Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional slide rail brackets face challenges in being easily installed and removed without tools and are not adaptable to racks with different specifications, often requiring additional locking devices.
Innovation Solution
A slide rail bracket design featuring a main body with through holes, a slide component with positioning bolts of varying diameters, and elastic members that allow for tool-free installation and disassembly, accommodating different rack column sizes and incorporating a buckle device for locking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If positioning bolts with two different diameters are used to accommodate racks of different specifications, then adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because tools are needed to withdraw the positioning bolt during disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning bolt is designed with a dynamic structure featuring a slide block that can move along the bolt shaft. The slide block includes a pressing部 that can press against the elastic member to retract the positioning bolt into the main body during disassembly, eliminating the need for tools. This dynamic mechanism allows the bolt to be both protruding for engagement and retractable for removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member (spring) provides self-service functionality by automatically pushing the positioning bolt outward for engagement with positioning holes during installation, and by being compressed by the pressing部 to enable easy retraction during disassembly. The system uses its own elastic energy to facilitate both installation and removal operations.
2Device complexity
If conventional slide rail brackets are used without a buckle device, then the structure is simpler, but additional buckle devices are required when using slide rails with locking devices, increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The buckle device is merged with the main body of the slide rail bracket as an integrated component. The buckle component includes a buckle body with a receiving cavity that can receive the locking device's buckle portion, and it is connected to the main body structure. This integration allows the bracket to work with locking devices without requiring separate additional buckle devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The buckle device is designed with universal functionality to accommodate different locking device types. The receiving cavity can receive various buckle portions from different locking mechanisms, making the bracket compatible with multiple locking device specifications while maintaining a single unified bracket design.
3Measurement precision
If two positioning pins are used at the front end of the bracket, then positioning accuracy is improved, but adaptability deteriorates because different positioning pins are needed for racks with different positioning hole sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning bolt incorporates parameter changes by having different diameter portions at different locations along its length. The first diameter portion and second diameter portion have different sizes, allowing the same bolt to engage with positioning holes of different dimensions. This parameter variation enables a single bolt design to adapt to multiple rack column specifications while maintaining accurate positioning.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and tool-free installation and disassembly on racks with varying hole sizes and supports the use of slide rail locking devices, enhancing usability and adaptability.
Implementation Method 1
At least one elastic member is disposed between the accommodating portion and the slide block, and used to push the slide block to displace toward the front of the main body

AI summary
A slide rail bracket includes a main body and a slide component. The main body has an accommodating portion inside, and the front end of the main body is provided with two through holes. The slide component has a slide block and two positioning bolts. The slide block is slidably disposed in the accommodating portion, and the two positioning bolts are disposed on the front end of the slide block and respectively penetrate into the two through holes. The front ends of two positioning bolts respectively have a first diameter portion and a second diameter portion. The first diameter portion and the second diameter portion are arranged coaxial with each other, and the first diameter portion is disposed at the front end of the second diameter portion.
