Smart logistics cabinet and adjustable partition structure thereof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage cabinets have fixed storage spaces that are difficult to adjust, limiting flexibility in accommodating items of varying sizes.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable partition structure within the smart logistics cabinet, comprising a guiding member, support blocks, and an adjustable partition plate that can be pivoted and slid to adjust the size of storage spaces, allowing for customizable storage configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed partition plates are used in storage cabinets, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability of storage space sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The partition plate is transformed from a fixed static component to a dynamic adjustable component. The partition plate can be pivoted between horizontal and tilted positions, and slid along the guiding member, enabling dynamic adjustment of storage space sizes to accommodate different delivery scenarios while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of basic mechanical elements like guiding members and support blocks.
2Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable partition structures are added to storage cabinets, then the flexibility of storage configurations is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The partition adjustment mechanism is segmented into independent functional components: guiding members fixed to the cabinet wall, support blocks positioned at discrete height intervals, and the adjustable partition plate itself. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function simply, while their combination provides complex adjustment capabilities. The partition plate can be independently pivoted and slid without requiring complex integrated mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The support blocks serve as intermediary elements between the guiding members and the partition plate. They provide discrete support points that enable the partition plate to be positioned at multiple predetermined heights without requiring continuous adjustment mechanisms. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall structure by using simple block elements rather than complex mechanical adjustment devices.

AI summary
An adjustable partition structure includes a guiding member, two sets of support blocks, and an adjustable partition structure. The guiding member is fixed to a rear plate. The two sets of support blocks are respectively disposed on two side plates. Each set of support blocks includes a number of support blocks arranged in a longitudinal direction of the side plates. The adjustable partition structure includes a sliding member and an adjustable partition plate. The sliding member defines a sliding hole. The guiding member is received in the sliding hole. The sliding member is slidable relative to the rear plate along the guiding member. The adjustable partition plate and the sliding member are rotationally coupled together. Two side edges of the adjustable partition plate respectively form an abutting piece. The two abutting pieces are supported by the support blocks on a same plane to support the adjustable partition plate.
