Detachable folding bookshelf
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Folding bookshelves with integrally connected support frames and bases occupy space even when folded due to the inability to detach the support frame for storage.
Innovation Solution
A detachable folding bookshelf design where the folding support frame can be stored within a storage cavity of the base, allowing easy assembly, disassembly, and stability, with movable baffles forming V-shaped accommodating spaces for increased storage capacity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the support frame and base are integrally connected, then the structure is stable, but the support frame cannot be detached for storage, resulting in space occupation even when folded
Solution Approach 1:
The bookshelf is divided into separate components: the base and the folding support frame are detachably connected rather than integrally connected. This segmentation allows the support frame to be detached and stored within the base when not in use, reducing space occupation while maintaining structural stability during assembly through proper connection mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The folding support frame is designed to be stored within the base when folded, creating a nested configuration. The base serves as the outer container that accommodates the folded support frame, maximizing space efficiency while maintaining a compact storage profile
2Volume of moving object
If the folding support frame is designed to be detachable, then storage space is reduced, but assembly and disassembly operations become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable connection is achieved through segmented design with standardized connection interfaces between the base and support frame. This segmentation with proper interface design simplifies assembly and disassembly operations while enabling the support frame to be stored within the base, reducing storage space requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The base serves multiple functions: it provides structural support when assembled and serves as a storage container for the folded support frame. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate storage components, simplifying the overall device while enabling compact storage

AI summary
Provided in the present disclosure is a detachable folding bookshelf, including: a base having a storage cavity, and a folding support frame detectably assembled with the base. The folding support frame has an unfolded state and a folded state, and when in the folded state, the folding support frame is capable of being stored within the storage cavity.
