Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a common support device with bent support plate, screw and bracket is used, then the bathroom device can be fixed to the wall, but the mounting process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The support device is divided into separate functional components: a support plate with integrated clamping mechanism, a screw, and a bracket. The clamping blocks are segmented and can independently engage with the screw, allowing for simplified assembly where components can be mounted separately and then quickly assembled together without complex alignment procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping function and support function are merged into a single integrated support plate structure. The clamping blocks are integrated with the support plate, eliminating the need for separate clamping devices. The bracket is designed to work seamlessly with the integrated support plate, creating a unified mounting system that reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall mounting process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a common support device with fixed-distance bracket is used, then the structure is simple, but the distance between bracket and wall cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The support device transitions from a fixed-distance configuration to an adjustable-distance configuration through the screw mechanism. The screw can be rotated to move the bracket closer to or farther from the wall, and the clamping blocks dynamically engage or disengage from the screw to lock or release the desired position. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the mounting distance to be customized for different installation requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting distance parameter can be changed by rotating the screw, which moves the bracket along the screw axis. The clamping blocks are positioned to engage with specific threads on the screw, allowing the distance between the bracket and wall to be precisely adjusted and then locked in place. This parameter adjustment mechanism provides versatility for different installation scenarios without requiring multiple fixed-distance support devices.
3Productivity
If a common support device is used, then the components are simple, but rapid mounting and dismounting cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping blocks are pre-positioned on the support plate with their clamping surfaces oriented to engage with the screw. The bracket is pre-configured with mounting holes that align with the support plate. This preliminary arrangement allows the screw to be quickly inserted and rotated to engage the clamping blocks, achieving rapid mounting without complex alignment procedures. For dismounting, the screw is simply rotated to disengage the clamping blocks, enabling quick removal.
4Ease of manufacture
If a common support device is used, then the structure is straightforward, but mounting cost increases due to time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping blocks are designed to automatically engage with the screw when it is rotated into position, eliminating the need for separate clamping operations. The screw itself serves dual functions: positioning the bracket and activating the clamping mechanism through its rotation. This self-service mechanism reduces mounting time by combining multiple functions into a single action, thereby reducing labor costs and installation time.

AI summary
The invention discloses a conveniently-mounted wall support assembly. The conveniently-mounted wall support assembly comprises a screw (1) and a support (2) fixedly connected to a wall (10), wherein a matching hole (21) allowing one end of the screw (1) to be inserted therein is formed in the support (2), radial through holes (22) are formed in the inner side face of the matching hole (21), and clamping blocks (3) are mounted in the radial through holes (22); the support (2) is sleeved with a rotating sleeve (4), and driving surfaces (41) and receding grooves (42) are arranged on the inner surface of the rotating sleeve (4); after one end of the screw (1) is inserted into the matching hole (21), the clamping blocks (3) are driven by the driving surfaces (41) to move towards the screw (1) so as to tightly clamp the screw (1) when the rotating sleeve (4) is rotated to enable the driving surfaces (41) to be matched with the clamping blocks (3), and the clamping blocks (3) can be separated from the screw (1) when the rotating sleeve (4) is rotated to enable the receding grooves (42) to be matched with the clamping blocks (3). Furthermore, a plurality of thread matching grooves (31) matched with external threads of the screw (1) are formed in the side, close to the matching hole (21), of each clamping block (3), and the thread matching grooves (31) in the clamping blocks (3) are matched with the external threads of the screw (1) when the camping blocks (3) are driven by the driving surfaces (41) to move towards the screw (1). The wall support assembly can be mounted and dismounted rapidly, and the mounting cost can be reduced.
