Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wood processing workbenches are large, inflexible, and lack storage for tools, making them inconvenient to use and transport.
Innovation Solution
A folding workbench design with a pivot-connected left and right support frame, adjustable plates, and integrated storage racks, allowing for compact storage and easy transport, along with a quick pulling mechanism for quick adjustments and a locking mechanism for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a regular wood processing workbench is used, then it provides a stable working surface, but it occupies large space and is inconvenient to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The workbench is divided into a folding base and two separable plates (movable plate and fixed plate). The folding base can be collapsed, and the plates can be detached or folded, allowing the workbench to be disassembled into smaller components for easy transport and storage while maintaining a stable working surface when assembled
Solution Approach 2:
The workbench incorporates folding mechanisms that allow the base to transition between extended and collapsed states, and plates that can be adjusted or removed. This dynamic structure enables the workbench to adapt between a stable working configuration and a compact storage configuration
2Ease of operation
If manual support of wood board is required, then no additional equipment is needed, but it is inconvenient to use
Solution Approach 1:
The movable plate is designed to be adjustable and repositionable on the folding base, allowing users to create custom support configurations for different wood processing tasks. This dynamic adjustability provides ergonomic benefits without requiring complex automated mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The workbench design allows users to easily adjust and reconfigure the movable plate and folding base themselves without requiring additional tools or complex procedures, making the system self-sufficient and user-friendly
3Ease of operation
If no storage rack is provided, then the structure remains simple, but it is troublesome to hold tools
Solution Approach 1:
The folding base and support frame are designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support for the working surface, enabling folding and transport, and incorporating integrated storage racks for holding tools. This multi-functionality adds tool storage capability without requiring a completely separate storage system
Solution Approach 2:
The storage racks are integrated directly into the folding base structure, combining the support function and storage function into a single unified structure. This eliminates the need for separate tool storage equipment while maintaining structural simplicity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The folding workbench provides a compact, secure, and convenient solution for wood processing with adjustable plates and integrated storage, enhancing usability and reducing space requirements.
Implementation Method 1
a spring and a pressing block with an inner side face pressing against the spring are arranged in the transverse perforation
Implementation Method 2
the screw rods pass through therein; the screw rod fixing bases are further provided with a transverse perforation below the radial perforation, and the radial perforation and the transverse perforation are communicated with each other at a connection thereof

AI summary
The invention discloses a workbench, comprising: a folding base comprising a left support frame and a right support frame cross connected with each other by a pivot and a handle rod connected with tops of the left support frame and the right support frame; a movable plate fixed on the left support frame and provided with at least one first fixing hole; a fixed plate fixed on the right support frame and provided with at least one second fixing hole; the movable plate and the fixed plate are spread out on the upper surface of the folding base as the left support frame and right support frame are unfolded; and the movable plate and the fixed plate are folded downwards along both sides of the handle rod as the left support frame and the right support frame are furled. The present invention allows the workbench to be folded by folding downwards the movable plate and the fixed plate, such that the workbench occupies less space and the folded workbench is more secure. The additional first fixing hole and second fixing hole on the workbench effectively stabilize workpieces.
