Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional built-in wardrobes suffer from issues such as mold growth, pest infestation, space utilization limitations, and difficulty in moving or reconfiguring due to humidity and structural deformation, with existing dehumidifying structures being inadequate and limiting furniture placement.

Innovation Solution

A variable built-in wardrobe with adjustable side and center dressing rooms, a passage portion, and humidity control system, allowing for easy access, adjustable storage capacity, and integration with various furniture types, along with a door that expands or contracts to adapt to room size changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a conventional built-in wardrobe is installed attached to a wall, then space utilization is improved, but it becomes difficult to separate and move the wardrobe and remove accumulated dust

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidmobility and maintenance
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wardrobe is divided into modular components including a body, door assembly, and shelf units that can be separated and reconfigured. The door assembly can be detached from the body, and shelves can be adjusted or removed, enabling easy movement and maintenance while maintaining space-efficient installation when assembled

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a door is installed on the front surface of a built-in wardrobe, then opening and closing function is achieved, but it prevents installation of other furniture on the front surface

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening and closing functionVSAvoidfront surface availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The door assembly is designed to be detachable and can be positioned in multiple configurations. When not needed as a traditional door, it can be removed or repositioned to allow furniture installation on the front surface, effectively utilizing the vertical and horizontal space dimensions flexibly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If a passage portion is formed between side and center dressing rooms, then ease of access to both rooms is improved, but structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wardrobe interior is segmented into distinct dressing rooms (side and center) connected by a passage portion. This segmentation allows independent access to each dressing room while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure using standard woodworking joints and modular shelf units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present invention relates to a variable built-in wardrobe, and more particularly, to a variable built-in wardrobe configured to have a passage portion formed between a side dressing room and a center dressing room and allow a user to freely enter and exit both the side dressing room and the center dressing room through a door of the passage portion, thereby making it very convenient for putting clothes in or storing bedding, and configured to have a TV, a bookshelf, or the like installed on a front surface of the center dressing room, thereby enhancing space utilization and use convenience.
