Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing modular building assembly systems for office and industrial workstations lack durability, strength, and flexibility, which limits their effectiveness in creating ergonomic and functional workspaces.
Innovation Solution
The Universal Mount Platform System, which includes substructure modules and accessory attachment mechanisms, utilizes rails and multiple rail mount platforms to create a flexible and strong system for building ergonomic workstations. This system allows for three-dimensional utilization of workspace and can accommodate various accessories such as tabletops, lighting fixtures, and storage bins.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If existing modular building assembly systems are used, then construction and erection of structures can be performed, but the systems lack durability, strength and flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the workstation structure into modular components including ring mount platforms, linear mount platforms, columns, and rails that can be independently assembled and configured. Each module is designed with standardized connection interfaces enabling flexible reconfiguration while maintaining structural integrity through proven connection mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount platforms are designed with universal mounting capabilities that support multiple accessory types and configurations. The ring mount platform can accommodate various devices at different positions and orientations, while the linear mount platform provides flexible positioning along its length. Both platform types can support multiple accessories simultaneously, enabling one structure to serve multiple functional purposes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing modular building assembly systems are used, then structures can be constructed, but the systems lack flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic reconfiguration of workstation layouts by allowing easy addition, removal, and repositioning of mount platforms and accessories. The modular design with standardized connections permits the structure to adapt to changing functional requirements while maintaining structural strength through engineered connection points and load-bearing components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes three-dimensional space efficiently by mounting accessories at various heights, positions, and orientations. The ring mount platform provides circumferential mounting options, while the linear mount platform offers longitudinal positioning flexibility. This multi-dimensional arrangement maximizes workspace utilization without compromising structural integrity.

AI summary
A universal mount platform for office and industrial modular workstations including embodiments a ring mount platform module and a linear dual-rail mount platform module. A single rail ring mount platform has a ring rail that is a metal tube, square in cross-section, shaped as a ring, with a plurality of fastener holes penetrating vertically through the rail. A dual rail ring mount platform has a first ring rail and a second ring rail, both metal tubes, square in cross-section, the first ring rail having an inside radius that is larger than an outside radius of the second ring rail. A linear dual-rail mount platform module has two double rail slot columns coupled by two sets of dual rails. Mount slots between dual rails are set and maintained by spacers or end plates.
