Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pipe securing devices for walls are not easy to use, expensive, and fail to comply with governmental regulations, while also not allowing for easy installation of drywall and securing pipes of various sizes.
Innovation Solution
A lightweight, single-unit pipe securing device with a flat surface that adheres to the stud and a grasping portion to secure the pipe, featuring a protrusion for secure attachment and an adhesive for easy installation, allowing for compliance with regulations and accommodating various pipe sizes without interfering with drywall installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional pipe securing devices are used, then pipe protection is provided, but the devices are difficult to use and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional segments: a flat mounting surface for attachment to the stud, a grasping portion for securing the pipe, and a protrusion for alignment. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently, making the overall device simple to use despite having multiple functional requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts only the essential elements needed for pipe securing: a flat surface for mounting, a grasping portion for pipe engagement, and a protrusion for positioning. By removing unnecessary complex mechanisms from traditional devices, the solution achieves simplicity while maintaining effectiveness.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional pipe securing devices are used, then pipe protection is provided, but the devices are expensive
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple protective and securing functions are merged into a single integrated device structure. The flat surface, grasping portion, and protrusion work together as one unit to provide both pipe protection and secure mounting, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: protecting the pipe from damage, securing it to the stud, and providing regulatory compliance. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate devices, lowering overall manufacturing costs while maintaining comprehensive pipe protection.
3Reliability
If traditional pipe securing devices are used, then pipe mounting is provided, but compliance with governmental regulations is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The device is pre-designed with a protrusion and flat surface configuration that automatically ensures proper positioning and compliance with governmental regulations during installation. The preliminary design incorporates regulatory requirements into the device structure itself, so compliance is achieved automatically without requiring complex installation procedures or additional adjustment steps.
4Strength
If traditional pipe securing devices are used, then pipe support is provided, but drywall installation is interfered with
Solution Approach 1:
The device concentrates its pipe support function in specific localized areas through the grasping portion and protrusion design, while maintaining a flat surface that provides uniform contact with the stud. This local concentration of support functions allows the rest of the device surface to remain compatible with drywall installation, enabling both strong pipe support and drywall compatibility simultaneously.
