Assembled seat
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing seat bases with inverted "U"-shaped elbows occupy large space volume during transportation and packaging, leading to inefficient packaging and transportation.
Innovation Solution
The seat is designed with four disassemblable support leg assemblies and a connector system, allowing separate disassembly during transportation, with adjustable height and detachable connections for reduced packaging volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If inverted U-shaped elbow structures with connecting beams are used for seat support legs, then structural stability is improved, but packaging volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The seat base is segmented into separate support leg assemblies that can be disassembled from the seat plate. Each support leg assembly includes an inverted U-shaped elbow structure with connecting beams for stability, but they can be separated during packaging to reduce overall volume. The connector allows easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining structural integrity during use.
2Strength
If four support leg assemblies with inverted U-shaped elbows are used, then load-bearing capacity is improved, but transportation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The load-bearing structure is divided into four separate support leg assemblies, each capable of bearing load independently when assembled. During transportation, these assemblies can be disassembled and packed separately, significantly improving transportation efficiency while maintaining load-bearing capacity when reassembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The support leg assemblies are designed with detachable connections that allow dynamic transition between assembled (load-bearing) and disassembled (transport) states. This dynamic capability enables the structure to adapt to different operational requirements without compromising strength when assembled.
3Strength
If connecting beams are stacked in crossed shape to form base, then structural rigidity is improved, but disassembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The crossed connecting beams are segmented into separate support leg assemblies rather than being permanently fixed together. This segmentation allows the rigid crossed-beam structure to be disassembled into manageable components, reducing disassembly complexity while preserving structural rigidity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The support leg assemblies are pre-configured with connection interfaces that align with the seat plate's connector. This preliminary preparation of connection points simplifies the disassembly and reassembly process, making it straightforward despite the complex crossed-beam configuration.
