Solution Overview
Problem
Air conditioners pose a pollution risk due to dust accumulation and lack a designated place for bolts during assembly and disassembly, leading to easy loss.
Innovation Solution
A panel body structure with a storage portion featuring a magnetic adsorption element and limiting ribs to securely store and retrieve bolts, preventing loss during assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a storage portion with magnetic adsorption element is added to the panel body, then bolt retention capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The storage portion is integrated into the panel body structure, merging the storage function with the existing panel design. The magnetic adsorption element is embedded within the panel body's limiting space, combining multiple functions (structural support, storage, and magnetic retention) into a unified design that minimizes additional complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic adsorption element acts as an intermediary between the panel body and the bolts, providing a non-mechanical retention mechanism. This intermediary approach allows bolts to be held securely without requiring physical slots or compartments, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining reliability
2Stability of the object's composition
If limiting ribs and enclosing plates are added to form a limiting space, then stability of magnetic adsorption element is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting space is created by dividing the panel body into functional zones using limiting ribs and enclosing plates. This segmentation provides precise positioning and stable mounting for the magnetic adsorption element, while each component (ribs, plates, and space) can be manufactured and assembled independently, managing manufacturing complexity through modular construction
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple third limiting ribs are spaced or staggered, then magnetic adsorption element positioning is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The third limiting ribs are arranged in a staggered or spaced asymmetric pattern rather than a uniform grid. This asymmetric arrangement provides effective positioning and support for the magnetic adsorption element while reducing the total number of ribs needed, thereby improving positioning precision without proportionally increasing device complexity
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
The solution effectively prevents bolt loss and improves user experience by providing a designated, secure space for storing and retrieving bolts, enhancing the stability of the magnetic adsorption element and ensuring bolts are not easily shaken or fallen.
Implementation Method 1
a magnetic adsorption element, the magnetic adsorption element is connected with the surface of the panel body, and the magnetic adsorption element is usable for adsorbing the bolts
