Solution Overview

Problem

Existing storage shelves have fixed storage boards and fixed distances between them, making it difficult to adjust the height and accommodate items of varying heights, and they lack flexibility in installation and direction adjustment.

Innovation Solution

A rotatable and adjustable storage device with a column, adjustable storage trays, and a support arm that allows for flexible height and direction adjustments, along with a foldable design to minimize space usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If storage boards are fixed in position after assembly, then structural stability is improved, but flexibility in adjusting storage height and distance between storage boards deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidflexibility in adjusting storage height
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed storage board structure into a movable and adjustable one. The storage boards are mounted on sliding rails that allow them to move vertically along the support columns, enabling dynamic adjustment of storage heights and distances between boards while maintaining structural stability through locking mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If storage boards are fixed in position, then ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability to different storage needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidadaptability to different storage needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the storage system into modular components: support columns, storage boards, sliding rails, and locking mechanisms. Each component can be manufactured independently using standardized parts, maintaining ease of manufacture while allowing flexible assembly and reconfiguration to meet different storage needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If adjustable mechanisms are added to storage boards, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of storage boardsVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces sliding rails as intermediary components between the support columns and storage boards. These rails provide the adjustment functionality while keeping the storage boards themselves simple and lightweight. The locking mechanisms act as intermediaries that enable adjustment without requiring complex fastening systems, thus improving adaptability while controlling device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
