Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The selection and installation of wall-embedded wire and cable boxes are hindered by size and model mismatches between the product and the installation hole, leading to unstable installations and additional adjustments being necessary.
Innovation Solution
A wall-embedded wire and cable box design featuring adjustable connecting members and locking members that allow the box to be securely fitted to the wall by unfolding and locking, ensuring a tight connection and improved adaptability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed-size embedded wire boxes are used, then manufacturing and inventory management are simplified, but adaptability to different wall hole sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting members are designed to be adjustable in length, transforming from a static fixed-size box to a dynamic adaptable structure. Users can extend or retract the connecting members to match different wall hole dimensions, achieving adaptability without requiring multiple box sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The embedded wire box is segmented into a main body and adjustable connecting members. This segmentation allows the connecting members to be independently adjusted to fit different wall hole sizes while the main body remains standardized for manufacturing.
2Reliability
If standard-sized embedded wire boxes are used, then manufacturing precision requirements are reduced, but installation stability is compromised due to size mismatches
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable connecting members allow the box to adapt to slight variations in wall hole sizes without requiring high manufacturing precision. The dynamic adjustment capability compensates for size mismatches, ensuring stable installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The length parameter of the connecting members can be changed to match different wall hole dimensions. This parameter adjustment enables the box to fit various hole sizes accurately, improving installation stability without demanding extreme manufacturing precision.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sizes of embedded wire boxes are produced, then adaptability to different applications is improved, but device complexity and selection difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single standardized main body design with adjustable connecting members serves multiple size requirements. Instead of producing multiple box sizes, one universal box design can adapt to various wall hole dimensions through the adjustable connecting members, simplifying selection and inventory management.
Solution Approach 2:
By separating the standardized main body from the adjustable connecting members, the invention allows users to select only the main body in standard sizes while adjusting the connecting members on-site to match specific wall hole dimensions, easing the selection process.

AI summary
A wall-embedded wire and cable box is configured for installing in an installation hole of a wall. The embedded wire box includes a main body of embedded wire box, connecting members, and locking members. The locking members are connected to the main body of embedded wire box and the connecting members, and the locking members are capable of driving the connecting members to move, so that the connecting members have an unfolded state and a restored state. When the connecting members are in the restored state, the main body of embedded wire box can be installed in the installation hole of the wall. When the connecting members are in the unfolded state, the locking members can be used for locking the wall between the main body of embedded wire box and the connecting members.
