Split-type automatic lifting bracket device and sanitary product
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current sanitary products, such as toilets and basins, lack the ability to automatically adjust height to accommodate the needs of both elderly individuals who require elevated positions and children who need lowered positions, posing convenience issues.
Innovation Solution
A split-type automatic lifting bracket device comprising an upper and lower bracket assembly, where the lower assembly includes a self-supporting leg and a push-pull power device to drive the lifting bracket up and down, allowing for automatic height adjustment without additional force, and is integrated with a sanitary product to provide a flexible and adaptable solution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a lifting structure is designed to accommodate both elderly and children, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for height adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket device is divided into two independent assemblies: a fixed upper bracket assembly for supporting water receiver and control valve, and a movable lower bracket assembly for supporting the sanitary product. This segmentation allows the lower assembly to be independently adjusted in height while the upper assembly remains stationary, providing adaptability without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The lower bracket assembly is designed to be movable rather than fixed, enabling it to adjust between different height positions. The rolling guide device allows smooth movement along the guidepost, and the push-pull power device enables controlled adjustment, making the system dynamic and adaptable to different user needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If the lifting bracket includes water receiver and control valve, then functionality is improved, but weight increases making automatic lifting difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The water receiver and control valve are separated from the movable lower bracket assembly and placed on the fixed upper bracket assembly. This segmentation ensures that only the lightweight lower bracket and sanitary product need to be lifted, while the heavier water-related components remain stationary, reducing the weight burden on the lifting mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
Flexible pipelines serve as intermediaries connecting the water source in the upper bracket assembly to the sanitary product in the lower bracket assembly. This allows water supply functionality to be maintained while the lower assembly remains lightweight and movable
3Ease of operation
If additional force is applied to assist height adjustment, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity and power requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The push-pull power device is designed to operate automatically without requiring additional manual force or assistance. The control device activates the power device to automatically adjust the height of the lower bracket assembly, making the system self-serving and eliminating the need for user intervention in the lifting process
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical adjustment system is replaced with an automated push-pull power device controlled by an electronic control device. This substitution eliminates the need for manual force application while keeping the power requirements low due to the reduced weight of the movable components
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device enables automatic height adjustment of sanitary products, reducing the weight on the lifting structure and components, thereby lowering power requirements and extending the service life, while providing a cost-effective solution for various user needs.
Implementation Method 1
The rolling guide device comprises a rolling bearing and a guidepost, the rolling bearing is fixed on the lifting bracket, and the guidepost is fixed on the self-supporting leg assembly, so that the lifting bracket moves up and down along the guidepost relative to the self-supporting leg assembly under the drive of the push-pull power device
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides a split-type automatic lifting bracket device and a sanitary product. The split-type automatic lifting bracket device comprises an upper bracket assembly and a lower bracket assembly, wherein the upper bracket assembly is used for bearing a water receiver or a waterway control valve; and the lower bracket assembly is used for bearing or supporting and driving a sanitary product to rise and descend, and comprises a self-supporting leg assembly, an auxiliary standing device, an automatic lifting control device, a lifting bracket, a push-pull power device, a rolling guide device, and the sanitary product. The lifting structure of the present application can rise and descend automatically without an additional force to assist in height adjustment. The water receiver and other structures are not provided on the lifting bracket, so that a weight for the lifting structure to rise is reduced.
