Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require different connection members for installation in various environments, such as walls, tables, and ceilings, necessitating multiple preparations for secure fixation.

Innovation Solution

A composite fixed bracket comprising a device-end bracket, a fixed-end bracket, and an auxiliary fixing bracket, with rotating and sliding-connecting parts, allowing for versatile fixation through screws, rivets, or drywall anchors on surfaces, and engagement with frames or cylindrical bodies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different connection members (screws, rivets, drywall anchors, fasteners) are prepared for different installation environments, then the electronic device can be securely fixed on various surfaces (wall, table, ceiling), but the device complexity and preparation requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation environment adaptabilityVSAvoidconnection members preparation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixed bracket is designed with multiple types of connection members integrated into a single structure, enabling it to function as different types of connectors (screws, rivets, drywall anchors, fasteners) depending on the installation environment. This multi-functional design allows the same bracket to be securely installed on various surfaces (walls, tables, ceilings) without requiring separate preparation of different connection members, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity

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

2Device complexity

If a single fixed bracket design is used for all installation environments, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different surfaces and frames is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket structureVSAvoidfixation method variety
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The fixed bracket is segmented into multiple functional components, each capable of performing different fixation methods. The bracket includes structures that can be configured to work with screws, rivets, drywall anchors, and fasteners, as well as engagement features for frames and cylindrical bodies. This segmentation allows a single bracket design to provide multiple fixation methods without significantly increasing overall complexity, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A composite fixed bracket includes a device-end bracket, a fixed-end bracket and an auxiliary fixing bracket. The device-end bracket has first rotating-connecting parts and device connection parts connecting an electronic device. The fixed-end bracket has second rotating-connecting parts, first sliding-connecting parts and hole parts. The first and the second rotating-connecting parts are relatively rotated to fit and connect to each other for fixing the fixed-end and device-end brackets. The fixed-end bracket is located between the device-end bracket and the auxiliary fixing bracket. The auxiliary fixing bracket includes two fixing units, and each fixing unit includes two second sliding-connecting parts, an engaging part and a ring-fixing part. The second sliding-connecting parts are connected to the first sliding-connecting parts respectively, so the fixing units are slidably connected to the fixed-end bracket.
