Ceiling Fan Quick-Mount Bracket for Faster Secure Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of ceiling fan brackets is inconvenient and time-consuming due to the need to align and screw in multiple threaded holes, which complicates the process for installers.
Innovation Solution
A quick-mounting bracket structure with a pre-installed fastener in the junction box and aligning/fixing positions on the bracket, allowing for simplified alignment and fixation by inserting and screwing the fastener into designated holes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple threaded holes are aligned and screwed with bolts, then the bracket is securely fixed to the junction box, but the installation process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The fastener is pre-installed in the junction box before the bracket is mounted. This preliminary action eliminates the need for aligning multiple threaded holes during installation, as the fastener is already in position to receive the bracket's mounting hole. The installer only needs to insert the bracket and tighten the fastener, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining secure fixation.
2Reliability
If multiple threaded holes are aligned and screwed with bolts, then the bracket is securely fixed to the junction box, but the installation process becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The fastener is pre-installed in the junction box before the bracket is mounted. This preliminary action eliminates the need for aligning multiple threaded holes during installation, as the fastener is already in position to receive the bracket's mounting hole. The installer only needs to insert the bracket and tighten the fastener, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining secure fixation.
3Reliability
If two sets of threaded holes are employed for fixation, then the bracket is securely fixed to the junction box, but the alignment and screwing process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fastener is pre-installed in the junction box before the bracket is mounted. This preliminary action eliminates the need for aligning multiple threaded holes during installation, as the fastener is already in position to receive the bracket's mounting hole. The installer only needs to insert the bracket and tighten the fastener, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining secure fixation.
