Drawer part assembly and mounting fitting thereof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing drawer mounting systems lack versatility to accommodate diverse drawer wall structures, leading to inefficiencies in mounting and stability.
Innovation Solution
A mounting fitting with a first and second mounting portion, where the second portion is perpendicularly connected to divide the first portion into two parts, is attached to a first wall with a recess, allowing the second wall to be securely mounted between these parts, and includes a slide assembly with a carrier rail and notch for additional support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple fitting part is used to mount drawer walls, then the mounting process is simple, but the system lacks versatility to accommodate diverse drawer wall structures
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting fitting is designed with a L-shaped configuration comprising a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion that are substantially perpendicular to each other. The first mounting portion can be attached to different wall surfaces (side walls, rear walls, drawer bottoms) while the second mounting portion provides mounting capability in a perpendicular direction. This multi-directional mounting capability allows a single fitting design to accommodate various drawer wall structures and configurations, achieving universality without requiring multiple specialized fittings for different wall types.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a complex mounting system is designed to accommodate diverse drawer structures, then versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting fitting is segmented into two distinct mounting portions: a first mounting portion for attachment to a primary wall surface and a second mounting portion extending perpendicular to provide secondary mounting capability. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity. The fitting can be selectively attached to different walls (side wall, rear wall, or drawer bottom) with the second portion providing consistent perpendicular mounting, reducing the need for multiple complex specialized fittings.
3Ease of manufacture
If walls are mounted with basic attachment methods, then the manufacturing process is easy, but the stability and strength of the drawer assembly is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting fitting is pre-formed with a specific L-shaped geometry and structural configuration before assembly. The first mounting portion is designed with attachment features for secure fastening to the primary wall, while the second mounting portion is pre-positioned perpendicular to provide structural support and mounting capability in the orthogonal direction. This preliminary structuring of the fitting ensures that when assembled, it provides enhanced stability and strength to the drawer wall assembly without requiring complex manufacturing processes or additional reinforcement elements.

AI summary
A drawer part assembly includes first and second walls and a mounting fitting. The first wall includes a longitudinal section and a transverse section transversely connected to the longitudinal section. These two sections define a recess. The mounting fitting is attached to the first wall and includes first and second mounting portions, which are perpendicularly connected. The second mounting portion divides the first mounting portion into first and second portions. The second mounting portion is mounted in the recess. The longitudinal section of the first wall is allowed to press against the second portion of the first mounting portion. The second wall has an end portion mounted between the first portion and the second mounting portion of the mounting fitting.
