Stacking Block Recess for Stand Frame Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stand construction frames are difficult to stack during transportation due to stacking blocks frequently falling off or being pushed off when additional frames are stacked, especially for larger frames that are too large for a single person to handle.
Innovation Solution
A stand construction frame with a rectangular framework and recessed portions along its edges, combined with a stacking block featuring a positioning element that inserts into these recesses and a second contact surface extending beyond the frame edge, allowing easy and stable stacking by preventing horizontal displacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If stacking blocks are used to enable stacking of stand construction frames, then stacking capability is improved, but the stacking blocks frequently fall off or are pushed off when additional frames are stacked
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning element of the stacking block is inserted into a recess formed in the stand construction frame, creating a nested structure where the stacking block is partially received within the frame structure. This nesting prevents the stacking block from falling off or being pushed off during stacking operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The recess acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the stacking block and the frame. By providing a recessed portion that receives the positioning element, the frame creates a stable interface that prevents horizontal displacement while enabling vertical stacking.
2Area of stationary object
If the size of the frame increases to accommodate larger stands, then the standing capacity is improved, but it becomes more difficult to stack the frames during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The recessed portion in larger frames provides a secure receiving structure for the positioning element of stacking blocks. This nested configuration ensures that even for large frames that cannot be carried by a single person, the stacking blocks remain stable and do not fall off during stacking operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The recess serves as an intermediary mechanism that facilitates stacking of large frames by providing a stable interface between stacking blocks and the frame structure, reducing the difficulty of handling and stacking large-sized frames during transportation.

AI summary
An assembly of a stand construction frame and at least one stacking block placeable thereon such that a further stand construction frame can be stacked on the at least one stacking block placed on the stand construction frame; wherein the stand construction frame comprises a rectangular framework formed by four box profiles and defining a panel plane, het framework comprising an edge protruding upwardly from the panel plane along an outer circumference of the framework and comprising a portion that is recessed with respect to the panel plane and borders the upwardly protruding edge, the recessed portion extending along said edge; wherein the stacking block had a block-shaped base part, with a first contact surface and a second contact surface opposite thereof, and a positioning element protruding from the base part that is configured to be inserted into the recessed portion such that the first contact surface contacts the panel plane in a mounted condition, and wherein the second contact surface in the mounted condition extends beyond the protruding edge such that the further stand construction frame can be stacked on the second contact surface.
