Modular Generator Packaging Frame With Reconfigurable Support Arms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current generator packaging frames, whether wooden or steel, are either disposable and wasteful or lack versatility beyond transportation, failing to provide multiple functionalities and efficient material reuse.
Innovation Solution
A modular generator packaging frame design comprising a lower frame, upper frame, first and second support arms, and connecting components that allow for adjustable assembly configurations, enabling both packaging and use as a supporting seat, with detachable connections for easy disassembly and reassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a steel packaging frame is used to improve protection strength, then the frame strength is improved, but the frame can only be used as a single-function package and becomes waste after disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging frame is designed with adjustable support arms that can be repositioned between a first position for packaging transportation and a second position for serving as a supporting seat, enabling the same frame structure to perform multiple functions and avoid becoming waste after single-use packaging
2Reliability
If the support arm length is increased to provide adequate support distance, then the support capability is improved, but the overall frame height increases reducing space utilization
Solution Approach 1:
The support arms are designed to be adjustable in length and position, allowing the frame height to be dynamically changed between a first height for packaging mode and a second height for supporting seat mode, thus adapting to different functional requirements while optimizing space utilization

AI summary
A generator packaging frame comprises a lower frame, an upper frame, a plurality of first supporting arms and a plurality of second supporting arms. The plurality of first supporting arms can be respectively and detachably connected with the lower and the upper frames. Each second supporting arm detachably arranged on each first supporting arm. The plurality of second supporting arms can also be respectively and detachably connected with the lower and the upper frames. The distance between the lower frame and the upper frame when the first support arm connects to them is larger than the distance between those frames when the second support arm connects to them. The packaging frame has two structural forms. It can be used for packaging and transportation of the generator and also can be used as a supporting seat of the generator after being reassembled.
