Modular Goods Display Rack With Sliding Transfer Units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional goods display racks require replacement or extensive modification when product types, sizes, or display plans change, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs due to their fixed design.
Innovation Solution
A goods display rack with detachable and adjustable goods transfer units that can be easily attached and detached from fixing profiles, allowing for the modification of unit types and positions to accommodate different product sizes and arrangements, featuring a recess and protrusion system with magnetic or Velcro attachments for secure engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the goods base is integrally formed, then structural strength and stability are improved, but adaptability to different product types and sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The goods base is divided into multiple independent goods transfer units that can be selectively arranged and combined. Each unit can be independently removed, added, or repositioned along the longitudinal direction, allowing the rack to adapt to different product types, sizes, and display requirements while maintaining structural integrity through the modular design.
2Reliability
If the goods base is fixed, then stability and reliability are improved, but ease of modification and adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The goods transfer units are designed to be movable relative to each other along the longitudinal direction of the rack, enabling dynamic reconfiguration. Units can be slid to different positions or removed entirely based on display needs, while the tilt mechanism maintains stable gravitational force for product movement, combining stability with flexibility.
3Productivity
If the goods base is tilted, then product movement and display efficiency are improved, but control over individual unit positioning deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The tilt mechanism is applied to each individual goods transfer unit rather than the entire goods base. This segmentation allows each unit to be independently tilted at controlled angles, enabling precise control over product movement for each product type while maintaining overall display efficiency through gravitational force.
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
Enables continuous use by allowing replacement of defective units and easy adaptation to changing product displays, reducing waste and costs by allowing flexible configuration based on product characteristics and sizes.
Implementation Method 1
A magnetic device or a double-sided Velcro device may be formed on each of the bottom surface of the recess and the top surface of the flange
Implementation Method 2
A magnetic device or a double-sided Velcro device may be formed on each of the bottom surface of the recess and the top surface of the flange
Implementation Method 3
the front fixing profile is positioned lower than the rear fixing profile, so as to maintain a tilted state in which the front end is lower than the rear end, thereby enabling a product to be moved from the rear end toward the front end by gravitational force
