Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional bolts are used to fasten heavy wireless routers, then the connection strength is sufficient, but the installation complexity and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening bracket is divided into multiple functional components: a base for mounting, a connection unit with inclined surface, and abutting portions. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall installation process while maintaining connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection unit acts as an intermediary mechanism between the base and the object. It includes a unit inclined surface and unit abutting portion that mediate the fastening process, allowing the object to be securely attached through a simple pushing motion rather than requiring multiple bolts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple bolts are used to fasten the wireless router, then the security and stability improve, but the installation time and effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefastening reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connection unit is pre-configured with the unit inclined surface and unit abutting portion in the base. This preliminary arrangement ensures that when the object is pushed into place, the fastening action occurs automatically without requiring additional steps, reducing installation time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening mechanism is designed to be self-actuating. When the object is pushed upward or rotated slightly, the object abutting portion automatically engages with the unit abutting portion through the inclined surface, completing the fastening process without requiring external tools or multiple users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Strength

If multiple users are required for installation, then the fastening process can be completed with conventional bolts, but the operational simplicity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefastening capabilityVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening bracket is designed to be self-servicing during installation. The connection unit with its inclined surface and abutting portions enables a single user to complete the fastening by simply pushing the object upward or rotating it slightly, eliminating the need for multiple users or complex bolt assembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Reliability

If conventional fastening methods are used, then the connection is secure, but the process requires significant time and effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidinstallation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection unit is pre-assembled with the unit inclined surface and unit abutting portion positioned in the base. This preliminary configuration ensures that the fastening action occurs in a single motion when the object is pushed into place, dramatically improving installation efficiency while maintaining connection stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the fastening parameter from multiple bolt insertions to a single pushing or rotating motion. The unit inclined surface converts the pushing motion into the engagement of the object abutting portion with the unit abutting portion, achieving secure fastening with a single action and significantly improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A fastening bracket is provided. The fastening bracket is adapted to be affixed to a mounting surface and connected to an object. The fastening bracket includes a base and a connection unit. The base is for being affixed to the mounting surface. The connection unit is connected to the base, wherein the connection unit includes a unit inclined surface and at least one unit abutting portion. The object includes at least one object abutting portion. When the object is in a separated state, the object abutting portion is separated from the unit abutting portion, and when the object is in a connected state, the object abutting portion abuts the unit abutting portion. While the object is being moved from the separated state to the connected state, the object abuts the unit inclined surface and slides relative to the unit inclined surface.
