility
If bendable supporting legs are used to increase versatility, then the adaptability improves, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting leg incorporates a flexible protective sleeve that allows the leg to be bent and shaped while maintaining structural integrity. This flexible covering enables the simple metal wire to achieve complex shapes without requiring complex mechanical joints or components.

AI summary
A bracket assembly and a fan with a bracket assembly include: an installation bracket, the installation bracket being equipped with an installation part; and at least one bendable and shapeable supporting leg, the supporting leg being connected to the installation part. Therefore, users can connect the installation bracket to an external device, thereby attaching the bendable and shapeable supporting leg to the external device, so that the external device can be suspended or supported on an external object through the bendable and shapeable supporting leg. At the same time, a support angle of the supporting leg can be adjusted by bending the supporting leg to adjust an angle of the external device. Moreover, a total number of the supporting legs can be set to 3-10, so that the supporting legs can be combined with each other to form an octopus shape to provide stable support.
