Modular Mobile Stage Framework Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile stage frameworks face challenges in easy transportation due to oversized and overweight configurations, which complicate relocation and increase transportation costs, especially for large stages used in events like concert tours.
Innovation Solution
The design involves multiple independently transportable and self-contained units, including an articulated floor structure and a roof structure, which can be folded for transportation and easily assembled on-site, allowing for secure attachment to column structures and efficient movement using truck tractors or other vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mobile stage is designed as a large integrated framework, then it can provide sufficient performance for events, but it becomes oversized and overweight for transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile stage framework is divided into multiple self-contained transportable units, each comprising column structures and portions of the floor and roof structures. These modular units can be independently transported on separate trailers, avoiding the need for a single oversized transport vehicle while maintaining the ability to assemble a complete large-scale stage at the event location.
2Reliability
If a mobile stage is designed as a large integrated framework, then it can provide sufficient performance for events, but transportation costs and logistical complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The stage framework is segmented into multiple standardized transportable units that can be moved independently. Each unit is self-contained with its supporting column structures, allowing for simplified logistics where multiple smaller trailers can be coordinated rather than requiring specialized oversized transport equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The transportable units are designed with universal interfaces and standardized configurations that allow them to be assembled in various arrangements to create different stage sizes and shapes. This multi-functionality enables the same basic unit design to serve multiple event requirements, reducing the need for custom-built transport solutions.
3Length of moving object
If a mobile stage uses a folded configuration for transportation, then it reduces transportation dimensions, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The floor and roof structures incorporate articulated sections with hinges and pivot points that allow the structures to flex and adapt during assembly. These dynamic elements enable the rigid panels to be connected in various configurations without requiring complex folding mechanisms, simplifying the assembly process while maintaining compact transport dimensions.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile stage is designed to be frequently relocated, then it provides versatility for different events, but transportation time and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The stage is divided into pre-assembled modular units that can be quickly transported and reconfigured at new locations. Each unit maintains its structural integrity during transport, allowing for rapid deployment without requiring complete disassembly and reassembly of the entire stage framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The floor and roof structures are pre-configured with articulated sections and connection mechanisms that are prepared in advance for quick assembly. The column structures are pre-positioned on transportable units with alignment features that facilitate rapid coupling, reducing on-site assembly time while maintaining versatility for frequent relocation.

AI summary
The mobile stage framework includes a plurality of spaced-apart column structures and a first and a second self-contained unit. Both units are separated from one another when the mobile stage framework is fully disassembled for transportation. The first unit includes an articulated floor structure and the second unit includes an articulated roof structure. Both structures are in an unfolded working position when the mobile stage framework is fully assembled and are in their folded transport position when the mobile stage framework is fully disassembled for transportation. A method of handling a mobile stage framework is also disclosed.
