Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wall-mounted toilet fixing devices have a limited adjusting range and require cumbersome operation to ensure proper alignment, making it difficult to securely attach the toilet to the mounting base without measuring the toilet's thickness.

Innovation Solution

A wall-mounted toilet fixing device featuring a housing with intersecting chamber bodies, a driven member, press blocks, and a driver with a rotation damping mechanism, allowing for easy engagement and disengagement of the toilet with a screw rod for adjustable positioning without needing to find a locking position by measuring the toilet's thickness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the screw tail end is moved within the concave surface of the screw sleeve by turning the screw to adjust the distance, then the locking position can be achieved, but the operation becomes troublesome and the adjusting range is small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidadjusting range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The press block is designed to be movable along the driven member, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position. The driving member rotates to push the press block along the driven member, enabling continuous adjustment of the pressing position against the screw rod, thus providing both ease of operation and wide adjusting range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The press block acts as an intermediary between the driving member and the screw rod. Instead of directly threading the screw into a fixed concave surface, the press block mediates the connection by being pushed by the driving member and pressing against the screw rod, enabling smooth adjustment without troublesome locking position searching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the concave surface length is kept short to ensure firm engagement, then the locking is secure, but the adjusting range is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveengagement firmnessVSAvoidadjusting range
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The press block transitions from a static concave surface to a dynamic movable component. As the driving member rotates, it continuously pushes the press block along the driven member, allowing the press block to maintain firm engagement with the screw rod while adjusting its position to provide a wide adjusting range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The press block automatically maintains firm engagement with the screw rod through its own movement along the driven member. As the driving member rotates, the press block self-adjusts its position to continuously press against the screw rod, ensuring reliable engagement without requiring a long concave surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A wall-mounted toilet fixing device comprises a housing (1), a driven member (2), at least one press block (3) movably fitted on the driven member (2), a driving member (4) for driving the driven member (2) to rotate and for driving the press block (3) to engage with a screw rod (S), and a driver (5) for driving the driving member (4) to rotate. The housing (1) has a first chamber body (13) and a second chamber body (14) which are intersected and communicated with each other. The driver (5) is rotatably fitted in the first chamber body (13). The driving member (4) and the driven member (2) are rotatably fitted in the second chamber body (14). The driving member (4) is movably sleeved on the driven member (2). The driver (5) cooperates with the driving member (4) through an intersecting shaft gear transmission mechanism or an interlaced shaft gear transmission mechanism. The driving member (4) is movably engaged with the driven member (2). A rotation damping mechanism is provided between the driven member (2) and the second chamber body (14). A side wall of the driven member (2) is provided with at least one engaging hole (22) passing through the side wall of the driven member (2). The press block (3) is movably fitted in the engaging hole (22). An inner surface of the press block (3) is formed with an engaging surface (31). The wall-mounted toilet fixing device is used for fixing a wall-mounted toilet (C), having the advantages of a simple operation and a wide adjusting range.
