Detachable Mounting Structure for Grip-Friendly Panel Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fastening methods for metal panel members in telecommunication cabinets and machine tools require additional grips for handling, which occupy surface area and increase height, leading to increased material costs and reduced utilization efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A detachable mounting device featuring a funnel-shaped mounting member with a fastening mechanism that includes a base portion, an extension portion, an accommodation chamber, a mounting through hole, and a fastening member with a head and shank, allowing secure attachment to a panel member without occupying excessive surface area, enabling easy grip and handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a grip is installed on the panel member to enable convenient handling, then the ease of operation is improved, but the surface area occupied increases and material cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the grip function with the mounting member structure itself. The mounting member includes a base portion with a predetermined width that serves both as the mounting base and as the gripping surface. This eliminates the need for a separate grip component, thereby providing convenient handling while minimizing surface area occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting member is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides the mounting base for securing components to the panel member, and simultaneously serves as the gripping element for convenient handling. The base portion's width is specifically designed to be grippable by hand while maintaining structural integrity for mounting purposes.
2Ease of operation
If a grip is installed on the panel member to enable convenient handling, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines the grip function with the mounting member structure itself. The mounting member includes a base portion with a predetermined width that serves both as the mounting base and as the gripping surface. This eliminates the need for a separate grip component, thereby providing convenient handling while minimizing surface area occupation.
3Ease of operation
If the mounting member has a wide base portion for easy gripping, then the ease of operation is improved, but the height of the mounting structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention addresses the height constraint by designing the mounting member with a wide base portion that extends in the horizontal dimension rather than increasing vertical height. The base portion's width provides sufficient gripping surface area while the overall height of the mounting structure is minimized by keeping the mounting portion compact.

AI summary
Detachable mounting device includes mounting member defining therein accommodation open chamber, mounting through hole, annular inside flange between accommodation open chamber and mounting through hole and annular positioning groove between annular inside flange and mounting through hole, and fastening member having head positioned in the annular positioning groove and fastening shank suspending in the mounting through hole and adapted for fastening to mating connection member of predetermined panel member to secure the mounting member to the predetermined panel member. The outer diameter of the fastening member is larger than the inner diameter of the annular inside flange and the inner diameter of the mounting through hole, so that the fastening member is prohibited from falling out of the annular positioning groove. The wide top and narrow bottom design of the mounting member facilitates user holding the base portion with the hand to lift and delivery the predetermined panel member conveniently.
