Solution Overview

Problem

Existing plate stack structures are prone to deformation under external forces and weight, leading to reduced energy efficiency and potential malfunction, especially when used in moving objects or non-gravity aligned installations.

Innovation Solution

A plate stack structure featuring a base, shaped plates with polygonal arrangements, support plates, and fixing parts with square rods and fasteners, which distribute weight efficiently and maintain precise alignment through symmetrical design and contact points.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If fixing parts are used to secure plate stacks, then the plate stacks can be fixed in predetermined shapes and intervals, but the fixing parts may be deformed by the weight of heavy plate stacks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of plate stack arrangementVSAvoidstrength of fixing parts
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is divided into multiple support bodies distributed at different positions beneath the plate stacks. Each support body independently carries a portion of the total weight, preventing any single fixing part from being overloaded and deformed while maintaining precise plate stack arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If plate stack structure is mounted to moving objects, then it can be used in various applications, but it may be deformed by variable external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different installation environmentsVSAvoidstability of plate stack structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support bodies are positioned at specific locations optimized for load distribution and structural stability. Each support body provides localized reinforcement at critical points, enabling the structure to resist variable external forces while maintaining adaptability to different installation environments including moving objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
