About Free Conversion Rac Stòrais

Is e rac stòrais a th' ann an Free Conversion a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson àiteachan cumhang taobh a-staigh. Faodaidh an rac seasamh air an làr no a bhith ceangailte ri balla. Leigidh slighean dà-shligheach air an dà thaobh le gach basgaid stòrais gluasad suas is sìos, agus leigidh slighean tarsainneach leis na basgaidean a bhith air an tarraing air adhart no air am putadh air ais. Faodar basgaidean nach eilear a' cleachdadh ach ainneamh a ghluasad chun na còmhdaich a-staigh. Tha am frèam air a dhèanamh de mheatailt, agus tha na basgaidean air an lìnigeadh le anart a ghabhas a thoirt air falbh agus a ghlanadh. Tha comharran dath air aghaidh gach basgaid a chomharraicheas na nithean a tha air an stòradh, leithid dèideagan, plangaidean agus aodach.

Production Technology: This Free Conversion Storage Frame is mainly composed of metal frame, rail, metal basket frame, linen and other material components. The metal of rear end is worn can be fixed along the wall, after ensuring receiving articles, receiving the center of gravity that wears is smooth. The two sides of the receiving frame are equipped with two-way track, can slide up and down while, fixed point is provided with transverse track, can be dragged around the receiving basket. Linen is easy to remove and clean.
Design Challenge: The challenge of designing this Free Conversion Storage Rack is to find out the practical, simple and convenient use mode and applicable structure that users really need according to their pain points in the early stage. Improve the fluency of the user's behavior in a small space, and increase the user's positive emotions and even fun through simple sliding and assembly operations.
Research: In the early stage of product development, the quadrant method is used to analyze similar products of the existing Storage Rack, to study the advantages and limitations of the existing products, and to analyze the pain points of users. The designer thinks, the use of narrow space and flexible degree cannot become inversely proportional. Therefore, put forward the Storage Rack to be more convenient to put and occupy a small space as the design of the form of research points. The design by the project team members to participate in the design experiment, and finally to make effective results of the program.
Inspiration: When storing clothes, users usually put them in order for use next time. However, stack a lot of receivable basket or receivable frame is too high, take goods difficult. Therefore, users not only need to take up less space, but also need to be orderly and fast to find and retrieve items. Taking the pulley as the initial inspiration, it further proposes the storage framework which can be converted from the four directions of upper, lower, front and rear, as the design motive of the project.
Project Duration: The project began in September 2020 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, was completed in Shenyang in January 2021, and will be exhibited in February 2021.
Operation Flow: First of all, in the process of use, the user can confirm the category of items by the color identification in front of the basket. When need not place article, all receive the position that the basket pushes and pulls to rely on a wall, reduce cover an area. Next, when the user needs to take when put article, can receive corresponding basket forward pull, when need a large number of clothings to be put, also can receive basket whole to draw out, wait for stack to install again after being put to finish. The high storage basket can be moved down to the appropriate height to take, the overall process is convenient and quick.
