Vacuum Suction Bracket with Rotary Release for Stable Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing brackets with suction cups are prone to failure due to accidental touching of the protruding piece, leading to loss of suction.
Innovation Solution
A bracket design featuring a base with a movable connecting rod that forms and releases vacuum negative pressure through axial movement, utilizing climbing tracks and a rotating member to control the suction cup's position, enhancing stability and ease of assembly/disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a protruding piece is provided on the edge of the suction cup for disassembly, then the bracket can be disassembled by pulling the protruding piece, but accidental touching of the protruding piece may cause failure of suction
Solution Approach 1:
The protruding piece is extracted from the suction cup and integrated into the rotating member as a separate functional element. The disassembly feature is taken out from the suction cup itself and placed in a dedicated control component, eliminating the risk of accidental detachment while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating member acts as an intermediary between the user's manual operation and the suction cup's detachment. Instead of directly pulling the suction cup, the user rotates the rotating member which then drives the connecting rod to move the suction cup away, providing controlled mediation between operation and effect.
2Device complexity
If the suction cup is directly fixed to the base body, then the structure is simple, but the suction stability is insufficient and assembly/disassembly is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The base is segmented into distinct functional components: base body, connecting rod, suction cup, and rotating member. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall structural simplicity and ease of assembly/disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rod is designed to be movable between first and second positions, transforming the static suction cup fixation into a dynamic system. This allows the suction cup to be easily moved between attached and detached states while maintaining stable suction when attached.
3Ease of operation
If the connecting rod is made long to allow easy manipulation, then assembly/disassembly is easier, but the risk of accidental touching increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operation dimension is changed from linear pulling (along the connecting rod's length) to rotational motion (around the base). The rotating member provides a new dimensional approach to control, allowing manipulation without requiring a long protruding piece, thus reducing accidental touching risk while maintaining ease of operation.

AI summary
A bracket includes a base. The base includes a base body, a suction cup, and a connecting rod. The suction cup is provided at a bottom portion of the base body. The connecting rod is provided on the base body and connected to the suction cup. The connecting rod is movable between a first position and a second position along its axial direction. When the connecting rod is moved from the second position to the first position along its axial direction, the connecting rod is configured for driving the suction cup to rise to form a vacuum negative pressure cavity. When the connecting rod is moved from the first position to the second position along its axial direction, the connecting rod is configured for driving the suction cup to descend to release vacuum negative pressure in the vacuum negative pressure cavity.
