Device Body Mounting Structure With User-Side Tool Release
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional device body mounting structures often face difficulties in removing the device body from the frame due to the lack of an accessible insertion port for a removing tool, particularly when the structure is designed with a front part that obstructs the formation of such a port.
Innovation Solution
A device body mounting structure that includes a frame with a recessed space and a device body featuring an insertion port on the user side, equipped with a restricting member having an engaging part and a releasing part, allowing easy detachment by inserting a tool through the port to release the engagement with the frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the device body is fixed to the frame using a protruding part engaged with the device body side part, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the ease of removal deteriorates due to inability to form an insertion port
Solution Approach 1:
The restricting member is divided into functionally independent parts: an engaging part that provides secure mounting through engagement with the frame wall part, and a releasing part that can be actuated from the user side to disengage the mounting. This segmentation allows the mounting structure to simultaneously achieve reliable fixation and easy removal capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The releasing part acts as an intermediary mechanism between the user and the engaging part. By providing a release port on the user side that connects to the releasing part, the structure enables tool-based actuation of the engaging part without requiring direct access to the engagement interface between the frame and device body.
2Shape
If the front part is designed to cover the device body for aesthetic or protective purposes, then the appearance quality is improved, but the ease of removal deteriorates due to obstruction of insertion port formation
Solution Approach 1:
The release port is positioned on the user side surface of the device body, utilizing a different spatial dimension for tool access. This allows the front part to maintain its aesthetic covering function while the releasing part provides an alternative access path for removal operations through the release port, avoiding conflict with the front part's design.
3Reliability
If the restricting member is designed with engaging parts protruding toward the frame for secure engagement, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional releasing mechanism
Solution Approach 1:
The releasing part is integrated with the restricting member as a unified component rather than a separate mechanism. The releasing part forms an integral part of the restricting member structure, sharing the same material and manufacturing process, which reduces overall device complexity while maintaining the dual functionality of secure engagement and easy release.

AI summary
A device body mounting structure includes a frame and a device body. The frame includes a frame wall part. The device body includes a first wall part and a second wall part. The device body includes a restricting member disposed on the first wall part, and an insertion port formed on the device body on a user side and configured such that a tool can be inserted. The restricting member is formed with: an engaging part disposed on the first wall part, and protruding toward the frame wall part and configured to be engaged with the frame wall part; and a releasing part disposed along the second wall part and connected to the engaging part. The releasing part includes a part configured to be pressed by the tool in a direction away from the frame wall part when the tool is inserted through the insertion port.
