Wall Cupboard Suspension with Split Height and Depth Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing suspension groups for wall cupboards are cumbersome due to integrated regulation organs that interfere with internal space, particularly in cupboards with drawers or hinged doors, and lack independent vertical and horizontal regulation, making precise positioning difficult and assembly lengthy.
Innovation Solution
Separating vertical and horizontal regulation organs, with one associated with the hanging bracket device and the other with the wall support, reducing encumbrance and allowing independent adjustments for enhanced flexibility and simplicity in assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If regulation organs are integrated into the hanging bracket device, then vertical and horizontal regulation functions are provided, but the device becomes cumbersome and occupies excessive internal space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the regulation system into two separate parts: a hanging bracket device for horizontal regulation and a wall support for vertical regulation. This segmentation eliminates the need for integrated regulation organs within the hanging bracket, thereby reducing the volume occupied inside the cupboard while maintaining both vertical and horizontal regulation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The vertical regulation organ is extracted from the hanging bracket device and relocated to the wall support. This extraction removes the cumbersome regulation mechanism from the internal space of the cupboard, allowing the hanging bracket to remain compact and simple while the wall support handles vertical positioning.
2Adaptability or versatility
If integrated regulation organs are used in the hanging bracket device, then both vertical and horizontal regulation are possible, but assembly becomes lengthy due to interdependent adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the regulation functions into independent components (hanging bracket for horizontal, wall support for vertical), the patent enables independent adjustment of each position without affecting the other. This eliminates the need for iterative, interdependent adjustments that characterize integrated systems, thereby significantly reducing assembly time.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall support is pre-installed on the wall with its vertical regulation mechanism in place before the hanging bracket is attached. This preliminary action allows the vertical position to be set in advance, so that when the hanging bracket is subsequently installed for horizontal regulation, no iterative adjustments are needed, streamlining the overall assembly process.
3Volume of moving object
If the hanging bracket device is made compact to reduce encumbrance, then internal space is freed, but regulation precision may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assigns different regulation functions to different components: the hanging bracket device handles horizontal regulation with simplified mechanics, while the wall support handles vertical regulation with a dedicated mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function, maintaining positioning precision without requiring a large integrated mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall support acts as an intermediary that provides the vertical regulation function externally, allowing the hanging bracket device to remain compact while still achieving precise overall positioning. The wall support's regulation mechanism serves as a mediator that complements the simplified hanging bracket without compromising total system precision.
