Detachable Lighting Housing for Adjustable Product Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional product display systems are inflexible and require multiple units to accommodate products of different dimensions, weights, and physical properties, making them difficult to load and visually unappealing, which limits their effectiveness in retail settings.
Innovation Solution
A modular product display system featuring slidably coupled side walls, a pusher mechanism with a spring, and a detachable lighting housing, allowing for adjustable width and height configurations, easy loading, and enhanced visual appeal through customizable lighting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional product display systems use fixed-size designs, then manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to different product dimensions is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into modular components including adjustable side walls, detachable front plates, and separable support structures. This segmentation allows individual components to be configured for different product sizes while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The side walls are designed to be adjustable and reconfigurable rather than fixed, allowing the display system to dynamically adapt to different product dimensions. The adjustable mechanisms enable retailers to modify the display configuration without requiring multiple different display units.
2Device complexity
If pusher mechanisms use static pushing force, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different product weights is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The pusher mechanism incorporates an adjustable spring force parameter, allowing the pushing force to be modified based on product weight. This enables a single pusher design to handle various product weights by changing the spring tension, rather than requiring multiple pushers with different force characteristics.
3Device complexity
If conventional display systems lack loading assistance, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation during loading is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The front plate is designed to be detachable and movable, allowing it to be removed or shifted during the loading process to provide easier access to the display interior. This dynamic loading assistance feature improves ease of operation without requiring complex automated loading mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system provides a versatile and visually appealing solution for displaying various products by accommodating different sizes and weights, simplifying loading, and enhancing consumer attention with adjustable features.
Implementation Method 1
The pusher mechanism can include a pusher paddle and a spring, such that said pusher paddle is moveable relative to the base along the first axis
