Retractable greening frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current artificial plants for decorations are prone to falling off during transportation due to their prefabricated nature, leading to a poor aesthetic appearance of the final product.
Innovation Solution
A retractable greening frame is designed with a connecting component, connecting rods, and a decoration. The frame includes an upright column and an insertion rod for assembly, allowing the decoration to be kept separate during transportation and assembled quickly on-site.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If prefabricated decorations are used, then assembly speed is improved, but the decoration is prone to falling off during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The greening frame is divided into separate components: the frame structure and the decoration are kept as independent parts during transportation. The decoration is not pre-assembled to the frame, allowing them to be transported separately and assembled quickly on-site through the insertion rod mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The insertion rod provides a dynamic connection mechanism that allows the decoration to be easily attached and detached. The rod can be inserted through the installation ring and secured at different positions, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly without damaging the decoration or frame.
2Ease of operation
If foldable greening frame devices are used, then on-site wrapping workload is reduced, but prefabricated decorations are prone to falling off during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is designed as a foldable structure with multiple connected rod sections that can be collapsed for easy transport and setup. The decoration is segmented as a separate component that attaches to the assembled frame through the insertion rod mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The insertion rod acts as an intermediary component between the frame and decoration. It provides a secure connection point that prevents the decoration from falling off during transportation while allowing the frame itself to be folded and transported compactly.
3Shape
If decoration is assembled to the frame, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but damage occurs during assembly and transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The decoration and frame are kept as separate segments during transportation, eliminating the risk of damage that would occur if they were permanently attached. The segmentation allows each component to be handled and transported independently without stress on the connection points.
Solution Approach 2:
The dynamic insertion rod connection allows the decoration to be securely attached to the frame only when needed for display. During transportation, the decoration remains detached, preventing damage. The connection can be quickly established or removed as needed.

AI summary
A retractable greening frame includes a connecting component including an upright column and an insertion rod, connecting rods including first directional rods and second directional rods, and a decoration including a decorative component and an installation ring. The upright column is inserted in the insertion rod, one of the first directional rods is hinged to a corresponding second directional rod by the insertion rod, and the upright column passes through the installation ring to hold the installation ring against an end surface of the insertion rod. The decoration is assembled through an insertion process of the upright column and the insertion rod. During transformation, the decoration can be kept separate from the upright column to prevent the assembled greening frame from damage. After arriving at the site, rapid assembly can be achieved by using the insertion.
