Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional pad supporting frames have large delivery and mold volumes, and their carrier boards are prone to deformation during cutting, which compromises the cutting quality of the pad.

Innovation Solution

A detachable pad supporting frame design featuring a carrier board with connecting holes and a supporting structure with connecting protrusions and retaining holes, allowing the supporting structure to be detached for separate stacking and reducing mold volume, ensuring the carrier board contacts the tabletop directly during cutting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the supporting structure is integrated with the carrier board, then the structural strength is improved, but the delivery volume increases and the mold volume increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoiddelivery volume
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The pad supporting frame is divided into separate components: the carrier board and the supporting structure. The supporting structure includes supporting feet that can be detachably connected to the carrier board through connecting holes and connecting protrusions. This segmentation allows the components to be stacked separately during delivery, reducing the overall delivery volume while maintaining structural strength when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the supporting feet are integrated with the carrier board, then the structural stability is improved, but the carrier board deformation during cutting increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidcutting quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure is separated from the carrier board, allowing the carrier board to be directly disposed on the tabletop during cutting operations. This provides full support to the carrier board, preventing deformation under cutting forces while maintaining structural stability through the detachable supporting feet.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Volume of moving object

If the supporting structure is detachable from the carrier board, then the delivery volume is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedelivery volumeVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pad supporting frame is segmented into a carrier board and a supporting structure that can be detachably connected. The connecting mechanism uses simple connecting holes in the carrier board and corresponding connecting protrusions on the supporting feet, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly without complex fastening systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Force

If the supporting feet directly contact the tabletop during cutting, then the carrier board is supported, but the carrier board deforms under cutting force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport forceVSAvoidcutting quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure is separated from the carrier board, allowing the carrier board to be directly disposed on the tabletop during cutting operations. This provides full surface contact and uniform support distribution across the entire bottom surface of the carrier board, preventing localized deformation under cutting forces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The invention relates to a pad supporting frame that has a carrier board (10) and a supporting structure (20). The supporting structure (20) is detachably disposed on the carrier board (10). The supporting structure (20) is detachably disposed on the bottom surface of the carrier board (10). In delivery, the carrier board (10) and the supporting structure (20) can be stacked separately for increasing the utilization of the delivery space. Molds of the carrier board (10) and the supporting structure (20) can be made separately for decreasing the volumes of the molds. For cutting a pad disposed on the carrier board (10), the carrier board (10) can be directly disposed on the tabletop. The carrier board (10) will not be deformed and the cutting quality of the pad is improved.
