Adjustable Screen Fixing Structure With Waterproof Cable Compartment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixing devices for screens and computers in medical environments fail to provide a stable operating angle and adequate waterproofing, leading to potential short-circuits from moisture exposure.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device comprising a first and second fixing piece, an accommodation room, and embedded pieces with hooks and extension arms, allowing for adjustable assembly positions and cable management within a waterproof compartment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the fixing device provides adjustable positioning for stable screen operation, then the operational stability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple fixing pieces and embedded components
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device is divided into multiple functional segments: first fixing piece with fixing holes, second fixing piece with additional fixing holes, embedded pieces with hooks, and extension arms. Each segment performs a specific function in the positioning and securing mechanism, allowing the complex stabilization function to be achieved through modular, independently manufacturable components that work together.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the accommodation room is designed to accommodate cables and electronic elements, then the waterproof protection is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to restricted access to internal components
Solution Approach 1:
The accommodation room is nested within the housing structure, with the first embedded piece and second embedded piece positioned inside the accommodation room. The extension arms extend from the embedded pieces through openings in the housing, allowing cable management and component access while maintaining the sealed waterproof enclosure. This nested arrangement protects internal components while providing controlled access points.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fixing holes and embedded pieces are used to enable versatile positioning, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is segmented into multiple discrete fixing holes in both the first and second fixing pieces, with corresponding embedded pieces containing hooks. This segmentation allows for multiple discrete positioning points that can be manufactured with standard tolerances, and the assembly process becomes a matter of aligning these pre-manufactured features rather than requiring high-precision custom positioning for each configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing holes and embedded pieces are designed with universal compatibility - the hooks on the embedded pieces can engage with any of the multiple fixing holes in either fixing piece, allowing a single set of components to accommodate various positioning configurations without requiring custom-manufactured parts for each specific position.

AI summary
A fixing device includes a first fixing piece, a second fixing piece, a room, a cover, a first embedded piece and a second embedded piece. The first fixing piece is on a first surface of a first housing and includes some first fixing holes. The second fixing piece is on a second surface of the first housing and includes some second fixing holes. The room includes is disposed on an edge adjacent to the first and the second surfaces. The cover covers the opening and includes some through holes. The first embedded piece is on a third surface of a second housing and includes some hooks. The second embedded piece is on the third surface and includes an extension arm. When the hooks respectively extend into the first or the second fixing holes, the extension arm penetrates into the room through the through holes.
