Solution Overview

Problem

Existing large-size sofas are inconvenient to transport and have high transportation costs due to their overall size, necessitating special transportation tools.

Innovation Solution

The sofa is designed with a split chair seat and chair back, connected by bolts, and reinforced with support frames and legs, allowing for easier assembly and disassembly for transportation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the chair seat and chair back are integrally formed, then the structural strength is improved, but the package size increases making transportation inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidpackage size
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The chair seat is divided into two separate plates (first chair seat plate and second chair seat plate) that can be detached from each other. The chair back is also divided into two separate plates. This segmentation allows the components to be disassembled into smaller parts for compact packaging and convenient transportation, while still maintaining structural strength through proper connection design with bolts and support frames.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the sofa is designed as a large overall size, then the comfort and functionality are improved, but the transportation cost increases and special transportation tools are needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomfort and functionalityVSAvoidtransportation cost and convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the sofa into detachable components (two chair seat plates, two chair back plates, handrail frames, support frames), the large-size sofa can be disassembled into smaller parts that fit into standard packaging. This eliminates the need for special transportation tools and reduces transportation costs, while the sofa can be reassembled to its full comfortable size at the destination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sofa design incorporates detachable and reconfigurable components that allow the product to dynamically change its state between assembled (for use) and disassembled (for transportation). The bolt connections and support frames enable easy assembly and disassembly, making the sofa adaptable to different operational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention relates to the technical field of sofas, and in particular, to an easy-to-transport assembled sofa chair, including a chair seat, where handrail frames are respectively disposed on two sides of a body of the chair seat, a chair back is disposed between the handrail frames, and the chair back is located on a rear side of the chair seat; the chair back is formed by splicing two chair back plates, and the chair seat is formed by splicing two chair seat plates; and a support frame is added between the chair back and the chair seat, so that overall firmness of the sofa is enhanced. The chair seat and the chair back are split, so that a package size is reduced, thereby reducing transportation costs.
