Detachable Sun Shade Frame for Stable Swing-Mounted Shading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional shading devices are not easily detachable from their supporting frames, limiting their versatility and requiring replacement if damaged, and do not allow for the addition of structures like swings, exposing users to sunlight.
Innovation Solution
A sun shading apparatus with a detachable shading frame that can be attached to a supporting frame, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and supporting additional structures like swings, featuring V-shaped coupling joints and reinforcing frames for secure mounting of shading fabric.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the shading frame is permanently mounted on the supporting frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shading frame is divided into multiple detachable components including frame members, coupling joints, and mounting slots. Each component can be separately assembled and disassembled through the mounting slots in the supporting frame, enabling easy installation and removal while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system transitions from a permanent fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The coupling joints can be inserted into and removed from the mounting slots, allowing the shading frame to be dynamically assembled and disassembled based on user needs while providing stable support when connected.
2Reliability
If the shading frame is specifically designed for a predetermined supporting frame, then the reliability of the connection is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting slots are designed with standardized dimensions and configurations that can accommodate multiple types of supporting frames. The coupling joints are universally compatible with these mounting slots, allowing the same shading frame to be installed on different supporting frame structures while maintaining reliable connections.
3Adaptability or versatility
If additional structures like swings are added to the shading device, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting frame is segmented into modular components with standardized mounting slots that can independently support various accessories. Additional structures like swings can be attached to the supporting frame separately from the shading frame, allowing versatility enhancement without complicating the core shading device assembly.

AI summary
A sun shading apparatus includes a supporting frame, a shading frame and a shading fabric. The supporting frame includes a first and a second leg frame, and a supporting bar extended between the first and the second leg frames, while the second leg frame has a third and a fourth mounting slot. The shading frame includes a first and a second coupling joint each having a V-shaped cross section detachably coupled with two ends of the supporting bar respectively, a first and a second frame member and a reinforcing frame. The first and the second frame member are coupled with the first coupling joint and the second coupling joint respectively, while the reinforcing frame is extended between the first and second frame member and the supporting bar to form a support platform. The shading fabric is detachably mounted on the support platform for shading adverse weather condition.
