Desk for music expert
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional desks are not designed to accommodate music experts' needs, leading to wrist strain and insufficient space for keyboards, monitors, and speakers, with existing computer desks having limited width and low support capacity for keyboard drawers.
Innovation Solution
A desk with a sliding plate that adjusts in height, supported by guide rails and a center reinforcing rail to prevent sagging, allowing for optimal placement of keyboards and monitors, and featuring adjustable support frames and shock-absorbing pads for speakers and sterilization mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a keyboard is placed on a conventional desk, then the desk can be used for general purposes, but the keyboard occupies large area and the height is not suitable for playing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a sliding plate mechanism that allows the keyboard support surface to move horizontally and adjust its height vertically. This dynamic structure enables the keyboard to be positioned at an ergonomically suitable height and location, resolving the contradiction between playing convenience and desk space utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The desk is segmented into a fixed top plate and a movable sliding plate. The sliding plate can be independently adjusted within the desk structure, separating the keyboard placement function from the main desk surface. This allows optimal keyboard positioning without compromising the overall desk space.
2Ease of operation
If a keyboard drawer is added to a computer desk, then keyboard accessibility is improved, but the drawer is limited in width and has low support capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding plate is designed to move along guide rails with smooth transitions, providing dynamic accessibility to the keyboard while maintaining structural integrity. The horizontal and vertical movement capabilities enhance ease of operation without requiring a deep drawer structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide rails act as intermediary elements between the sliding plate and the desk frame. These rails provide the necessary support and guidance, enabling the sliding plate to carry keyboard weight effectively while maintaining a compact desk structure with adequate support capacity.
3Ease of operation
If the sliding plate is made wider to accommodate keyboards, then keyboard placement is improved, but the plate sags under the weight of the keyboard
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding plate incorporates local reinforcement elements such as ribs or strengthened sections in areas experiencing high stress from keyboard weight. This localized strengthening maintains overall plate stability and prevents sagging while preserving the necessary width for comfortable keyboard placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding plate is constructed using composite materials or a composite structure combining multiple layers or materials with different properties. This composite construction provides both the width needed for keyboard placement and the structural rigidity to prevent sagging under load.
4Strength
If the desk structure is reinforced to support heavy keyboards, then support capacity is improved, but the complexity of the desk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide rails serve as intermediary support structures that distribute the keyboard weight along their length and transfer it to the desk frame at multiple points. This intermediary mechanism provides high support capacity while maintaining a relatively simple overall desk structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliding plate mechanism with guide rails provides a dynamic support system that adapts to keyboard placement positions. The system achieves high support capacity through the mechanical advantage of the rail-guided movement rather than through excessive static reinforcement, thereby avoiding unnecessary structural complexity.
