Wall Mount Hanger Locking Structure for One-Handed Shower Release
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall mount base devices for hand-held showers require users to control a locking mechanism on the wall mount bracket with one hand and release the shower with another, making it inconvenient to handle the shower with one hand.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount base device with a locking mechanism integrated into the hanging member, allowing for one-handed operation by using a transmission mechanism with a rotating circle and cam surfaces to control locking members that lock into an annular groove, enabling secure and easy attachment and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the locking mechanism is disposed on the wall mount bracket, then the hand-held shower can be locked securely, but the user needs to control the locking mechanism with one hand and release the shower with another hand, making it inconvenient for one-handed operation
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is inverted from the wall mount bracket to the hanging member itself. The operating member is disposed on the hanging member rather than on the wall mount bracket, allowing the user to control the locking mechanism with the same hand that holds the hanging member, thereby achieving convenient one-handed operation while maintaining secure locking.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the locking mechanism is disposed on the wall mount bracket, then the locking structure is stable, but the structure becomes more complex and requires more space on the wall mount bracket
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is extracted from the wall mount bracket and integrated into the hanging member. This extraction simplifies the wall mount bracket structure and reduces its complexity, while the locking functionality is maintained through the integrated design of the locking members, transmission mechanism, and operating member within the hanging member.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables secure one-handed locking and unlocking of the hand-held shower to the wall mount bracket, improving user convenience and stability with a compact and reliable design.
Implementation Method 1
The hanging member comprises one or more elastic members, and the one or more elastic members are connected between the locking mechanism and the hanging member to enable the locking mechanism to be reset
Implementation Method 2
The transmission mechanism comprises a rotating circle configured to rotate relative to the hanging member, and the operating member is operatively connected to the rotating circle to drive the rotating circle to rotate. The rotating circle is disposed with one or more cam surfaces, the one or more locking members are configured to be slidably connected to the hanging member, the one or more locking members are disposed with one or more matching portions, and the one or more matching portions abut the one or more cam surfaces to drive the one or more locking members to slide due to a rotation of the rotating circle

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a wall mount base device. The wall mount base device comprises a wall mount bracket and a hanging member configured to be hung on the wall mount bracket. The wall mount bracket is disposed with a hanger, and the hanger comprises a locking groove. The hanging member is disposed with a locking mechanism, and the locking mechanism comprises one or more locking members, a transmission mechanism, and an operating member. The hanging member is configured to detachably cooperate with and encompass an outer side of the hanger, and the hanger cooperates with and is encompassed in the hanging member disposed on an outer side of the hanger. When the one or more locking members are disposed at the locked positions, the one or more locking members are disposed in the locking groove to enable the hanging member to be locked to the wall mount bracket.
