Wall Fan Suspension Sleeve Coupling for Easy Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall fan suspension structures are inconvenient for assembly due to narrow insertion gaps, making it difficult for users, especially those with less strength, to align and hang the fan correctly.
Innovation Solution
A wall fan suspension structure featuring a wall-side coupling element with a first side plate and bottom plate, and a fan-side coupling element with a second side plate and bottom plate, where the second side plate sleeves over the first, allowing for easy alignment and connection, facilitated by locking and hanging holes, and adjustable screws for height adjustment.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a narrow insertion gap is used in the conventional wall fan suspension structure, then the structure can be compact and secure, but it becomes difficult for users to align and assemble the fan properly
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling structure is divided into two separate elements: a wall-side coupling element and a fan-side coupling element. Each element has its own coupling portion with positioning protrusions and positioning gaps, allowing them to be assembled together through a plug-and-play mechanism that is both secure and easy to operate
Solution Approach 2:
The fan-side coupling element acts as an intermediary between the wall fan and the wall-side coupling element. It includes a coupling portion that connects to the wall-side coupling element and another coupling portion that connects to the wall fan, facilitating easy assembly while maintaining secure connection
2Ease of operation
If the insertion gap is made wider to ease alignment, then assembly becomes easier, but the coupling structure becomes more complex and larger
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling portions feature asymmetric positioning protrusions and positioning gaps with specific directional orientations. This asymmetric design guides the alignment process naturally, making assembly easy without requiring a wide insertion gap or complex adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning protrusions and positioning gaps are pre-configured with specific shapes and orientations that automatically guide the alignment of the coupling elements during assembly, eliminating the need for complex alignment procedures or large insertion gaps
