Lifting Cabinet Wire Trunking Design to Reduce Messy Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current lifting cabinets suffer from messy and unsightly wire distributions, which negatively impact user experience and aesthetic appeal due to the lack of rational wire management.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a cabinet body with side plates featuring wire through-holes and an electrical trunking system that organizes wires within the side plate, allowing for tidy placement and connection of electric components, including an electric control mechanism and signal sensing switch, while hiding wires from view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If wires are connected to electric parts in different spaces without a trunking system, then the connection between electric parts is achieved, but the wire distribution becomes messy and unsightly
Solution Approach 1:
An electrical trunking system is introduced as an intermediary component to manage and organize wire distribution. The trunking includes a first trunking portion extending from the first wire through-hole to the second wire through-hole, and a second trunking portion extending from the second wire through-hole to the electric part, providing a structured pathway for wires between different spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire distribution problem is solved by adding a spatial dimension through the trunking structure. The trunking system creates a three-dimensional organized pathway for wires, transitioning from random wire placement to a structured multi-dimensional routing system that passes through wire through-holes in the side plate.
2Ease of operation
If wires are placed freely in the cabinet body, then installation is simple, but the aesthetic appeal and user satisfaction are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The cabinet body is segmented into functional zones with wire through-holes provided in the side plate at different positions. The trunking system is also segmented into a first trunking portion and a second trunking portion, allowing wires to be organized in discrete sections rather than a single complex routing path.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical trunking system serves as a mediator between the wire through-holes and electric parts, providing an organized pathway that maintains installation simplicity while improving aesthetic appearance. The trunking conceals wires within its structure, presenting a clean appearance.

AI summary
A lifting cabinet, comprises a cabinet body, wherein the cabinet body comprises a side plate in which at least two wire through-holes are configured, a trunking which is configured in the side plate for communicating with the two wire through-holes, and wires which are placed in the trunking and are respectively connected to electric parts in different spaces within the cabinet body through the two wire through-holes. The cabinet solves the problem of messy and unsightly appearance caused by unreasonable wire arrangement.
