Rail Connector System for Level Enclosure Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing enclosure assembly systems are time-consuming and difficult to assemble due to complications associated with uneven and non-level flooring, requiring significant effort to secure components properly.
Innovation Solution
The enclosure assembly apparatus features a rail connector system with separable parts that can be quickly attached to the floor, including a channel for alignment and interlockable column mounting devices to adjust height, facilitating rapid assembly and secure attachment on uneven surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional enclosure assembly systems are used, then enclosures can be formed to define work spaces, but the assembly process becomes time-consuming and difficult due to uneven flooring
Solution Approach 1:
The rail connector is divided into separable first and second parts that can be assembled independently and then joined together. This segmentation allows each part to be positioned and aligned separately before final assembly, simplifying the overall assembly process and reducing time requirements while maintaining stability on uneven surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The rail connector design incorporates adjustable positioning capabilities that allow the connector to adapt to uneven flooring conditions. The separable parts can be positioned at different heights and orientations before being joined, enabling the system to dynamically adjust to non-level surfaces without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms.
2Reliability
If traditional rail connectors are used on non-level floors, then secure attachment is required, but the assembly process becomes significantly more difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The first and second parts of the rail connector are designed to be pre-positioned and aligned separately before being joined. This preliminary action allows the connector to be properly aligned with the rail and positioned to account for uneven flooring conditions before final assembly, ensuring secure attachment while reducing the time required for adjustment and alignment during the main assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The separable first and second parts of the rail connector act as intermediaries that facilitate the connection between the rail and the enclosure components. These intermediate parts can be independently positioned and adjusted to accommodate uneven surfaces, making the overall attachment process both quicker and more reliable than using a single-piece connector.

AI summary
An enclosure assembly apparatus can include a plurality of elements that can be arranged to facilitate positioning of an enclosure in a work space such as a room or floor of an office building or other building. Embodiments can be configured to facilitate relatively quick and level positioning of such an enclosure. Embodiments of the enclosure assembled via use of at least one embodiment of the enclosure assembly apparatus can be define a room, a meeting space, a privacy booth, a meeting cubicle, or other type of enclosure or work space within the room or floor of a building.
