Adjustable Door Leaf Housing for Multi-Size Module Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The diversity of electronic device models required to accommodate modules of different sizes and specifications increases production and maintenance costs, as manufacturers need to develop various devices to fit various user needs.
Innovation Solution
A housing design featuring a pivotally connected door leaf set that adjusts the size of the opening, allowing modules of different sizes to be inserted by creating multiple installation spaces within the housing shell, thereby eliminating the need for multiple device models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If various types of electronic devices are produced to fit modules of different sizes, then user needs are met, but production and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate modules of different sizes through adjustable door leaves. The same housing can serve multiple functions by adjusting the opening size, eliminating the need for different housing models for different module specifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The door leaves are designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the opening size. This enables the housing to adapt to different module dimensions by changing the state of the door leaves from closed to partially open positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple device models are developed to match modules of different sizes, then various user needs are satisfied, but model diversity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single housing model is designed to perform multiple functions by accommodating different module sizes through adjustable door leaves, eliminating the need to manufacture multiple housing models for different module specifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing design allows parameter changes in the opening size through movable door leaves, enabling the same housing structure to adapt to different module dimensions without requiring different manufacturing processes or tooling.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed-size housings are used, then manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to different module sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The housing transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic one with movable door leaves that can be adjusted during assembly to accommodate different module sizes, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while adding adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is segmented into fixed components (housing shell) and movable components (door leaves), allowing the fixed part to be manufactured efficiently while the movable part provides the necessary flexibility for different module configurations.

AI summary
The present invention provides a housing having a housing shell with an opening, a guidance component and a door leaf set. The guidance component is arranged in the housing shell and extending along the direction away from the opening. The door leaf set has a first door leaf and a second door leaf. The first door leaf is pivotally connected the housing shell to enable the first door leaf to rotate to a first position or a second position relative to the opening. Wherein when the first door leaf is positioned at the first position, the first door leaf shields a portion of the opening; when the first door leaf is positioned at the second position, the first door leaf extends into the housing shell and defines the first installation space with the guiding component. Wherein when the first door leaf is positioned at the first position, the second door leaf can rotate to a third position or a fourth position relative to the first door leaf; when the second door leaf is positioned at the third position, the second door leaf shields another portion of the opening; when the second door leaf is positioned at the fourth position, the second door leaf extends into the housing shell and defines the second installation space with the guiding component.
