Suspension holding mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional suspension fastening mechanisms are unable to be attached to multiple types of metal supporting structures in ceilings, making it difficult to mount electronic devices like wireless routers on varying ceiling structures.
Innovation Solution
A suspension holding mechanism with a detachable holder and supporter that can be adapted to different ceiling structures by flipping the holder, utilizing hooks, restriction bolts, and elastic holding portions to securely attach to ceilings of varying widths, allowing for easy assembly and cost-effective use across different sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single conventional suspension fastening mechanism is used, then the mounting process is simple, but it cannot be attached to multiple types of metal supporting structures
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with two different holding portions (first holding portion and second holding portion) that can attach to different types of ceiling structures. By flipping the holder, users can switch between the two holding portions to accommodate various ceiling widths and structures, making a single mechanism universally applicable to multiple ceiling types.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed to be detachably connected to the supporter, allowing it to be flipped or rotated between two orientations. This dynamic reconfiguration enables the same holder to present different holding portions to the ceiling structure, adapting to varying mounting requirements without requiring multiple fixed designs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different suspension mechanisms are designed for different ceiling structures, then compatibility is improved, but the number of parts and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of manufacturing separate suspension mechanisms for different ceiling types, the invention provides a single holder design that performs multiple functions by flipping. This reduces manufacturing complexity and inventory requirements while maintaining compatibility with various ceiling structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is segmented into two functional sides (first holding portion and second holding portion), each optimized for different ceiling structures. This segmentation allows a single component to serve multiple purposes, eliminating the need for multiple complete assemblies.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the holder is made detachable and flipable, then adaptability to different ceiling widths is improved, but the mounting operation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable and flipable design allows the holder to dynamically change its configuration during installation. Users can flip the holder to the appropriate orientation before mounting, enabling easy adaptation to different ceiling widths through a simple flipping motion rather than complex adjustments during installation.

AI summary
A suspension holding mechanism is provided. The suspension holding mechanism is adapted to mount an electronic device on a first ceiling structure or a second ceiling structure. The suspension holding mechanism includes a supporter and a holder. The holder is detachably connected to the supporter, wherein the holder includes a holder body, two first holding portions, and two second holding portions. The first holding portions are disposed on the holder body and are located on the first surface of the holder body. The second holding portions are disposed on the holder body and are located on the second surface of the holder body. In a first state, the first holding portions are connected to two sides of the first ceiling structure. In a second state, the second holding portions are connected to two sides of the second ceiling structure.
