Modular Spring Bracket Assembly for Easy Disassembly and Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing furniture, such as beds, are difficult to disassemble and reassemble, and their spring cushions are not easily disassembled or cleaned, leading to storage and transportation challenges and health risks due to the integration of non-woven fabrics and sponge parts.
Innovation Solution
A spring module with conical springs and a spring bracket that allows for easy assembly and disassembly, featuring flexible straps and connectors for stacking, and a detachable sponge pad for enhanced cleaning and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If spring cushions are made as integrated non-disassemble units, then structural stability is improved, but ease of disassembly and storage is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The spring cushion is divided into multiple independent spring modules, each containing a spring, end cover, and mounting seat. These modules can be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining structural stability when combined, directly resolving the contradiction between integrated stability and disassembly ease
2Stability of the object's composition
If non-woven fabrics are adhered to bagged springs to form integral mattresses, then structural integrity is improved, but spring independence and comfort are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Each spring is independently housed in a module with its own end cover and mounting seat, eliminating the need for adhered non-woven fabrics. This segmentation allows springs to move independently while maintaining overall structural integrity through the modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The harmful non-woven fabric adhesive layer is completely removed from the design. Instead, springs are contained within individual modular units that provide structural integrity without restricting spring movement, thus extracting the problematic element while preserving necessary functions
3Stability of the object's composition
If sponge parts are integrated into bed mattresses, then structural completeness is improved, but ease of cleaning is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The mattress is segmented into removable spring modules and a separate base structure with mounting racks. This allows the spring modules to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement while leaving the base structure intact, maintaining structural completeness while enabling easy maintenance
4Adaptability or versatility
If furniture is designed for frequent disassembly and assembly, then adaptability to migration needs is improved, but structural stability during use is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The furniture is divided into standardized spring modules that can be easily assembled and disassembled. Each module is self-contained with precise mounting features that ensure stable construction when assembled, allowing frequent reconfiguration without compromising structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The spring modules are designed as universal components that can be configured in different arrangements and used with various mounting rack designs. This multi-functionality enables the same modules to serve different purposes and configurations while maintaining stable construction in each setup
