Detachable Bracket Pool Tray Integrated Into Joint Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing above-ground pool storage solutions are inconvenient, require additional complex fixing members, and are costly and time-consuming to install and disassemble.
Innovation Solution
A detachable storage tray with a joint assembly for bracket pools, featuring a receiving channel and installation portion with coupling regions and connectors, allowing easy installation and removal, made from plastic materials with a reinforcing layer for stability and reduced manufacturing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If storage devices are fixed to the pool body using additional fixing members, then storage function is improved, but device complexity increases and structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The storage tray is merged with the joint assembly structure, where the tray bottom wall integrates with the joint body and the tray side walls are supported by the joint assembly. This combination eliminates the need for separate fixing members while providing both structural support and storage functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The joint assembly serves multiple functions: it connects pool components (original structural function) and simultaneously provides a built-in storage tray for holding objects (new storage function). This multi-functionality eliminates the need for additional separate storage devices and fixing members.
2Reliability
If additional fixing members are used to secure storage devices, then storage stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to tedious installation and disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The storage tray is integrated as part of the joint assembly structure rather than being a separate component requiring additional fixing members. The tray bottom wall and side walls are directly supported by structural elements of the joint assembly, providing stability while enabling easy installation and removal by simply detaching the entire joint assembly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate storage spaces are used away from the pool, then storage function is provided, but ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient location
Solution Approach 1:
The storage tray is integrated directly into the joint assembly at the pool structure, placing the storage function at the convenient location of the pool itself rather than requiring separate storage spaces away from the pool area. This provides both storage capability and easy accessibility to pool users.

AI summary
A joint assembly for a bracket pool. The joint assembly includes at least one receiving channel for receiving a supporting tube of the bracket pool. The joint assembly also includes an installation portion defining at least one coupling region. A detachable storage tray including a containing portion for storing objects and at least one connector is removably coupled to the at least one coupling region of the installation portion for removably connecting the detachable storage tray the installation portion. The detachable storage tray is very convenient to install and disassemble, very stable in use, does not occupy extra space, and has low economic costs and manufacturing time and costs.
