Storage facility for object of paying of respects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional storage facilities for paying respects do not allow users to change the orientation of objects at the support location, limiting the preferred viewing orientation for individuals paying respects.
Innovation Solution
A storage facility with an orientation changing device integrated into the transport system, enabling the object to be reoriented during transport to match the desired orientation selected by the person visiting, using a linear transport turning mechanism to adjust the object's position so that either the first or second viewing surface faces the respects-paying location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the object is transported to the support location with a fixed orientation, then the transport system is simple, but the person visiting cannot view the object in their preferred orientation
Solution Approach 1:
The transport system incorporates an orientation changing device that can dynamically adjust the orientation of the object during transport. This allows the object to be rotated to different orientations (e.g., 90 degrees, 180 degrees) based on the viewing preferences of persons visiting, while maintaining a relatively simple overall transport system structure.
2Ease of operation
If the object is transported with a single fixed orientation, then the device complexity is low, but the viewing experience for persons with different preferences is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows persons visiting to select their preferred viewing orientation themselves. The orientation changing device responds to the selected orientation, enabling persons to view the object in their preferred orientation (e.g., to see information on the plate or contents of the container) without requiring complex manual intervention or repositioning by staff.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the object maintains a fixed orientation during transport, then the transport system is straightforward, but persons cannot view different surfaces of the object
Solution Approach 1:
The orientation changing device enables dynamic reorientation of the object during transport, allowing different surfaces (such as the plate with information or the container with contents) to be presented to persons visiting based on their viewing preferences, while keeping the transport system structure relatively simple.

AI summary
A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a plurality of storage locations each configured to store an object of paying of respects, a respects-paying area which includes an area for a person, visiting to pay respects, to pay respects in, a transport system configured to transport an object of paying of respects between the storage location and a support location provided in the respects-paying area, and an orientation changing device which is located on a transporting path of the transport system. The orientation changing device changes an orientation of an object of paying of respects so that the object is in a selected orientation at the support location, the selected orientation being selected from a plurality of different orientations.
