Detachable Five-Star Base with Nested Clamping for Rotation Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing detachable five-star bases for swivel chairs suffer from insufficient structural strength, leading to easy rotation and disintegration when lifted off the ground, and existing solutions either have low structural strength or are difficult to disassemble and assemble efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A detachable five-star base design featuring clamping plates, arc-shaped groove plates, support blocks, connecting grooves, arc-shaped connecting plates, and jacking blocks, allowing for easy engagement and positioning during disassembly and assembly, with adjustable number of detachable feet for varying usage requirements, providing moderate resistance and high support strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the five-star base uses an integral structure, then the structural strength is high, but the space occupation is large and replacement cost is high when damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The five-star base is divided into a center block and multiple detachable feet. The center block remains integral while the feet can be separated for compact storage and selective replacement. Connection structures including clamping plates, arc-shaped groove plates, and positioning pins enable the segmented structure to maintain strength while reducing space occupation when disassembled.
2Volume of moving object
If the five-star base uses a detachable structure with easy disassembly, then the space occupation is reduced, but the structural strength becomes insufficient and feet rotate easily
Solution Approach 1:
Positioning pins and arc-shaped groove plates are pre-configured in specific positions to guide the feet into correct alignment during assembly. The clamping plates are pre-positioned to engage with the feet, providing immediate structural support upon connection. This preliminary configuration ensures that even with easy disassembly capability, the structure maintains sufficient strength when assembled.
3Ease of operation
If the detachable feet are connected with simple connection structures, then the disassembly and assembly are easy, but the feet are easy to rotate and fall apart
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure employs nested components where positioning pins fit into positioning holes, clamping plates overlay the feet, and arc-shaped groove plates interlock with the center block. This nested arrangement provides multiple levels of constraint that prevent rotation and falling while allowing relatively simple disassembly by reversing the nesting sequence.
4Stability of the object's composition
If multiple connection components are used to prevent rotation, then the foot stability is improved, but the disassembly and assembly workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple connection functions are merged into integrated components. The clamping plates simultaneously provide clamping force and positioning guidance. The arc-shaped groove plates combine positioning, limiting, and support functions in a single element. This merging reduces the number of separate components while maintaining foot stability, thereby controlling disassembly and assembly workload.
