Segmented Rack Bracket Assembly for Adjustable Depth Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing rack slide mounting systems often consist of separate components that do not meet market demands for structural configuration and adjustability.
Innovation Solution
A supporting assembly with a first bracket, a supporting frame, and a second bracket, where the supporting frame is connected to the first bracket and provides a supporting channel for the second bracket, allowing for adjustable mounting and enhanced structural strength through separate components and features like protruding portions and elastic arms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If separate mounting brackets are used for rack installation, then ease of manufacture and assembly are improved, but structural strength and stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is divided into a first bracket and a second bracket that can be manufactured separately and then assembled together. The first bracket is fixed to the rack while the second bracket supports the electronic component, allowing independent optimization of each part for manufacturing while achieving strong structural connection when assembled.
2Ease of operation
If separate mounting brackets are used for rack installation, then ease of assembly and installation are improved, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into a first bracket for rack attachment and a second bracket for component mounting, connected through supporting sections. This allows the brackets to be assembled separately on-site while maintaining structural stability through the connecting supporting sections that rigidly join the components.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting sections act as intermediary elements that connect the first bracket and second bracket. These supporting sections provide a stable structural link between the rack-mounted first bracket and the component-supported second bracket, ensuring structural stability while enabling modular assembly.
3Manufacturing precision
If fixed-length mounting brackets are used, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability to different rack depths deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket system incorporates adjustable length capability where the first and second brackets can be configured in different length combinations to match various rack depths. This dynamic adjustability is achieved through supporting sections with adjustable mechanisms that allow the overall bracket length to be customized while maintaining precise manufacturing tolerances for each individual component.

AI summary
A supporting assembly (22, 200, 300) includes a first bracket (28, 204, 304), a supporting frame (30, 202, 302), and a second bracket (32, 220, 318). The first bracket (28, 204, 304) includes a first end portion (34) and a second end portion (36). The supporting frame (30, 202, 302) is connected to the first bracket (28, 204, 304) at a position adjacent to the second end portion (36) of the first bracket (28, 204, 304) and has a first supporting section (42, 214, 310). One of the first bracket (28, 204, 304) and the supporting frame (30, 202, 302) is provided with a second supporting section (44, 206, 306). The first supporting section (42, 214, 310) and the second supporting section (44, 206, 306) jointly constitute a supporting channel (46, 207, 316) for supporting the second bracket (32, 220, 318).
