Solution Overview

Problem

Existing non-slip mats face challenges with high transportation costs and operational difficulties due to their size limitations and adhesive connections, which restrict their use range and application.

Innovation Solution

A non-slip mat connection structure featuring a connection plate with anchor points and snap-in slots allows for detachable assembly of multiple mat units, using hard and soft materials to facilitate easy connection and disassembly, reducing transportation costs and expanding usability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the non-slip mat is made large in size to expand application scope, then the scope of application is improved, but transportation costs increase and transportation becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescope of applicationVSAvoidtransportation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The non-slip mat is divided into multiple detachable mat units that can be separately transported and then assembled together during use. Each mat unit has connection structures (slots and anchor points) that enable easy assembly and disassembly, allowing flexible configuration for different application scenarios while maintaining ease of transportation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If adhesive connection is used to ensure good connectivity between adjacent non-slip mats, then connectivity is improved, but costs increase and operation difficulties increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconnectivityVSAvoidoperation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive connection system is replaced with a mechanical connection system consisting of slots and anchor points. This mechanical interlocking structure provides reliable connectivity between mat units while enabling easy assembly and disassembly without requiring adhesives, tools, or complex operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If adhesive connection is used to connect non-slip mats, then connectivity is improved, but costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

The present invention discloses a non-slip mat and its connection structure, a connection plate and at least two sets of anchor points. The anchor points are set in the connection plate, and are connected to at least two non-slip mat units of the non-slip mat. The non-slip mat unit is provided with the slot. The anchor point is connected to the slot fastener. Through the snap-in connection between the fixture block and the slot, the present invention can achieve the detachable connection between the connection structure and the non-slip mat unit, as well as the assembling of the non-slip mat, in order to realize the transportation of the single non-slip mat unit, and reduce the transportation difficulties and costs.
