Shelf
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shelves face challenges in disassembly and transport, as they are large and heavy, making them cumbersome to transport through narrow spaces and require easy disassembly for transport.
Innovation Solution
A shelf design with detachable support arm and foot parts connected by a locking device, allowing easy assembly and disassembly without damage, facilitating transport and installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the support arm part and support foot part are connected by integral molding or fixed connection, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of disassembly and transport deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shelf is divided into separate support arm parts and support foot parts that can be detached from each other. This segmentation allows the shelf to be disassembled into smaller components for easy transport while maintaining structural stability when assembled through the locking device.
2Ease of manufacture
If the shelf is made as a single integrated structure, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the adaptability to different transport scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shelf structure is segmented into modular components (support arm parts and support foot parts) that can be easily manufactured separately and then assembled. This modularity provides adaptability to different transport scenarios while keeping each component simple to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The shelf transitions from a static integrated structure to a dynamic modular structure that can change its configuration. The locking device enables the shelf to be assembled when needed and disassembled for transport, providing adaptability to different usage and transport scenarios.

AI summary
A shelf includes a support arm part, a support foot part, a locking device. The support foot part is used for supporting the support arm part. The locking device is used for detachably locking the support arm part to the support foot part, so that the support arm part and the support foot part can be locked to each other through a locking part. During the process of disassembling and assembling the support foot part and the support arm part, only the locking of the support foot part and the support arm part by the locking device needs to be released, and the support foot part and the support arm part will not be damaged, so that the shelf can be repeatedly disassembled and assembled.
