Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flush-mounting boxes for touch-screen devices lack precise adjustment capabilities, leading to difficulties in coupling and mounting due to approximate recess depth construction, causing installation challenges and compatibility issues.
Innovation Solution
A flush-mounting box with removably coupled spacer elements that define multiple support planes, allowing for adjustable recess depth and easy installation of touch-screen devices, combined with clip elements for snap engagement and progressive adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the box is flush-mounted at a determined distance from the bottom wall, then the touch-screen device can be easily coupled to or uncoupled from the bracket, but the adjustment of the recess depth is very approximate and not precise
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into multiple adjustable support elements that can be individually positioned at different depths. This allows the recess depth to be precisely adjusted by selecting appropriate support element lengths, resolving the contradiction between ease of coupling and manufacturing precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the parameter of support element length to adjust the recess depth. By providing support elements with different lengths or adjustable length settings, the system achieves precise depth control while maintaining ease of coupling operations.
2Manufacturing precision
If an error of a few millimetres occurs in the construction of the housing seat, then the touch-screen device becomes difficult to couple or not coupable with the bracket, but increasing precision increases complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The support elements are designed to be adjustable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adaptation to housing seat variations. This adjustability compensates for manufacturing errors without requiring high-precision construction, thereby maintaining simplicity while achieving compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
By allowing changes in support element parameters (length, position), the system accommodates variations in housing seat construction without increasing overall device complexity. The adjustable parameters provide tolerance for manufacturing errors.
3Device complexity
If fixed support elements are used, then the structure is simple, but the adjustment of recess depth is approximate and installation is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into multiple independent support elements that can be selectively adjusted. This segmentation maintains relative structural simplicity while enabling precise depth adjustment for easier installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The support elements transition from fixed to adjustable, providing dynamic adaptability that simplifies installation by allowing precise depth matching without complex overall restructuring.
