Wall-Mounted Router Power Supply Rack With Cable Winding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Starlink routers face storage challenges due to the main unit and power supply occupying large floor space and cable exposure causing visual clutter, necessitating a more efficient storage solution.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted router power supply support rack with a main frame and power supply frame, featuring a cable-winding tube to minimize space usage and cable exposure, incorporating reinforcing ribs and limiting members for structural stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the main unit and power supply are placed on the floor, then they are easily accessible, but they occupy large floor space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the storage arrangement from horizontal floor placement to vertical wall-mounted placement. The main frame and power supply frame are mounted on walls, utilizing vertical space instead of horizontal floor space, thereby reducing floor occupation while maintaining accessibility through proper height positioning
2Area of stationary object
If the main unit and power supply are placed close together, then cable length is reduced, but they require larger flat space for placement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent arranges the main unit and power supply vertically on wall-mounted frames rather than horizontally on the floor. This vertical arrangement reduces the flat space footprint while keeping the components close enough to minimize cable length, effectively resolving the contradiction between space occupation and cable length
3Device complexity
If cables are left exposed between main unit and power supply, then connection is simple, but visual clutter increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cables from the visual field by providing dedicated cable routing channels within the frame structures. Cables are routed through predetermined paths and concealed within the frame design, separating the functional connection from the visual appearance, thereby eliminating visual clutter while maintaining simple connectivity

AI summary
A router power supply support rack includes a main frame having a first limiting portion and an elastic pressing member. A first space is formed between the elastic pressing member and the first limiting portion. A power supply frame is connected to a bottom of the main frame and has a side limiting portion and a side elastic pressing portion on two sides thereof. The power supply frame includes an upper limiting member and a lower limiting member. A second space is formed between the side limiting portion, the side elastic pressing portion, the upper limiting member, and the lower limiting member. A first tube having a through-hole is connected to the power supply frame and located opposite to the second space. The router power supply support rack is installed on a wall without occupying floor space.
