Valve Holder Clamping Structure for Stable Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing valve installation methods are complex, time-consuming, and can compromise the structural strength of the fixed object, as valves may be exposed outside the wall and require additional recesses for mounting, leading to instability and risk of damage.
Innovation Solution
A valve holder with a base, symmetrically extending arm members, and clamping members is designed to stably hold the valve. The base includes a through hole for secure positioning, and the arm members form a room for elastic deformation, while the clamping members provide a clamping space with projections to engage and securely hold the valve.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If valves are exposed outside the wall or mounted in additional recesses, then valve installation is possible, but the structural strength of the fixed object is compromised and installation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The valve holder serves as an intermediary component between the wall and the valve. It includes a base with a through hole for mounting on the wall and arm members that extend to support the valve, thereby protecting the wall structure while enabling secure valve installation without compromising structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The valve holder is divided into functional segments: a base for wall mounting, arm members for support, and clamping members for valve securing. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently while simplifying the overall installation process
2Ease of manufacture
If valves are exposed outside the wall, then valve installation is possible, but the valve is easily impacted and moved by external forces
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping members feature localized engagement structures with the valve, providing targeted securing at critical points. The projections on the clamping members engage with corresponding features on the valve body, creating localized high-strength connections that prevent movement while maintaining overall design simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The valve holder integrates multiple functions into a single component: mounting attachment, structural support, and valve clamping. This merging of functions ensures the valve is securely held in place while simplifying installation and improving reliability
3Ease of manufacture
If additional recesses are formed on the wall for valve mounting, then valve installation is possible, but installation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The valve holder is pre-formed with the base, arm members, and clamping members integrated into a single component. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for on-site construction of mounting structures, allowing rapid installation by simply mounting the base to the wall and securing the valve with the pre-formed clamping members
Solution Approach 2:
The valve holder base can be mounted on various wall types and materials, and the arm members can accommodate different valve positions and orientations. This universality allows a single component design to serve multiple installation scenarios, reducing overall installation time and complexity
