Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional showcases for displaying shoes lack effective control over internal temperature and humidity, leading to potential deformation or contamination of the shoes, and also limit the display effect due to restricted viewing angles.
Innovation Solution
A showcase with a body, a transparent window, a base, and a blowing part, where the transparent window is integrally configured with three surfaces and made of PMMA, allowing for air circulation and rotation of the item, while maintaining structural stability and easy access for item insertion and withdrawal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the container uses simple ventilation to outside air, then the structure is simple, but the internal temperature and humidity cannot be controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The ventilation system is segmented into separate intake and exhaust paths with independent control. The air inlet is positioned at the lower part and air outlet at the upper part, allowing separate control of air flow directions. This segmentation enables precise temperature and humidity control while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
A dehumidifier is introduced as an intermediary device between the internal accommodation space and the external environment. This intermediary actively manages humidity levels by removing excess moisture from the air, enabling controlled internal environment while maintaining simple overall structure.
2Device complexity
If the container uses simple ventilation to outside air, then the structure is simple, but the internal humidity cannot be controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful excess humidity is extracted from the internal accommodation space through the dehumidifier and discharged to the external environment. This extraction approach actively removes unwanted moisture while maintaining simple ventilation structure, preventing mold and bacteria growth.
Solution Approach 2:
The dehumidifier serves as an intermediary that selectively removes humidity from the air without requiring complex sealed environments. It mediates between the need for air circulation and humidity control, maintaining optimal internal conditions with minimal structural complexity.
3Device complexity
If only front display is provided, then the structure is simple, but the display effect is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display structure transitions from two-dimensional front-only viewing to three-dimensional multi-angle viewing by adding transparent windows on front, left, and right sides. This dimensional expansion allows observers to view the accommodated article from multiple perspectives simultaneously, enhancing display effectiveness without significantly increasing structural complexity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If transparent window is integrally configured with three surfaces, then the display effect is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple transparent window surfaces (front, left, and right sides) are merged into a single integral structure. This combining approach creates seamless corners and edges that enhance the display effect by eliminating visual interruptions, while the modular integration reduces the number of separate components and assembly steps compared to multiple separate panels.
