Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current storage solutions for important documents and valuables lack fireproof functions, leading to damage during frequent fire accidents, as existing products do not provide adequate protection against high temperatures and open flames.
Innovation Solution
A folding storage box with a multilayer composite structure comprising outer and inner fireproof cloths, heat-insulating cotton, and auxiliary forming plates, integrated using high-temperature-resistant materials and sewing, along with a code lock and buffer springs for enhanced protection and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional storage boxes are used, then the storage box is simple and inexpensive, but it lacks fireproof function and documents/valuables are destroyed in fire accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box employs a composite structure consisting of outer fireproof cloth, heat-insulating cotton layer, and inner fireproof cloth. This multi-layer composite material design provides fireproof and heat-insulating functions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The fireproof cloth layers resist direct flame contact, and the heat-insulating cotton prevents heat transmission to stored items.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage box body is designed as a foldable structure with multiple panels connected by hinges, allowing the box to be folded into a compact state for storage or transport and expanded to a rigid box shape for use. This segmentation enables the box to transition between states without requiring complex disassembly or assembly mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rigid fireproof box is used, then fireproof function is provided, but the box cannot be folded for compact storage or transport
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box utilizes hinges at the connections between panels, allowing the structure to dynamically transition between folded and unfolded states. The hinges maintain structural integrity during transformation and provide stable support when the box is in its rigid box configuration, enabling both compact storage and adequate structural strength.
3Reliability
If thick fireproof materials are used, then fire resistance is improved, but the box becomes bulky and heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The fireproof and heat-insulating function is achieved through a multi-layer composite structure with optimized thickness for each layer. The outer and inner fireproof cloth layers provide flame resistance, while the heat-insulating cotton layer in between prevents heat transmission. This composite design achieves adequate fire protection with minimal overall thickness, avoiding bulkiness.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the storage box is made foldable, then compact storage is enabled, but the sealing and protection capability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box includes a code lock mechanism that locks the zipper before opening, ensuring the box is securely sealed during transport or storage. This preliminary locking action prevents accidental opening and maintains sealing integrity, while the foldable structure remains functional for compact storage when needed.
