Mounting device for semi-permanent mounting of electronic devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation process of wireless access points and routers is complicated for users due to the complexity of existing mounting devices, making it difficult for them to be properly installed.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with a mounting rack, support rack, and locking mechanism that allows for easy assembly by sliding the support rack into the locking mechanism, utilizing magnetic elements and elastic mechanisms to secure the device to the wall and prevent accidental detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional mounting devices are used, then the device can be mounted on the wall, but the installation process is complicated and difficult for users
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is divided into separate modular components: a mounting rack that attaches to the wall and a support rack that holds the electronic device. These segments can be independently assembled and connected through the locking mechanism, simplifying the overall installation process while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism serves as an intermediary component between the mounting rack and support rack. It provides a simple user interface (locking lever) that mediates the complex connection process, allowing users to securely fasten the device to the wall through a single intuitive action rather than dealing with multiple fastening operations
2Reliability
If the mounting device uses simple fastening methods, then the installation is easier, but the device may detach accidentally
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism incorporates localized high-strength features at critical connection points, including reinforced locking lever engagement points and strengthened joint areas between the mounting rack and support rack. This concentrates structural strength where needed most while keeping other parts of the device simpler and easier to assemble
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism transitions from a static connection state to a dynamic locking state through the movement of the locking lever. This dynamic action allows users to actively engage the secure attachment state, providing both ease of operation (simple lever movement) and reliability (positive locking engagement that prevents accidental detachment)

AI summary
A mounting device for quick and easy mounting of an electronic device includes a mounting rack, a locking mechanism, and a support rack. The locking mechanism includes a movable locking rack, a shaft connected to the locking rack, and a locking ring on the shaft. The support rack includes an engaging element and groove, and when the support rack is moved toward the mounting rack during mounting, the free end of the engaging element passes through the lower side of the locking rack, and pushes against the locking ring. When mounted on the mounting rack, the bottom of the locking ring is in the engaging groove. When the support rack is raised up, the engaging element raises the locking rack to the magnetic part, and the locking rack is magnetically held to the magnetic part.
