Pump-Mounted Rotating Bracket for Electronic Device Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electromechanical pumps with fixedly mounted electronic devices face challenges such as complex cable management, limited accessibility due to fixed configurations, and a lack of universality across different pump types, making it difficult to interact with and position these systems comfortably, especially in narrow or high locations.
Innovation Solution
A support and orientation device with adjustable brackets and pins that allow for multiple inclinations and configurations, featuring a first and second bracket with slots and pins for secure mounting on pumps, enabling universal application across various pump sizes and orientations, including adjustable angles and height configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If electronic devices are fixedly mounted on pumps, then cable management becomes simpler, but the system loses flexibility in positioning and orientation
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed with a rotatable connection to the pump body, allowing it to rotate between an extended position (for optimal cable management) and a retracted position (for compact configuration). This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by providing both cable management simplicity and positioning flexibility at different operational stages.
2Ease of manufacture
If electronic devices are fixed in specific locations, then manufacturing and installation become easier, but accessibility and user interaction become difficult in narrow or high locations
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket can be rotated to bring the electronic device from a fixed mounted position to various accessible positions within the operator's reach. This maintains simple installation (device is mounted once) while providing excellent operational accessibility through rotation.
3Reliability
If electronic devices are fixedly mounted, then the configuration is stable and reliable, but the system cannot be oriented relative to initial positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket provides a stable mounted configuration when fixed, but can be rotated to various orientations as needed. The rotation mechanism maintains reliability through secure locking positions while providing adaptability in orientation.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a universal support device is designed to fit different pump types, then adaptability increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed with universal features (adjustable rotation, standardized mounting interfaces) that allow it to accommodate different pump types without requiring complex customization. The same basic bracket structure serves multiple pump configurations.
