Achieving cost reduction and comfortable operation simultaneously! Developed in search of innovative solutions.
We have renewed the sliding door wheels used in household dish cabinets. It has a height adjustment feature, but until now, a screwdriver was needed for the adjustment. The client's request was to reduce costs by decreasing the number of parts. Therefore, we thought about integrating the operation dial with the height adjustment screw, allowing it to be turned directly by hand. This not only eliminates the need for gears but also removes the need for a screwdriver, making the operation inside the cabinet safe and comfortable. As a result of prototype testing, there were no concerns about screw loosening as initially feared, and we quickly moved towards product commercialization. 【Conditions and Challenges】 ■ Renewal of sliding door wheels used in household dish cabinets ■ Height adjustment feature is included, but a screwdriver was previously required for adjustment ■ Client's request is to reduce costs by decreasing the number of parts *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
**Concept and Mechanical Design** - The focus is on two gears that are rotated by a driver. - These gears convert rotational motion into vertical motion, but since it is a compact and lightweight sliding door, there is no need for torque that requires driver adjustments; a small force is sufficient for adjustments. - By integrating the operation dial with the height adjustment screw and turning it directly with fingers, not only are the gears unnecessary, but a driver is also not required, making the operation inside the cabinet safe and comfortable. - An idea solution that simultaneously achieves cost reduction and comfortable operation. - As a result of prototype verification, there were no issues such as loosening of screws that were initially concerned about, leading to a swift transition to product commercialization. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*
