Solution Overview

Problem

Existing outdoor storage boxes are inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, particularly for outdoor use, and are cumbersome for transportation due to their single-function design.

Innovation Solution

A detachable outdoor storage box with a snap-fitted structure comprising a box body, bottom plate, and cover, where the bottom plate consists of snap-fitted unit plates and surrounding plates, and the box cover is connected via hinges, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and features rolling wheels for mobility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional single-function box is used, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability and functionality for outdoor activities are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctionality for outdoor activitiesVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage box is designed with multi-functionality to serve various outdoor activity needs. The box body can be detached from the bottom plate and box cover, allowing it to function as a standalone container or be assembled with different configurations for tools, camping equipment, or other outdoor gear, thereby achieving universal applicability across different outdoor scenarios

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

Solution Approach 2:

The storage box is divided into separate modular components: a box body, a detachable bottom plate with unit plates, and a box cover. These segments can be independently assembled and disassembled through snap-fitting mechanisms, enabling the box to be configured for different storage needs while maintaining structural integrity when assembled

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a traditional storage box is used, then the structure is intact, but the assembly and disassembly process is inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly and disassembly convenienceVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The storage box incorporates dynamic assembly mechanisms where the bottom plate and box cover can be quickly attached or detached from the box body through snap-fitting connections. This dynamic design allows the box to transition between assembled and disassembled states rapidly, facilitating easy setup and teardown without requiring complex tools or procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The snap-fitting connections are pre-designed with corresponding grooves and protrusions positioned to align automatically during assembly. This preliminary positioning eliminates the need for complex alignment procedures, allowing users to quickly snap the components together without time-consuming adjustment or precise manual positioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If a traditional storage box is used, then the structure is stable, but the transportation convenience is poor due to inability to detach

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation convenienceVSAvoiddetachable structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage box is segmented into a box body, bottom plate with unit plates, and box cover that can be detached through snap-fitting connections. This segmentation allows the box to be disassembled into smaller components for easier storage and transportation, while the modular design ensures that the components can be quickly reassembled when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable snap-fitting connections enable the storage box to dynamically transition between a stable assembled state for use and a compact disassembled state for transportation. The snap-fitting mechanism provides secure connection during assembly while allowing quick detachment, facilitating flexible adaptation between storage and transport modes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
