Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bracket connection structures are cumbersome for assembly and disassembly, and they often require complex cabling for electronic equipment, leading to chaotic wiring and management issues.

Innovation Solution

A bracket connection structure featuring symmetrically disposed jacks and convex clasps that allow for quick and stable connection between supporting and fixed pieces, with integrated electric connection sheets to reduce wire usage and simplify cabling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If connection pieces such as screws are used to connect supporting pieces and fixed pieces, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembling and disassembling process becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidassembling and disassembling convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is divided into two functional parts: insertion portions for initial engagement and clamping portions for final locking. This segmentation allows the connection process to occur in two stages, where the insertion portion enables easy initial connection while the clamping portion provides strong locking, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of assembly and connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The clamping portions are designed to transition from a loose state during insertion to a tight clamping state after connection. This dynamic transformation allows the structure to be easy to assemble initially, then automatically strengthens itself through the clamping action, resolving the contradiction between assembly convenience and connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If fasteners are knocked into fastener holes for fixed connection, then the connection stability is improved, but the matching connection with movable pieces provided with hooks cannot be realized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidmatching connection compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The jack structure serves multiple functions: it provides stable fixed connection when used with fasteners, and simultaneously enables matching connection with movable pieces equipped with hooks. The universal design of the insertion and clamping portions allows compatibility with different connection types, resolving the contradiction between connection stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Use of energy by moving object

If power lines are directly led to corresponding shelves for charging equipment, then the power supply function is improved, but chaotic cabling occurs on the shelf and in warehouse

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply functionVSAvoidcabling management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure merges the mechanical connection function with the electrical connection function into a single integrated component. By combining the jack mechanism with power supply integration, the patent eliminates the need for separate power lines, thus providing power supply function while avoiding chaotic cabling and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention discloses a bracket connection structure, used for connecting a supporting piece with a fixed piece of a bracket. The bracket connection structure includes at least one group of connection hole structures arranged on the supporting piece and at least one group of convex structures arranged on the fixed piece. Jacks include insertion portions and clamping portions which are communicated with each other. A clearance of the clamping portions is smaller than that of the insertion portions. Convex clasps are inserted into the insertion portions and move to be clamped into the clamping portions. Further, corresponding positions on the back surfaces of the jacks are all provided with electric connection sheets connected to an external power supply. The present invention further provides a bracket, including a supporting piece and a fixed piece. The supporting piece and the fixed piece are connected through the bracket connection structure.
