Solution Overview

Problem

Current electric pianos have fixed support frames, which cannot be adjusted to accommodate users of different heights, leading to uncomfortable playing positions and limiting their use as both a musical instrument and a desk.

Innovation Solution

A height-adjustable desk-type electric piano is designed with a bracket body and a desk-type keyboard assembly, featuring a screw adjustment device that allows the bracket body to be lifted or lowered, enabling the piano frame to be adjusted to various heights and integrated with a desk function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the support frame height is fixed for simple structure, then the structure is simple and stable, but it cannot accommodate users of different heights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adaptabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed support frame into an adjustable one. The support frame includes telescopic components with adjustable lengths, allowing the height to be dynamically changed according to different users' needs. This resolves the contradiction by making the structure adaptable while maintaining reasonable complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support frame is segmented into multiple telescopic components that can be independently adjusted. Each support leg consists of nested segments that can be extended or retracted, enabling height adjustment without requiring complete structural redesign. This segmentation allows adaptability while keeping each individual component relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the electric piano is designed as a fixed-height instrument, then the manufacturing is simple, but it cannot be used as both a piano and a desk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-functionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent directly applies the universality principle by designing the electric piano with an adjustable support frame that enables dual functionality. The same structure serves as both a musical instrument stand and a desk by allowing height adjustment to accommodate different use scenarios, eliminating the need for separate furniture pieces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The dynamic adjustability of the support frame enables the electric piano to transition between different functional states. By adjusting the height, the instrument can be configured for playing or for desk work, providing multi-functionality while maintaining a single integrated structure that is relatively simple to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the support frame is made telescopic for height adjustment, then the height can be adjusted, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustmentVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The telescopic support frame employs the nesting principle where inner tubes are placed within outer tubes to achieve height adjustment. This nested structure allows compact storage when retracted and easy extension when needed, providing height adjustability while minimizing the space required and reducing overall structural complexity compared to alternative expansion mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
