Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image forming devices with installation frames hinder the normal installation of processing boxes in an inclined manner, causing inconvenience to users.
Innovation Solution
A processing box with deflectable deflection sliders and a linkage assembly that allows for tilted installation and alignment within the image forming device's installation frame, using rotation shafts and elastic members to facilitate easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the processing box is installed in an inclined manner using a guide portion on the installation frame, then the installation guidance is improved, but the processing box cannot be normally installed in image forming devices with installation frames
Solution Approach 1:
The deflection slider is designed to be movable relative to the housing during installation, allowing the processing box to dynamically adjust its position and orientation. The slider can deflect to accommodate the guide portion of the installation frame during inclined installation, then stabilize once properly positioned, resolving the contradiction between installation guidance and compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The deflection slider acts as an intermediary component between the processing box housing and the installation frame. It mediates the interaction by providing a flexible interface that can adapt to the guide portion's constraints while allowing the main housing to remain stable, enabling both inclined installation guidance and compatibility with the installation frame.
2Ease of operation
If the processing box is installed vertically or parallel, then the installation is simple, but the processing box cannot be installed in an inclined manner
Solution Approach 1:
The deflection slider provides dynamic adjustment capability that allows the processing box to be installed in multiple orientations. During inclined installation, the slider deflects to accommodate the angle, while during vertical or parallel installation, the slider remains in its neutral position, maintaining simplicity for traditional installation methods while enabling inclined installation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The deflection slider changes its positional parameter relative to the housing based on the installation orientation. It can deflect to specific positions to accommodate inclined installation angles while returning to its original position for vertical or parallel installation, allowing the system to adapt to different installation parameters without compromising simplicity or versatility.

AI summary
A processing box, comprising a housing, the housing comprising two end plates located at two opposite ends; and deflectable deflection sliders, being provided at the bottom of the housing, the deflection sliders being provided on the housing by means of a rotating shaft, and being able to rotate on the surface of the bottom wall of the housing. When the processing box is mounted in an image forming device by means of a mounting bracket on the image forming device, the deflection sliders cooperate with a guide portion of the mounting bracket and deflect in accordance with the guide portion of the mounting bracket, so that the processing box can be deflected firstly relative to the image forming device and then be placed properly, thereby facilitating the mounting of the processing box.
