Innovation Solution
A five-pointed-star-shaped base structure that allows disassembly and assembly, featuring a pedestal with detachable supporting feet, a hollow sleeve body, and threaded connections between caps and the body, along with clamping pieces that form an annular structure for stability and ease of assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the supporting legs and pedestal are clamped simply with connection blocks, then the structure is easy to assemble, but the connection blocks deform under concentrated force during use, reducing service life and creating safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is divided into multiple components: connection blocks on supporting legs, corresponding connection structures on the pedestal, and locking mechanisms. This segmentation allows the force to be distributed across multiple contact points and mechanical interlocks rather than concentrated on single blocks, while maintaining assembly simplicity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure incorporates dynamic elements including threaded connections that can be tightened to distribute load, and locking mechanisms that engage under operational stress. These dynamic features allow the connection to adapt to applied forces, preventing deformation of individual connection blocks while maintaining strong overall connection
2Strength
If the pedestal is of an integrated structure, then the connection strength is high, but the occupied space for transportation and storage is large
Solution Approach 1:
The pedestal system is segmented into the main pedestal body and detachable supporting legs with connection structures. During transportation and storage, the supporting legs can be detached and removed, significantly reducing the occupied space. When assembled, the connection structures provide strong mechanical interlocking with threaded fasteners and locking mechanisms, achieving high connection strength equivalent to or exceeding integrated structures
3Ease of operation
If the connection blocks are simply clamped, then the assembly is convenient, but the blocks are hardly maintained at the later stage
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system uses segmented modular components including connection blocks, locking mechanisms, and threaded fasteners. Each component can be independently accessed, inspected, and replaced. The supporting legs can be detached from the pedestal without affecting other components, enabling easy maintenance and repair of specific parts while maintaining overall assembly convenience
