Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bracket systems require multiple designs to accommodate different types of wall mount supports, causing inconvenience to users and increasing production costs for manufacturers.
Innovation Solution
A modular bracket structure that includes a board and two sideboards, with a virtual connection line and a gap between the sideboards and the board, allowing for adjustable connection methods to accommodate various wall mount supports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bracket designs are used to accommodate different types of wall mount supports, then compatibility with various wall mount supports is improved, but device complexity and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket structure is designed with a universal configuration that can accommodate multiple types of wall mount supports (such as DIN rails, wall screws, and other mounting methods) through a single design. The sideboards are positioned at specific distances from the board surface, creating a standardized interface that works with various mounting mechanisms, thereby eliminating the need for multiple specialized bracket designs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bracket designs are used to accommodate different types of wall mount supports, then compatibility with various wall mount supports is improved, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a single universal bracket structure that can work with multiple wall mount support types, manufacturers can produce only one design at scale, significantly reducing tooling costs, inventory requirements, and assembly complexity compared to producing multiple specialized bracket variants.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functionality of multiple specialized brackets into a single unified design. The standardized positioning of sideboards relative to the board creates a common interface that consolidates what would otherwise require separate bracket designs for different mounting methods.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bracket designs are used to accommodate different types of wall mount supports, then compatibility with various wall mount supports is improved, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Users benefit from a single bracket design that universally fits multiple wall mount support types. This eliminates the confusion and inconvenience of needing to select different bracket variants for different mounting scenarios, allowing users to purchase and install brackets without needing to identify the specific wall mount support type.

AI summary
A bracket structure, a bracket module, and a wall mount module are proposed. The bracket structure includes a board and two sideboards. The two sideboards are connected to two sides of the board respectively. A virtual connection line is extended between the two sideboards. A gap is between the virtual connection line and a first surface of the board. The two sideboards include a first sideboard and a second sideboard. The first sideboard includes an extension part, and a groove is formed between the extension part and the board. The second sideboard includes a fastening part. Thus, the bracket structure of the present disclosure can be applied to various types of wall mount supports.
