Refrigerator Bottle Support with Replaceable Stop Bodies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing refrigerated goods carriers with pivotable brackets for storing bottles are prone to accidental displacement and potential damage when handled carelessly, leading to unsafe storage conditions.
Innovation Solution
A refrigerated goods carrier design featuring stop bodies attached to strips, with adjustable attachment points and impact bodies to distribute forces, ensuring secure and safe storage by allowing easy replacement of damaged stops and preventing accidental bracket displacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a stop is integrated into the bracket structure to prevent accidental displacement, then storage safety is improved, but the device complexity increases and repair difficulty increases when damage occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The stop is separated from the bracket structure and implemented as an independent stop body that can be mounted on the strips. This segmentation allows the stop to be replaced independently without replacing the entire bracket assembly, reducing device complexity and facilitating easier repair while maintaining storage safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The strip serves as an intermediary element between the bracket and the stop body. By mounting the stop body on the strip rather than integrating it directly into the bracket, the system achieves modular architecture where components can be independently replaced, simplifying the overall structure and maintenance.
2Reliability
If the stop is integrated into the bracket structure, then storage safety is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates when damage occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The stop is segmented as a separate stop body mounted on the strip, allowing independent replacement of the stop component without affecting the bracket or other structural elements. This significantly improves ease of repair compared to integrated designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular stop body design allows damaged stops to be easily discarded and replaced with new ones, while the reusable strip and bracket components are retained. This approach simplifies repair procedures and reduces maintenance costs.
3Reliability
If custom stops are manufactured for each bracket position, then storage safety is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stop body is designed as a universal component that can be mounted at multiple positions along the strips. This single standardized design serves multiple bracket positions, eliminating the need for custom-manufactured stops for each position and reducing manufacturing precision requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows dynamic adjustment of the stop body position along the strips to accommodate different bracket positions and spacing requirements. This flexibility eliminates the need for precision-manufactured custom stops while maintaining storage safety.

AI summary
A support for refrigerated products in a refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, comprises a plate, strips extending in the direction of the depth of the plate, and two bows that can be independently swiveled between a position in which the bows extend parallel to the plate and a position in which the bows project from the plate. At least the front bow rests against a stop in the projecting position of the bow.
