Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounting systems for electrical devices in control cabinets lack flexibility and ease of use, particularly in arranging connecting lines, and do not offer sufficient versatility and performance characteristics.
Innovation Solution
A modular mounting system with interchangeable segments of varying lengths, made from insulating materials, that can be easily connected and disconnected along a horizontal mounting web, allowing for on-site adaptation to different device configurations and line arrangements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed arrangement means is used for organizing connecting lines, then the initial arrangement is stable, but the system lacks flexibility for different device configurations and line dimensions
Solution Approach 1:
The arrangement means is divided into multiple interchangeable order segments of different lengths (short, medium, long) that can be detached and replaced on the assembly web. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to different device configurations and connecting line dimensions without requiring a completely different arrangement means, thus improving versatility while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized segment designs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the entire arrangement means is replaced to accommodate different line dimensions, then all line arrangements can be optimized, but the installation time and effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the arrangement means into detachable order segments, the system allows selective replacement of only the necessary segments rather than the entire arrangement means. This enables quick adaptation to different line dimensions at the point of use, significantly reducing installation time and effort while maintaining full adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The arrangement means transitions from a static, fixed structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable system where segments can be easily detached and replaced. This dynamic capability allows the system to adapt to different device configurations and line dimensions on-site without requiring complete disassembly or lengthy installation procedures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If order segments of different lengths are provided for different line dimensions, then the system offers maximum versatility, but the inventory and selection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The arrangement means is segmented into standardized order segments with defined length categories (short, medium, long) that correspond to different connecting line dimensions. This segmentation provides versatility for accommodating various line sizes while maintaining ease of handling through consistent segment designs and standardized attachment mechanisms that simplify selection and installation.

AI summary
The invention relates to a mounting system (1) for arranging electric devices (2), for example, especially in switchgear cabinets. Said mounting system (1) comprises at least one preferably horizontal mounting strip (3) to which at least one device (2) can be secured. The mounting system (1) further comprises an ordering means (8) which can be connected to the mounting strip (3) and is used for ordering the connecting wires (34, 35) of the device (2) that is to be secured to the mounting strip (3). The invention is characterized in that the ordering means (8) has a plurality of ordering segments (7, 9, 11) along the longitudinal direction of the mounting strip (3), said ordering segments being interconnected or resting against one another, and in that one or more ordering segments (7, 9, 11) can be selectively detached from the ordering means (8) and be removed therefrom (8) so as to leave a gap therein (8) or be replaced by another ordering segment (7, 9, 11).
