Locking Hanging Plate Structure to Prevent Sway and Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hanging plates experience back-and-forth swaying and separation from fixed plates when supporting heavy objects, leading to potential object damage.
Innovation Solution
A detachable hanging plate with a locking structure that includes a hanging plate body with a notch, a locking portion, and a hanging portion, which provides additional locking force and improved stability by embedding into a fixed plate's guide slot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a hanging plate is hooked with a fixed plate to provide supporting platform, then the hanging plate can support objects, but the hanging plate experiences back-and-forth swaying and may separate from the fixed plate when supporting heavy objects
Solution Approach 1:
The hanging plate is divided into functional segments: a hooking portion with guide slot for attachment, a locking portion with locking piece for stabilization, and a hanging portion for object support. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally, preventing swaying and separation while maintaining supporting strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking piece is preliminarily positioned on the locking portion and designed to automatically engage with the guide slot of the fixed plate during the hooking process. This preliminary positioning ensures that the locking mechanism is ready to prevent back-and-forth swaying before heavy objects are placed, enhancing reliability proactively.
2Reliability
If a locking structure is added to prevent separation, then the hooking stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking portion and locking piece are integrated as part of the hanging plate's body structure rather than being separate components. The locking piece is formed as an extension of the hanging plate, merging the locking function into the main structure and avoiding additional complex mechanisms while improving hooking stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking piece is designed to automatically engage with the guide slot of the fixed plate through the existing hooking motion, without requiring separate locking actions or additional mechanisms. The structure serves itself by utilizing the movement already required for attachment to simultaneously activate the locking function, simplifying the overall device.

AI summary
The present utility model belongs to the technical field of production of hanging plates, and discloses a detachable hanging plate with a locking structure. The detachable hanging plate includes a hanging plate body hooked with a guide slot of a fixed plate, where a notch allowing the external fixed plate to be embedded is formed in a side surface of the hanging plate body, thereby hooking the hanging plate body with the fixed plate; a locking portion penetrating through front and back surfaces of the hanging plate body is further arranged on a surface of the hanging plate body, the locking portion has a handheld end and an abutting end opposite to the handheld end, and an end surface of the abutting end is clamped with the guide slot of the external fixed plate, thereby locking the abutting end with the guide slot.
