Mounting device for a sanitary basin and method for providing a sanitary basin
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Sanitary basins, particularly those made of composite materials, experience dimensional deviations due to temperature-induced warping during manufacturing, which affect aesthetics and functionality, and existing mounting devices fail to address these shape deviations effectively.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with adjustable elements that allow for relative positioning of the sanitary basin and receiving device in a direction transverse to the installation direction, applying compressive and/or tensile forces to minimize shape deviations, using adjustment devices with elements like cap screws, threaded bolts, and claws to secure the basin in place.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conventional mounting device is used to secure the sanitary basin, then the basin can be fixed in the receiving device, but the shape deviations of the basin cannot be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device incorporates adjustment elements that enable dynamic positioning of the sanitary basin, allowing the device to adapt to and compensate for shape deviations through movable components rather than fixed rigid structures
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows changing the relative position parameters between the sanitary basin and receiving device by adjusting the position of the basin in directions transverse to the installation direction, thereby compensating for manufacturing deviations
2Manufacturing precision
If the relative position of the sanitary basin and receiving device is made adjustable, then shape deviations can be reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is divided into separate adjustment elements that can independently adjust different aspects of the basin position, allowing complex positioning functionality to be achieved through simple, modular components
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment elements serve multiple functions: they position the basin to compensate for shape deviations, secure the basin in the receiving device, and provide a mounting structure for accessories, thereby reducing overall device complexity through multi-functionality
3Manufacturing precision
If compressive and tensile forces are applied to the sanitary basin to reduce shape deviations, then manufacturing precision improves, but the force application mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment elements enable application of compressive and tensile forces by changing the relative position between the basin and receiving device, allowing force application through simple positional adjustment rather than complex mechanical force generation mechanisms
