Hinged Communication Mount With Rotation Limiting Stop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Communication devices installed at high outdoor locations often experience instability due to the upper mounting member not being fixedly connected, leading to rotation and impact forces that can cause the device to detach from the lower mounting member, resulting in potential falls.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device with an upper mounting member, a lower mounting member, and a limiting mechanism that restricts the rotation of the fixing portion relative to the hinge portion by a preset angle, reducing the impact force transferred to the lower mounting member and ensuring stable fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the upper mounting member is not fixedly connected to the communication device, then the communication device can be installed more easily, but the communication device will rotate and collide, transferring impact force to the lower mounting member and causing it to become disconnected
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge portion and limiting mechanism are pre-configured to cushion and limit the rotation of the fixing portion, preventing excessive impact force from being transmitted to the lower mounting member's connection points. This prior cushioning arrangement allows easy installation while preventing disconnection during operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fixing portion is allowed to rotate freely relative to the hinge portion, then the device can adapt to installation angle variations, but the communication device may collide and transfer harmful impact forces to the lower mounting member
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting mechanism is pre-configured to apply counter-action against the rotation of the fixing portion, preventing the communication device from rotating beyond a safe angle. This preliminary anti-action counteracts the harmful impact force before it can be fully transmitted to the lower mounting member, while still allowing controlled rotation for installation adaptability.

AI summary
Disclosed is a fixing device for fixing a communication device, including an upper mounting member, a lower mounting member, and at least one limiting mechanism fixed to the upper mounting member and/or the lower mounting member; the lower mounting member including a fixing portion fixed to the lower end of the communication device and a hinge portion hinged to the fixing portion; and the limiting mechanism configured to limit the fixing portion from continuing to rotate relative to the hinge portion in response to that the upper mounting member is not fixedly connected to the communication device and the fixing portion rotates a preset angle relative to the hinge portion along a preset path, the preset angle is greater than 0° and less than 140°. A communication apparatus is also disclosed.
