Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart furniture, such as the multi-functional smart tea table, suffers from inefficient storage space utilization, inconvenience in accessing items, and impracticality during power failures or malfunctions.
Innovation Solution
A smart dining bar with a refrigerator refrigeration unit integrated into a dining table, featuring a lifting assembly that allows the foamed door body and attached racks to be raised or lowered, enabling easy access to stored items without bending, and includes a design that allows disassembly during power outages for maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If items are stored in a fixed refrigeration chamber, then storage capacity is maximized, but access to items requires bending or standing, reducing convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The refrigeration chamber is designed with a movable foamed door body that can be raised and lowered via an electric lifting member. This dynamic structure allows the storage chamber to change its position, enabling users to access items at a comfortable height without bending or standing, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining storage capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The lifting assembly is divided into separate components including a bottom mounting bracket, top mount, and electric lifting member. This segmentation allows the lifting function to be independently controlled and adjusted, providing flexible access to stored items without compromising the overall structural integrity of the refrigeration chamber
2Ease of repair
If the refrigeration unit is permanently assembled, then structural stability is improved, but maintenance and access during power failures become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The refrigeration unit is designed with detachable connections between the foamed door body and the cabinet body, allowing the foamed door body to be separated from the main structure. This segmentation enables easy access to the refrigeration chamber for maintenance or item retrieval during power failures, while maintaining structural stability during normal operation through secure attachment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the foamed door body and cabinet body is designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing it to transition between a securely attached state for stable operation and a detachable state for maintenance access. This dynamic connection system resolves the contradiction between stability and ease of repair
3Quantity of substance
If vertical storage space is maximized, then storage capacity increases, but items become harder to access
Solution Approach 1:
The electric lifting member raises and lowers the foamed door body containing the storage chamber, bringing items at any vertical position within easy reach of the user. This dynamic positioning system allows maximum vertical storage capacity while maintaining ease of access to all items regardless of their position within the chamber
