Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen-bearing arrangements are not suitable for slopes, lack modularity, and do not allow quick and simple installation, especially in larger setups, and are not robust against wind gusts.
Innovation Solution
A supporting frame system comprising supporting feet, support profiles, guide profiles, and coupling elements that allow for modular, adaptable, and structurally stable installation on inclined surfaces, with rotatable connectors for adjusting angles and anchoring mechanisms to secure the frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If fixed installations are used for screens, then installation at a known angle is achieved, but adaptability to varying angles of inclination is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure incorporates adjustable legs with variable length capabilities and rotatable connectors that allow the frame to adapt to different inclination angles. The legs can be extended or retracted to compensate for slope variations, and the connectors enable angular adjustment to maintain proper screen orientation regardless of the underlying surface angle.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows modification of geometric parameters including leg length, connector angles, and frame dimensions to accommodate different installation scenarios. By changing these parameters, the structure can be configured for precise installation at various inclination angles while maintaining structural integrity and screen positioning accuracy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If modular structures are used for screens, then adaptability to different settings is improved, but structural stability against wind gusts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The modular components are connected through robust coupling mechanisms that integrate multiple functions into single connection points. The connectors combine locking, positioning, and structural reinforcement functions, creating rigid joints that maintain stability while preserving modularity. The support feet merge stabilization and anchoring functions, providing a solid base that resists wind forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure employs composite construction combining different materials with complementary properties - lightweight materials for the frame components to facilitate assembly and transport, reinforced with strategic use of high-strength materials at critical connection points and support elements to ensure wind resistance and structural integrity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If complex anchoring mechanisms are used, then stability on slopes is improved, but ease of installation and dismantling deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring system is divided into discrete, independent components - adjustable legs, modular support feet, and separable connectors - that can be individually configured and assembled. This segmentation allows each component to perform its stabilization function while maintaining simple, tool-free assembly and dismantling operations through snap-fit or quick-release mechanisms.
4Strength
If robust structures are used for large-scale setups, then wind resistance is improved, but ease of assembly and dismantling deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The robust structure is divided into standardized modular sections that can be assembled in a systematic sequence. Each module is self-contained with pre-configured connection interfaces, allowing workers to assemble the large-scale setup by repeatedly attaching identical components, thereby maintaining simplicity despite the overall structural complexity and size.
