Over-the-door organizer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing over-the-door organizers lack flexibility due to fixed storage basket spacing and have large packaging volumes, making them inconvenient for use and transportation.
Innovation Solution
The over-the-door organizer features a modular design with detachable mounting racks and adjustable storage baskets, allowing for customizable spacing and disassembly for reduced packaging volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If storage baskets are welded on the shelf with fixed spacing, then the structure is simple and stable, but the flexibility is poor and items of different heights cannot be accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The shelf is divided into multiple independent mounting racks with detachable connections. Each mounting rack can be independently adjusted and detached, allowing the storage baskets to be repositioned at different heights. This segmentation enables flexible adjustment of basket spacing while maintaining structural simplicity through standardized modular components.
2Ease of operation
If the organizer is made as a fixed non-detachable structure, then the assembly is simple, but the packaging volume is large and transportation is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting racks are designed with detachable connections that allow the organizer to transition between assembled and disassembled states. When disassembled for packaging and transportation, the components can be compacted into a smaller volume. When assembled for use, the full functionality is restored, providing dynamic adaptability to different operational requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the organizer is made detachable with adjustable components, then the flexibility and adaptability are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting racks are designed as universal modules that can be detached and reattached at different positions. The standardized mounting holes and connection structures allow the same components to serve multiple functions: providing structural support, enabling height adjustment, and facilitating easy assembly/disassembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for specialized parts, thereby limiting the increase in complexity.

AI summary
An over-the-door organizer includes a first mounting rack, a plurality of second mounting racks, a plurality of storage baskets, and a plurality of hanging plates. The plurality of hanging plates are connected to the first mounting rack, and the first mounting rack is hung on a door through the plurality of hanging plates. The plurality of second mounting racks are detachably connected one by one to form a whole and then detachably connected to the first mounting rack. Each of the first mounting rack and the second mounting racks is provided with a plurality of pairs of mounting holes at an interval. Each of the storage baskets is provided with a pair of hooks, and the pair of hooks are detachably connected to any pair of mounting holes. The storage baskets are hung by inserting the hooks into the mounting holes at different positions, and the spacing between each two adjacent storage baskets is adjustable.
