Solution Overview
Problem
Current shock-absorbing structures for storage apparatuses are limited in absorbing both vertical and horizontal vibration energies, leading to potential damage and inadequate heat dissipation, which shortens the lifespan of the storage apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A shock-absorbing structure featuring arms with penetrating troughs and buffer members that absorb vibration energy, reinforced with additional parts to enhance strength, and salient parts to reduce friction and improve heat dissipation by creating gaps during installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a buffer member is installed at the bottom of the storage apparatus to absorb vertical impact energy, then vertical shock-absorbing protection is improved, but horizontal impact energy cannot be absorbed and the shock-absorbing effect is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The single buffer member at the bottom is segmented into multiple buffer members distributed at different locations (bottom, sides, top) of the storage apparatus. This segmentation allows the system to absorb shock from multiple directions simultaneously, resolving the limitation of only vertical shock absorption.
Solution Approach 2:
The shock-absorbing structure transitions from a one-dimensional vertical arrangement to a three-dimensional distributed arrangement. Buffer members are positioned at the bottom, sides, and top of the storage apparatus, enabling shock absorption in multiple spatial dimensions and directions.
2Reliability
If a buffer member is installed at the bottom of the storage apparatus, then vertical impact protection is improved, but heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The shock-absorbing function and heat dissipation function are merged into a single integrated structure. The arm structure with penetrating troughs simultaneously provides shock absorption (through buffer members) and heat dissipation (through gaps created by salient parts), resolving the trade-off between protection and thermal management.
Solution Approach 2:
The arm structure with penetrating troughs is designed to perform multiple functions: shock absorption, heat dissipation, and structural support. This multi-functionality eliminates the need to choose between protection and heat dissipation, as both are achieved concurrently.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the storage apparatus is secured tightly in the holding space, then stability is improved, but friction during installation increases and heat dissipation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The arm structure incorporates salient parts at specific locations that create localized gaps between the storage apparatus and holding space. These localized gaps reduce friction during installation and improve heat dissipation, while the overall structure maintains stability through the distributed buffer member arrangement.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Effectively absorbs both vertical and horizontal impact energies, reduces friction for smoother installation, and enhances heat dissipation, thereby increasing the lifespan of the storage apparatus.
Implementation Method 1
a plurality of first buffer members adapted in the first and the second penetrating troughs, respectively... When the storage apparatus is impacted by external forces, the buffer members deform elastically to absorb impact energy
Implementation Method 2
the salient parts can produce a gap between the storage apparatus and the holding space. Hence, the heat-dissipating efficiency of the storage apparatus can be increased
