Outdoor Equipment Expansion Connector With Inclined Wing Bracket
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional outdoor entertainment equipment cannot be easily combined and expanded as desired, requiring additional structures and limiting flexibility in assembly and position change.
Innovation Solution
An expansion connector comprising a base plate with inclined wing portions and a mounting tube, allowing for flexible assembly of additional entertainment equipment without altering the existing structure, using through holes for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional outdoor entertainment equipment is assembled using additional structures like horizontal tubes, then the equipment can be combined to form integrated structures, but the equipment cannot be easily expanded or repositioned and requires structural changes for different entertainment purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the outdoor entertainment equipment into modular components that can be independently assembled and reconfigured. The base structure is separated from the entertainment facilities, allowing facilities to be added, removed, or repositioned without affecting the core structure, thereby enabling easy expansion while maintaining simple base structure
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a universal base structure with standardized connection interfaces that can accommodate multiple types of entertainment facilities. The base structure serves multiple functions: supporting swings, slides, seesaws, and other facilities interchangeably, allowing the same base to be adapted for different entertainment purposes without structural modifications
2Adaptability or versatility
If outdoor entertainment equipment is sold in bundled sets with fixed structures, then manufacturing and sales are simplified, but users cannot customize or expand the equipment as desired
Solution Approach 1:
The equipment is segmented into a standardized base structure and separate entertainment facility modules. The base structure can be manufactured once and reused, while individual facilities are produced as separate modules. This segmentation allows manufacturers to produce standardized components efficiently while enabling customers to customize their equipment by selecting different facility modules
Solution Approach 2:
The base structure is designed in advance with pre-configured connection points and standardized interfaces. This preliminary design of the base structure with universal mounting capabilities allows for easy customization later without requiring complex manufacturing processes for each configuration
