Portable Sideline Bench With Sliding Roof and Ad Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current sideline benches are fixed and lack mobility, exposing coaching staff and players to weather conditions without adequate seating or storage facilities, and do not allow for effective advertising displays.
Innovation Solution
A portable sideline bench with a tubular frame structure, sliding roof cover, and adaptable sides, featuring a laminar base, horizontal seating support, and a curved roof with fixed and mobile coverings for weather protection and advertising displays, including LED screens and FLC displays, along with transparent side panels and a low-voltage motor-driven transmission system for easy transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fixed structures are used for sideline benches, then stability and weather protection are improved, but mobility and adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bench is divided into modular components: a base unit with storage compartments, detachable seating elements, and a separate roof structure. This segmentation allows the bench to be assembled and disassembled for mobility while maintaining stability when configured, directly resolving the contradiction between fixed stability and mobile adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The roof structure incorporates movable panels and adjustable support legs that can be quickly deployed or retracted. This dynamic design enables the bench to transition between a compact transport state and a stable, weather-protected operational state, addressing both mobility and reliability requirements
2Stability of the object's composition
If fixed structures are used for sideline benches, then structural stability is improved, but ease of operation and relocation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bench frame is constructed from modular tubular sections that connect via quick-release joints, allowing the structure to be easily disassembled for relocation while maintaining structural integrity during use. This segmentation enables both stability and ease of relocation
Solution Approach 2:
Traditional heavy welding and bolting are replaced with friction-fit tubular connections and snap-together components. This mechanical substitution reduces assembly complexity and weight, enabling easy relocation while preserving structural stability through proper joint design
3Ease of operation
If traditional benches are used, then basic seating function is provided, but advertising capabilities and communication effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bench integrates multiple functions: seating for coaching staff, storage for equipment, weather protection through the roof, and advertising display surfaces on the roof and side panels. This multi-functionality maintains basic seating while adding communication and advertising capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
Advertising and communication capabilities are added in the vertical dimension through the roof structure, which serves both as weather protection and as a large display surface for LED screens or graphical advertisements. This utilizes the third dimension without compromising the horizontal seating function
4Ease of manufacture
If simple bench structures are used, then manufacturing cost and complexity are reduced, but weather protection and storage capabilities deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The bench includes separate storage compartments integrated into the base structure, divided into sections for different equipment types. This segmentation provides organized storage for first aid items, shoes, and other gear without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The roof structure features adjustable support legs and movable panels that can be quickly deployed to provide weather protection. This dynamic design adds weather protection capability while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple through standardized components
