Packaging System With Pivotable Cover For Building Locking Device Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packaging solutions fail to effectively support the assembly process of building locking devices, particularly for heavy and bulky items, and do not provide a space-efficient arrangement for the components.
Innovation Solution
A packaging system comprising an outer packaging with a receiving compartment and an additional compartment, where the inner packaging is attached to a cover using a form-fitting device, allowing for a larger storage compartment that completely encloses the packaged goods, and includes features like pivotable covers and support parts for stability and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a large number of holders for packaging parts are used, then the parts can be organized for different assembly steps, but the packaging volume and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging is divided into a main compartment for bulk items and a secondary compartment accessible via a pivotable cover for assembly-related parts. This segmentation allows different types of components to be organized in separate zones without requiring multiple large holders, reducing overall packaging volume while maintaining assembly process support.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover is designed to be pivotable rather than fixed, allowing it to serve multiple positions: closed to protect the main compartment, open to access the secondary compartment for assembly parts, and intermediate positions for easy retrieval. This dynamic design eliminates the need for separate fixed holders for different assembly steps.
2Reliability
If heavy and bulky goods are packaged, then the packaging provides adequate protection, but the packaging size and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The secondary compartment is integrated within the main packaging structure, nested between the main compartment and the outer packaging shell. This nesting approach allows the packaging to accommodate bulky items while utilizing otherwise wasted space for additional components, reducing the need for external protective packaging.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivotable cover creates a third dimensional access point to the secondary compartment, allowing parts to be retrieved from the side rather than requiring the packaging to be fully opened from the top. This dimensional change optimizes space utilization and maintains protection while accommodating bulky goods.
3Reliability
If the packaging completely encloses the goods, then protection is maximized, but accessibility during assembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging is segmented into two compartments: the main enclosed compartment for bulk goods requiring maximum protection, and a secondary compartment accessible via the pivotable cover for components needed during assembly. This segmentation maintains complete enclosure for protection while providing targeted accessibility for assembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivotable cover acts as an intermediary element between the main enclosed compartment and the external environment. It provides controlled access to the secondary compartment without compromising the enclosure of the main compartment, allowing selective accessibility while maintaining overall protection.
