Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cold rooms are immobile and non-collapsible, limiting their applications and requiring fixed installation systems, which hinders their use in various scenarios such as private events or temporary storage needs.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible enclosure assembly with a modular design, featuring a base with upstanding ledges and interconnecting walls that can be folded or pivoted using hinges, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly into a compact state, and equipped with a detachable cooling system for temperature control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional cold rooms use fixed and permanent installation systems, then temperature control reliability is improved, but mobility and adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The cold room is divided into modular components including collapsible walls, base, and roof panels that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each wall panel connects through corner posts and fastening members, allowing the structure to be segmented for easy transportation and reconfiguration while maintaining functional integrity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The cold room employs collapsible and expandable structural elements that transition between compact stored state and expanded operational state. The walls can be folded inward parallel to the base when collapsed, and extended outward when expanded, enabling the structure to adapt its configuration dynamically based on usage requirements.
2Stability of the object's composition
If conventional cold rooms are built in immobile manner, then structural stability is improved, but ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The structure is segmented into standardized modular components with consistent connection mechanisms. Corner posts serve as central hubs connecting wall panels, base, and roof through standardized fastening members, allowing stable assembly through repetitive modular units that simplify the construction process while ensuring structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall panels, base, and roof are designed with pre-configured connection points and attachment mechanisms that align during assembly. The corner posts include pre-positioned connection features that guide the assembly process, allowing components to be quickly connected in a predetermined sequence without requiring complex alignment procedures.
3Reliability
If conventional cold rooms require fixed installation, then temperature preservation reliability is improved, but productivity and quick deployment deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The insulation system is segmented into panels integrated with the wall structure, allowing the thermal envelope to be assembled concurrently with the structural framework. This modular approach enables the temperature-preserving insulation to be installed as part of the quick assembly process rather than as a separate fixed installation step.
Solution Approach 2:
The collapsible design allows the entire cold room structure including insulation to be rapidly deployed from a compact state to an operational state. The walls fold into position and lock securely, creating an immediate sealed environment that maintains temperature reliability without requiring lengthy installation procedures.
4Strength
If conventional cold rooms are non-collapsible, then structural strength is improved, but portability and storage efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The cold room employs dynamically collapsible walls that maintain full structural strength when in the expanded operational position through rigid panel construction and secure fastening. When collapsed, the walls fold inward parallel to the base in a controlled manner, reducing the footprint to a fraction of the expanded size while preserving the integrity of individual components for repeated use.
