Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional wall mounting of security cameras and electronic devices requires brand-specific equipment due to physical and electrical constraints, making the installation process complex and prone to errors, and is often costly.
Innovation Solution
A universal quick mount apparatus with a mount plate and terminal blocks that allows for secure coupling and wiring of devices without brand-specific equipment, featuring engaging mechanisms and pass-through mechanisms for building wiring, simplifying the mounting process and providing hands-free support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If brand-specific mounting equipment is used for each security camera or electronic device, then the device can be properly mounted and wired according to its specific physical and electrical requirements, but the installation process becomes complex, requires multiple different equipment types, and increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single standardized mounting plate with universal mounting holes and a standardized terminal block configuration that can accommodate multiple different security cameras and electronic devices. The mounting plate includes a standardized pattern of mounting holes that can work with various device types, eliminating the need for brand-specific mounting equipment while maintaining proper installation reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the mounting system into separate functional components: a standardized mounting plate for mechanical attachment, a separate terminal block for electrical connections, and device-specific adapter plates if needed. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system compatibility and reducing installation complexity
2Reliability
If multiple brand-specific equipment types are required for different devices, then each device's specific requirements are met, but the cost of obtaining all required equipment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized mounting plate and terminal block serve as universal interfaces that can work with multiple different device types and brands. This eliminates the need to purchase separate mounting equipment for each device, reducing both the quantity of equipment needed and the overall cost while still meeting each device's specific mounting and wiring requirements through proper adapter selection
3Device complexity
If conventional mounting methods are used without support during installation, then no additional support equipment is needed, but mistakes or failures in mounting and wiring can occur
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting plate is pre-configured with standardized mounting hole patterns and pre-attached terminal blocks with wiring already routed through the plate. This preliminary preparation of the mounting system before device installation ensures proper alignment and connection, reducing installation errors and improving success rates while maintaining equipment simplicity
