Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for transforming interior layouts in buildings and public spaces are time-consuming and restrictive, as they require dismantling and reassembling equipment, which often doesn't fit the new layout, and installed structures cannot be changed during events.
Innovation Solution
A transformable platform composed of unidirectionally oriented rod-shaped elements with individual drives for vertical movement, allowing the formation of flat or three-dimensional structures, enabling quick reconfiguration and expansion of installation variations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional demolition and rearrangement methods are used for spatial transformation, then the interior layout can be changed, but the process is time-consuming and the dismantled equipment may not fit the new layout
Solution Approach 1:
The partition walls are designed with movable elements that can dynamically change their configuration. The wall panels include sliding sections and rotating components that allow continuous adjustment between different spatial arrangements without demolition, enabling the layout to adapt to various functional requirements while saving time
Solution Approach 2:
The partition wall system is divided into modular segments that can be independently moved, reconfigured, or stored. These standardized modules can be quickly assembled and disassembled to create different layout configurations, reducing transformation time while maintaining adaptability to new spatial requirements
2Stability of the object's composition
If permanently installed constructions are used for events, then the installation is stable, but the structures cannot be changed during the event
Solution Approach 1:
The platform incorporates movable elements with individual drives that enable vertical movement and reconfiguration during operation. These dynamic components allow the platform to transition between different three-dimensional configurations while maintaining stability in each configured state, enabling adaptation during events without compromising structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The platform utilizes vertical dimension by employing elements with individual drives for vertical movement. This allows the structure to create varied three-dimensional arrangements from a two-dimensional base, enabling multiple configuration options while maintaining stability through controlled positioning in the vertical dimension
3Adaptability or versatility
If telescopic bleacher design is used, then platform transformation is possible, but the installation variations are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The platform is composed of multiple independent rod-shaped elements arranged in a matrix, where each element can move vertically independently. This segmentation allows for greater design flexibility compared to telescopic designs, as each module can be positioned to create varied configurations including flat platforms, elevated sections, and three-dimensional structures
Solution Approach 2:
By adding vertical movement capability to each matrix element through individual drives, the system transitions from two-dimensional planar arrangements to three-dimensional configurations. This enables creation of podiums, stages, and multi-level platforms with unrestricted design flexibility

AI summary
The invention relates to the field of satisfaction of vital human needs. A transformable platform, which is intended for creation of installations arranged both horizontally and vertically or slantwise, represents the unidirectionally oriented rod-shaped elements with a flat end face each, located close to each other in the form of cells, which form the flat horizontal platform in the initial position due to the flat end faces located at the same level. Each rod-shaped element is equipped with an individual drive to move linearly and lift the flat end face above the level of the surface of the transformable platform or lower the flat end face below this level.
