Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hanging plate and hanging piece assemblies are prone to instability, causing articles to fall off and damage, and lack the ability to be infinitely spliced for practical applications, leading to inefficiencies in installation and use.

Innovation Solution

A hanging plate assembly with uniformly distributed first and second through holes, featuring hooks and bulges for secure attachment, and fixed pieces that pass through these holes to firmly mount the hanging piece, preventing it from falling and allowing for infinite splicing of plates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If hanging pieces are simply hung on the hanging plate through respective hooks, then the installation is simple, but the hanging pieces are easy to shake and unstable causing articles to fall off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidhanging stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging plate is divided into modular units with through holes arranged in specific patterns, allowing the hanging piece to be segmented into multiple attachment points (first hooks on first through holes, second hooks on second through holes). This segmentation provides both simple installation through modular assembly and enhanced stability through multiple distributed attachment points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging piece structure nests multiple attachment mechanisms within a single component: first hooks that fit into first through holes, second hooks that fit into second through holes, and positioning features that fit into third through holes. This nested design allows simple single-component installation while achieving complex stable fixation through the nested engagement of multiple features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If hanging pieces are firmly fixed on the hanging plate, then the articles are stable and unlikely to fall off, but the installation becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging stabilityVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging piece is designed with multiple hooks and positioning features that can engage with different types of through holes (first, second, and third through holes) in the hanging plate. This multi-functionality allows a single hanging piece design to achieve firm stable fixation through various engagement configurations without requiring different components for different installation scenarios, thus avoiding installation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging piece is pre-configured with first hooks, second hooks, and positioning features in specific arrangements before installation. This preliminary configuration allows the installer to simply attach the pre-prepared hanging piece to the hanging plate without needing to perform complex assembly operations during installation, achieving firm fixation through the pre-designed engagement geometry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If the hanging plates cannot be spliced infinitely, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to practical situations is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidsplicing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging plate design incorporates multiple types of through holes (first, second, and third through holes) that can serve different functions: first through holes for basic hanging, second through holes for enhanced attachment, and third through holes for positioning. This multi-functionality in a single plate design provides adaptability to various practical situations while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of a unified plate geometry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging plate is designed with regularly spaced through holes that create modular attachment zones, allowing multiple plates to be spliced together in infinite configurations. Each plate maintains simple individual structure, but the segmented hole pattern enables versatile splicing capabilities to adapt to different display requirements and practical situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
