Wall holder and fixing set
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall mounts cannot be easily adapted to match the design of electrical installations, and they do not efficiently integrate lighting elements into sanitary fixtures, making it difficult to create a uniform design in bathrooms and requiring visible power supply solutions.
Innovation Solution
A wall bracket with a base plate featuring slotted holes and a bolt with a longitudinal bore allows for easy routing of electricity through the bracket, enabling integration with existing electrical installations and providing a unified design aesthetic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wall brackets are designed to match electrical installation design, then design uniformity is improved, but installation flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides mechanical attachment for wall brackets and simultaneously serves as an electrical conduit platform. The through-opening allows the base plate to function both as a mounting surface and as a pathway for electrical cables, enabling the same component to address both mechanical and electrical requirements without requiring separate dedicated elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The base plate incorporates a through-opening that segments the plate into distinct regions: an upper region for mechanical attachment and a lower region for cable routing. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each function while maintaining overall integration, enabling cables to pass through without interfering with the mounting mechanism.
2Shape
If power supply is concealed in wall brackets, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical cable routing is merged with the mechanical mounting structure through the through-opening in the base plate. Instead of requiring separate cable conduits or surface-mounted wiring, the cable path is integrated directly into the mounting component, combining aesthetic concealment with structural function in a single element.
Solution Approach 2:
The base plate acts as an intermediary element between the wall-mounted electrical outlet and the wall bracket. It provides a transition zone where cables can be routed from the electrical installation through the base plate to the bracket, concealing the power supply connection while maintaining electrical functionality.
3Productivity
If existing electrical installations are utilized, then installation time is reduced, but design adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is designed as a universal interface that can accommodate various electrical installation configurations. The through-opening and mounting holes can adapt to different outlet positions and cable routing requirements, allowing the same base plate design to work with existing electrical installations while maintaining design flexibility for different wall bracket applications.
