Solution Overview

Problem

Existing cabinet splicing technologies face challenges with poor guiding effect and difficult installation due to pin-hole fitting, leading to inconvenient maintenance and installation difficulties.

Innovation Solution

A quick-splicing structure utilizing slidably fitting components and locking components, allowing for misaligned alignment and rapid initial positioning through sliding-rail-type components, with L-shaped fasteners and pulley support for enhanced stability and ease of splicing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If pin-hole fitting is used for guiding and positioning during cabinet splicing, then the splicing connection is achieved, but the guiding effect is poor and installation is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation convenienceVSAvoidguiding and positioning complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The splicing connection is divided into two independent functional components: sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components for guiding and positioning, and locking components for final connection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally without interfering with the other, resolving the contradiction between ease of installation and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components act as an intermediary mechanism between the two cabinet surfaces. They provide a guided path for positioning and alignment before the locking components engage, thereby improving guiding effect and installation convenience while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of repair

If pin-hole fitting is used for guiding and positioning, then the splicing connection is established, but maintenance is inconvenient when equipment fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance convenienceVSAvoidsplicing connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the guiding/positioning function (sliding-rail-type components) from the locking function (locking components), the system allows for easier maintenance and replacement. If a component fails, the segmented structure enables targeted replacement without requiring disassembly of the entire splicing connection, thereby improving maintenance convenience while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If traditional splicing approaches are used, then cabinets can be connected, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing speedVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding-rail-type slidably fitting components are pre-installed on the cabinet surfaces to provide ready-to-use guiding and positioning functionality. This preliminary action eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site alignment and positioning operations, thereby increasing splicing speed and reducing installation time while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
