Suspension Mount With Elastic Units For Diverse Ceiling Structures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional suspension mounts are limited in their ability to be adapted to various ceiling structures with different shapes and metal frames, as they are specifically designed for a single type of metal frame, making them incompatible with diverse ceiling configurations.
Innovation Solution
The suspension mount incorporates a body with multiple fastening portions and elastic units featuring stair-like structures, allowing it to be affixed to ceiling structures with different shapes by adjusting the position and orientation of the fastening portions and elastic units, enabling compatibility with multiple ceiling structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional suspension mount is designed for a single type of metal frame, then it can be securely attached to that specific frame structure, but it cannot be adapted to ceiling structures with different shapes and metal frames
Solution Approach 1:
The suspension mount body is divided into multiple modular fastening portions (first fastening portion, second fastening portion, third fastening portion, fourth fastening portion) that can be independently positioned and oriented. Each fastening portion can be selectively engaged with different ceiling structures, allowing the single device to adapt to various ceiling shapes and metal frame configurations without requiring multiple different mount designs
Solution Approach 2:
The suspension mount is designed with multiple fastening portions and elastic units that enable a single device to perform multiple functions: it can be attached to T-shaped beams, flat ceilings, and ceilings with central ribs. The elastic units with stair structures provide universal compatibility across different ceiling types by accommodating various dimensions and orientations, making the device universally applicable rather than type-specific
2Adaptability or versatility
If the suspension mount uses multiple fastening portions and elastic units to accommodate different ceiling structures, then adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple fastening portions and elastic units are integrated into a single suspension mount body rather than being separate components. The first and second fastening portions extend in opposite directions, as do the third and fourth fastening portions, creating a symmetric integrated structure. This merging approach allows the device to accommodate different ceiling structures while maintaining a unified, manageable design rather than requiring multiple separate mounts
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
This design allows a single suspension mount to be securely attached to various ceiling structures, including those with central ribs, by utilizing the elastic units' stair structures to accommodate different dimensions and orientations, thereby expanding its applicability beyond a single type of metal frame.
Implementation Method 1
The first elastic unit is disposed on the body and corresponding to the first fastening portion, wherein the first elastic unit comprises a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion
