Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional connection structure is used to connect ring beams and stand columns, then the tent frame can be assembled, but the assembly process becomes complicated and the structure cannot be variably expanded
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is divided into separate modular components: connection components with docking interfaces, fastening components, and reinforcement components. Each component can be independently assembled and disassembled, simplifying the assembly process while enabling variable expansion of the tent frame configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection components are designed with universal docking interfaces that can accommodate different configurations of ring beams and stand columns. The same connection component can be used to join various component types, providing multi-functionality and enabling variable expansion without requiring multiple specialized connection structures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed connection structure is used, then the assembly process is simple, but the tent frame cannot be variably expanded
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure transitions from a fixed configuration to a dynamic, reconfigurable system. The docking interfaces and fastening components allow the tent frame to be assembled in multiple configurations and easily expanded or reconfigured as needed, providing adaptability while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection components are designed to nest within or attach to existing ring beams and stand columns, allowing incremental expansion of the tent frame. New components can be nested into the existing structure without requiring complete redesign, enabling variable expansion while managing overall structural complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple connection components are used to enable variable expansion, then the tent frame becomes versatile, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Standardized fastening components and reinforcement components serve as intermediaries between the connection components and the ring beams/stand columns. These standardized intermediaries simplify the assembly process by providing uniform attachment methods, while still enabling versatile configurations through the combination of different connection component types.

AI summary
An assembly structure for a tent, includes stand columns and ring beams, where the stand column and the ring beam are each provided with an assembly slot, and the stand columns and the ring beams can be assembled by using first connection components to form a tent frame; wherein the tent frame includes at least one tent frame unit, and a single canopy is cooperatively disposed in a single tent frame unit; and further includes at least one expansion unit, where the expansion unit is cooperatively mounted with an assembly slot by using a third connection component. By using different connection components and cooperation relationships with the assembly slots, the stand columns and the ring beams can be combined and mounted quickly, the ring beam components can also be docked and mounted, and different expansion units can be combined and mounted, to assemble tents with different functions.
