Universal device for securing an exhibition model of a shower system to a display wall
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for displaying wall-mounted shower systems are cumbersome and require drilling into the wall, making it difficult to mount and display various models efficiently, lacking standardization and ease of use.
Innovation Solution
A universal fixing device with a support featuring a rectangular front panel with longitudinal and transverse grooves, circular cutouts, and integrated hooks, allowing for secure attachment of different shower system models to a display wall using screws and hooks, facilitating easy installation and versatility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional screw-fixing methods are used to mount shower systems on display walls, then secure mounting is achieved, but the process becomes tedious and requires drilling holes in the wall
Solution Approach 1:
A display support with integrated hooks serves as an intermediary between the shower system and the wall. The hooks engage with notches in the support, allowing the shower system to be mounted without direct screw-fixing to the wall, thus maintaining security while simplifying the mounting process
Solution Approach 2:
The display support is pre-assembled with hooks and notches before the shower system is mounted. This preliminary preparation allows the operator to simply hang the shower system on the pre-prepared support rather than performing complex drilling and screwing operations at the time of mounting
2Reliability
If custom mounting methods are used for each shower system model, then proper fixation is achieved, but the process lacks standardization and requires different approaches for each model
Solution Approach 1:
The display support is designed with multiple hooks and notches in standardized positions that can accommodate different types of shower systems (shower sets, shower handsets, and shower columns). This universal design allows a single support structure to serve multiple functions and work with various shower system models without requiring custom mounting solutions for each
3Shape
If the operator moves the entire shower system for mounting adjustments, then proper positioning is achieved, but productivity decreases and the process becomes more time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into separate components: the display support with hooks and the shower system with notches. This segmentation allows the operator to independently adjust the position of the display support on the wall without moving the entire shower system, thereby improving productivity while maintaining positioning accuracy
