Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional modular sofas are difficult to transport and assemble due to their monolithic design, requiring extensive mounting and high accessory counts, which increases costs and reduces efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A detachable modular sofa design featuring a recliner and sofa that can be easily disassembled using adjustable brackets, allowing for efficient packaging and reduced storage and transportation space, while also enhancing mounting efficiency and reducing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the sofa is designed as a monolithic structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the transportation convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidtransportation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The sofa is divided into multiple independent modules including seat modules, backrest modules, and armrest modules that can be detached and reconfigured. Each module maintains structural integrity through internal reinforcement while enabling flexible assembly and disassembly for convenient transportation and storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the extension frame is mounted with rollers and the board is mounted on the fixing frame, then the pulling function is improved, but the mounting time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepulling functionVSAvoidmounting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The extension frame incorporates self-aligning features and quick-connect mechanisms that automatically guide components into proper positions during assembly, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment and reducing mounting time while maintaining the pulling function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple functions are integrated into single components - the extension frame combines rolling movement, structural support, and quick-release mechanisms into one unified structure, reducing the number of separate mounting operations required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If multiple accessories are used for mounting the extension frame and fixing frame, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidaccessory count
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

A universal mounting system is implemented where standardized connectors and fasteners are designed to serve multiple functions across different sofa configurations. The same accessory types are used throughout the assembly, reducing variety while maintaining reliable connections for various mounting requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
