Three-Frame Adjustable Rail Support for Variable Rack Depth
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing supporting devices for rail members in rack systems have limitations in extending their supporting span and enhancing structural strength between the slide rail and the bracket, necessitating a solution for increased flexibility and strength to accommodate different market requirements.
Innovation Solution
The supporting device comprises three movable supporting frames with specific transverse and extension sections, allowing for adjustable mounting to racks of varying depths, and featuring elastic parts for secure positioning, thereby increasing the supporting span and structural strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a single bracket is used to mount the slide rail, then the device complexity is low, but the supporting span and structural strength are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into multiple supporting frames (first supporting frame, second supporting frame, third supporting frame) that can be movably connected to each other. Each supporting frame has transverse parts with supporting features that can be positioned at different locations, allowing the system to achieve greater structural strength through distributed support points while maintaining adjustable complexity based on specific application needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bracket is designed for fixed mounting, then the manufacturing precision is high, but the adaptability to different rack depths is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting frames are designed with movable connections that allow adjustment of the supporting span and positioning. The transverse parts of each supporting frame can be positioned at different locations along the longitudinal body, enabling the bracket to adapt to various rack depths and configurations while maintaining manufacturing precision through standardized movable connection mechanisms

AI summary
A supporting device for a rail member includes a first supporting frame, a second supporting frame and a third supporting frame. The first supporting frame has a first longitudinal body. A pair of first transverse parts are arranged on the first longitudinal body. Each of the first transverse parts has a first supporting feature. The second supporting frame is movably attached to the first supporting frame and has a second longitudinal body. A pair of second transverse parts are arranged on the second longitudinal body. Each of the second transverse parts has a second supporting feature. The third supporting frame is movably attached to the second supporting frame and has a third longitudinal body. The third supporting frame is fixedly attached to the rail member, and the first supporting frame and the second supporting frame are both movable relative to the rail member.
