Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wall hanging fixing devices often damage bathroom articles during installation and are inconvenient to use, as they require disassembly and can cause scratches and smudges on high-end fixtures.

Innovation Solution

A wall hanging fixing device with a decoration cover featuring a hanging member and a movable member that clamps a supporting member, using a bolt for secure attachment without disassembly, ensuring easy installation and protection of bathroom articles from damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional expansion bolt installation method is used, then the fixing device can be securely attached to the wall, but the bathroom articles and decoration cover are vulnerable to damage during installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing securityVSAvoiddamage to bathroom articles
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing device is divided into separate components: a decoration cover, a hanging member, and a movable member. The hanging member can be independently installed on the expansion bolt first, then the decoration cover is attached without requiring disassembly, thus protecting the bathroom articles from damage during installation while maintaining secure attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging member serves as an intermediary component between the expansion bolt and the decoration cover. It allows the fixing device to be securely attached to the wall while providing a protective interface that prevents direct contact and potential damage to the bathroom articles during the installation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If all accessories are connected together, then the structure is integrated, but it is inconvenient to install bathroom articles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrationVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing device is segmented into separate installable components (hanging member, decoration cover, movable member) that can be assembled in a logical sequence. The hanging member is installed first on the expansion bolt, then the movable member is attached, and finally the decoration cover is secured. This segmentation allows for convenient step-by-step installation while achieving structural integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging member is pre-installed on the expansion bolt before attaching the decoration cover. This preliminary action allows the supporting member to be positioned and secured first, making the subsequent installation of the decoration cover simpler and more convenient, while maintaining the integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If decoration cover is disassembled for installation, then the fixed part can be attached, but the decoration cover surface is vulnerable to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly feasibilityVSAvoidsmudge and scratch on decoration cover
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The decoration cover is separated from the hanging member, allowing the hanging member to be installed on the expansion bolt first. This segmentation enables the decoration cover to remain intact and undamaged during the installation process, while still allowing for feasible assembly of the complete fixing device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging member acts as an intermediary that can be independently installed on the expansion bolt. This intermediary component allows the decoration cover to be attached afterward without requiring disassembly, thus protecting the decoration cover surface from smudges and scratches while maintaining assembly feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If traditional installation method is used, then the fixing device can be attached to the wall, but the bathroom articles may loosen over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment securityVSAvoidfixing stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The movable member is designed to move towards or away from the hanging connection groove, allowing dynamic adjustment during installation. The movable member is driven by a bolt to clamp the supporting member in the hanging connection groove, creating a dynamic clamping mechanism that ensures secure attachment and prevents loosening over time while maintaining fixing stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A wall hanging fixing device includes a decoration cover which is provided with a hanging member in its inner side. The hanging member is fixed on a supporting seat in the inner side of the decoration cover with screws. The hanging member is provided with a hanging connection groove which is fit with a supporting member. The fixing device is also provided with a movable member that can move towards or away from the hanging connection groove. It is easy and quick to install the wall hanging fixing device. After an expansion bolt is fixed, the hanging member of the fixing device is hung on the expansion bolt without any disassembly, so as to protect the bathroom articles, and the hanging member can be fixed. This design effectively prevents loosening.
