The device comprises detachable environmental protection storage units interconnected through connecting pieces, enhancing stability and allowing for various combinations, including top, bottom, and side connections, with adjustable gaps for terrain adaptation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional environmental protection storage devices are used separately, then they are simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but they have poor stability and are prone to tipping in harsh weather

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple environmental protection storage devices are merged into a group through connecting pieces that join connecting parts on adjacent devices. This combining approach enhances overall stability and prevents tipping in harsh weather while maintaining individual device simplicity for easy manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional environmental protection storage devices are used separately, then they are easy to manufacture individually, but they sway back and forth when placing heavy garbage

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Storage devices are combined into stable groups through simple connecting pieces that attach to connecting parts on adjacent devices. This merging provides stability for heavy garbage while the modular design with standardized connecting parts maintains ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If traditional environmental protection storage devices are used separately, then they have simple individual structure, but they change position and are not conducive to use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of useVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Devices are merged into fixed groups through connecting pieces that join connecting parts on adjacent devices. This prevents position changes and improves convenience of use while the modular connecting design adds minimal structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Adaptability or versatility

If all garbage is stored together in traditional devices, then the storage device is simple, but it is not conducive to classification, recycling, and reuse of garbage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegarbage classification capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage system is segmented into multiple separate storage devices that can be arranged in groups. Each device can be dedicated to specific garbage types, enabling classification and recycling while the modular design keeps individual device structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple specialized storage devices are merged into functional groups through connecting pieces. This allows garbage classification across different devices while maintaining simple individual device structures that are easy to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
