Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing outdoor louver tent designs face challenges in assembly complexity, stability, and aesthetic appearance due to intricate connecting structures and the need for welding, which increases manufacturing costs and complicates maintenance.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates an embedded fitting system with an expansion locking structure, allowing for easy alignment and mounting of perimeter beams and leg pipes without welding, and features a rotary shaft and lock slot base for quick assembly and disassembly of louver plates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a conventional connecting structure with numerous screws is used between the upright post and the perimeter beam, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembly complexity increases and ease of assembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fastening functions into a single integrated connecting structure. The connecting structure integrates screw fastening, positioning, and limiting functions into one unified component that attaches the perimeter beam to the upright post, eliminating the need for multiple separate screws and simplifying the assembly process while maintaining connection strength
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical fastening through screws, positional alignment through integrated positioning features, and movement limitation through built-in limiting mechanisms. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies assembly
2Stability of the object's composition
If welding components are added to the tent structure, then the mounting stability is improved, but the manufacturing process complexity increases due to additional welding and grinding steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces welding-based mechanical connections with a purely mechanical fastening system using screws and connecting structures. This substitution eliminates the need for welding and grinding processes, simplifying manufacturing while maintaining mounting stability through robust mechanical fastening and integrated reinforcing features
3Strength
If support members are added for reinforcement in the beam and post assembly, then the mounting strength is improved, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to exposed support members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the support function with the aesthetic surface of the upright post by integrating reinforcing features directly into the post's structure. The reinforcing grooves and embedded connecting structures are incorporated into the post's design, providing structural support while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance without exposed support members
4Reliability
If numerous bolts are mounted vertically for fastening the perimeter beam, then the connection reliability is improved, but the alignment difficulty increases affecting assembly convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates preliminary positioning features directly into the connecting structure and beam design, such as pre-aligned positioning holes and guiding features. These features are built-in during manufacturing, allowing for automatic alignment during assembly and eliminating the need for complex alignment procedures while maintaining connection reliability through multiple fastening points
