Pre-mounted Label Carrier for Building Frame Labeling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for labeling frames and flush-mounted devices in building installations are often too complicated and impractical for efficient use.
Innovation Solution
A frame with a pre-assembled label carrier that can be easily inserted and locked into place, allowing for simple labeling without the need for separate storage of labeling components, featuring a label holder that can be swiveled and locked into position, with options for inserting labels through either side surface, and a design that allows for easy access and protection of the writing field.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate labeling components are provided for frames and flush-mounted devices, then both can be labeled, but the assembly becomes complicated and requires separate storage of components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the label carrier and label panel into a single integrated pre-assembled unit that is permanently mounted on the frame. This merging eliminates the need for separate labeling components for frames and flush-mounted devices, simplifying the overall assembly while maintaining full labeling capability through the integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The label carrier and label panel are pre-assembled and pre-mounted on the frame before the actual labeling process. This preliminary action ensures that all labeling components are already in position and properly configured, eliminating the need for separate storage and assembly of labeling parts during installation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If labeling components are stored separately, then they can be used as needed, but installation time is lost and handling becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The label carrier and label panel are pre-assembled and pre-mounted on the frame during manufacturing or pre-installation phase. This preliminary action eliminates the need to store, retrieve, and assemble labeling components separately during installation, significantly reducing installation time and handling complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the label is always accessible, then it can be easily changed, but it is vulnerable to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The label carrier is designed with movable and fixed positions, allowing the label panel to be dynamically adjusted. The label can be easily accessed and changed when needed by moving the carrier to an accessible position, while being automatically protected when the carrier is in its fixed locked position against the frame, thus balancing accessibility and protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The labeling system is segmented into a movable label carrier and a fixed frame structure. This segmentation allows the label carrier to be independently moved for access and then locked into position for protection, separating the functions of accessibility and protection into distinct operational states of the same component.
4Reliability
If the label carrier is permanently fixed, then it is secure, but it cannot be removed for reassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The label carrier employs a dynamic locking mechanism that provides permanent fixation during normal operation to ensure security and reliability. However, the locking mechanism can be deliberately activated or deactivated to allow removal when reassembly is required, thus providing both security and adaptability through controlled dynamic behavior.
