Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bottle racks are complex in structure, costly to produce, heavy, difficult to assemble, and have short service life, making them impractical for market promotion and management of wine displays.
Innovation Solution
A simply structured rack formed by two interconnected rack plates with sliding connections and guide blocks, eliminating the need for additional fittings, allowing for easy assembly and maintenance, and enabling adjustable storage for wine bottles or cans.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing bottle rack uses multiple components and complex connection fittings, then connection stability is improved, but device complexity increases and production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate components (rack bodies, connection fittings, fasteners) into an integrated rack plate structure. The rack plates are designed with built-in connection features including guide blocks, sliding grooves, and positioning structures that eliminate the need for separate connection fittings, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining connection stability through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The rack is segmented into modular rack plates that can be independently manufactured and then assembled through sliding connections. Each rack plate contains integrated connection features, allowing the system to be divided into manageable modules while maintaining overall structural integrity through the standardized sliding groove and guide block interface.
2Reliability
If existing bottle rack uses numerous components, then connection stability is improved, but weight increases and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple components are merged into integrated rack plate structures where connection features are built directly into the plate design. This eliminates the need for separate fasteners, bolts, and connection fittings, significantly reducing the total weight of the rack system while maintaining stable connections through the integrated sliding groove and guide block mechanism.
3Manufacturing precision
If existing bottle rack uses complex processing technology, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates and production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple manufacturing operations into integrated rack plate structures that can be produced using standard forming and cutting processes. The built-in connection features are incorporated during the primary manufacturing process rather than requiring complex secondary operations, assembly steps, or specialized machining, thereby improving ease of manufacture while achieving the required precision through well-established manufacturing techniques.
4Reliability
If existing bottle rack has numerous components, then connection stability is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates and service life shortens
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of connection features directly into the rack plate structure eliminates separate fasteners and connection components that could fail or become lost. The built-in sliding grooves and guide blocks are permanently formed as part of the rack plate, making the connection system more reliable while simultaneously simplifying repair efforts since there are no separate components to replace or reassemble.
