Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for mounting speakers on top walls are labor-intensive, risky, and require electric tools, making the process complicated and prone to errors.

Innovation Solution

A mounting device comprising a central shaft, an abutting piece, an elastic piece, and a fixing piece that allows the speaker to be mounted on a top wall using a simple tool like a wrench, eliminating the need for electric tools and simplifying the installation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electric drill and power tool are used to mount speaker on top wall, then mounting can be achieved, but labor intensity is high and risk of puncturing speaker is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk of puncturing speakerVSAvoidlabor intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the electric drill (power tool) with a pure mechanical mounting device consisting of a mounting plate, rotating arm, and tightening mechanism. This mechanical system eliminates the need for electric tools, reducing labor intensity and the risk of puncturing the speaker during installation while achieving secure mounting on the top wall.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If electric drill is used to drill holes and tighten screws, then speaker can be mounted, but mounting steps are complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stepsVSAvoidmounting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device is segmented into functional modules: a mounting plate with positioning structures, a rotating arm mechanism, and a tightening mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall mounting process and reducing the number of steps required compared to traditional drilling and screwing methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting plate includes pre-designed positioning structures and guide holes that prepare the mounting location in advance. The rotating arm is pre-configured with tightening mechanisms, so when the device is positioned against the top wall, the mounting holes and fastening points are already aligned, eliminating the need for separate drilling and measurement steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If traditional mounting method is used, then speaker can be fixed on top wall, but the process is risky and requires power tools

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety during installationVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device acts as an intermediary tool between the speaker and the top wall. It includes a mounting plate with positioning structures that interface with the top wall surface, and a rotating arm mechanism that applies controlled tightening force. This intermediary device eliminates the need for operators to directly handle power tools near the speaker, reducing safety risks while maintaining secure installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a mounting device for a speaker and a speaker. The mounting device includes a central shaft, an abutting piece, an elastic piece and a fixing piece. The abutting piece includes a body part and an abutting part, the body part is nested with and to the central shaft. The elastic piece is provided between the central shaft and the body part. The fixing piece penetrates through the speaker so as to be connected with the central shaft. The fixing piece is configured for driving the abutting piece to rotate, such that the abutting part is capable to be rotated to a chute of the boss so as to be abutted with the top wall, such that the mounting steps of the speaker body can be simpler, the mounting is more convenient, with a higher safety and a lower labor intensity.
