Wall Connection Box Locking Structure for Adjustable Functional Surfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall-mounted junction box units lack flexibility in securing the functional surface body at different axial heights, which affects their installation and assembly efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted junction box unit with a connecting device that allows the functional surface body to be selectively secured in front of or behind the base section, featuring a rotatable connecting body with an actuation interface on the functional surface body's side, enabling easy adjustment and secure attachment at various axial positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the functional surface body is secured to the base section at fixed axial heights, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability and flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting body is designed to be rotatable between a securing position and a release position, enabling dynamic adjustment of the functional surface body to different axial heights on the base section. This rotational mechanism provides adaptability while maintaining a relatively simple device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting device with its rotatable connecting body can secure the functional surface body at multiple axial positions, making it a multi-functional solution that replaces the need for multiple fixed-position attachment mechanisms. This universal design enhances adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the connecting body is positioned on the base section side, then the securing strength is improved, but the ease of operation is reduced due to limited accessibility
Solution Approach 1:
The actuation interface is positioned on the functional surface body side rather than the base section side, changing the spatial dimension of access. This allows users to operate the connecting device from the front/side where the functional surface body is located, improving accessibility and ease of operation while maintaining securing strength through the rotational locking mechanism.
