Innovation Solution
A console box design featuring a detachable lid with integrated additional functions such as legs for use as a chair, table, or pillow, and a power supply system for mobile devices, enhancing usability and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lid is made detachable from the box body to add new functions, then the versatility and adaptability of the console box is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The console box is divided into separable components: the box body and the lid. The lid can be detached from the box body through a lock mechanism, allowing it to be used independently as a portable seat or tray, thereby adding versatility without significantly complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The lid is designed to serve multiple functions: it can close the storage compartment when attached to the box body, and it can be detached to function as a portable seat or tray. This multi-functionality increases versatility while maintaining relatively simple structural design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional functions are integrated into the lid such as power supply system, then the functionality and utility are improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is integrated into the lid by combining the battery, charging terminal, and wireless charging coil within the lid structure. This merging of components adds functionality while maintaining a compact and manufacturable design.
Solution Approach 2:
The lid incorporates multiple functional elements including mechanical opening/closing, electrical charging through terminal connection, and wireless charging through coil integration. These combined functions enhance utility while using standard components that facilitate manufacturing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the lid is configured to be detachable and used as a portable seat or tray, then the adaptability is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lid is designed as a separable component that can be removed from the box body. When detached, it functions independently as a portable seat or tray, providing adaptability through simple segmentation rather than complex mechanical transformations.
Solution Approach 2:
The lid transitions between two states: attached to the box body for storage closure, and detached for use as a portable seat or tray. This dynamic reconfigurability provides adaptability while maintaining simple structural design in each state.

AI summary
A console box includes a box body including a storage that has an upper opening and a lid detachably coupled to the box body and configured to open and close the upper opening. The lid includes an additional function portion that allows a user to use the lid in a manner that is different from the opening and closing of the upper opening.
