AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing paper puzzle products are mostly single-page or single-item structures, lacking reusable positioning, error prevention, and locking structures. This makes it easy for them to be misplaced or assembled backwards when multiple pages are expanded and combined, and it is difficult to detect assembly errors in time.

Method used

A standardized interface area is used to repeatedly set the positioning reference structure and connection locking structure at predetermined positions on multiple module units, and to form verification information at the splice seam. Through a multi-level combination mechanism, rapid self-alignment is achieved, the probability of reverse/incorrect assembly is reduced, and it is convenient to correct errors in real time.

Benefits of technology

It achieves rapid self-alignment, reduces cumulative errors, lowers the probability of reverse/incorrect assembly, improves reusability and scalability, and facilitates segmented assembly and transportation.

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-stage combined puzzle paper modular product capable of being assembled and verified. The multi-stage combined puzzle paper modular product comprises a plurality of separable module units. The module unit comprises a content bearing area and a standardized interface area. The content bearing area is used for presenting image-text identification (such as puzzle information and / or entrance prompt information). The standardized interface area is repeatedly arranged on the plurality of module units according to preset positions and at least comprises a positioning reference structure and a connection locking structure, and the positioning reference structure comprises at least two positioning elements which are different in geometrical shape and are not collinear with each other, and optionally comprises an error-proof structure. And after the adjacent module units are assembled, a checking structure is formed at the abutted seam and is used for aligning and checking. And the module units can be combined and expanded in multiple stages.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural design of cultural and creative products and paper products. Background Technology

[0002] Existing paper puzzle products are mostly single-page or single-item structures, lacking reusable positioning, error prevention, locking and verification structures, and are prone to misalignment or reverse assembly when combined. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a modular paper puzzle product with multi-level assembly and verification capabilities. It achieves positioning, error prevention, locking, and seam verification through a standardized interface area, and supports multi-level combination expansion.

[0004] Technical problems to be solved: In view of the problems that existing paper puzzle products are mainly single-page or single-item, lack reusable positioning / error prevention / locking structures, and are prone to misalignment and reverse assembly when multi-page expansion and combination, and it is difficult to detect assembly errors in time, a multi-level combination structure with assembly verification is proposed.

[0005] Key technical points: Standardized interface areas are repeatedly set at predetermined positions on multiple module units relative to the same reference edge and / or reference angle; the interface area includes at least a positioning reference structure and a connection locking structure, and optionally includes an error-proof structure; adjacent module units form verification information and / or verification structures at the joint to provide alignment verification during assembly; expansion is achieved through a multi-level combination mechanism of "module unit → sub-assembly → larger assembly".

[0006] Beneficial effects: 1) Rapid self-alignment is achieved through the positioning reference structure, reducing cumulative errors; 2) The probability of reverse assembly / misassembly is reduced through the error-proof structure; 3) Visualization or pluggable verification of assembly results is achieved through the seam verification information / structure, facilitating immediate error correction; 4) Reusability and maintainability are improved through detachable connection locking; 5) Expandability is improved through multi-level combination and segmented assembly and transportation are facilitated. Attached Figure Description

[0007] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the module unit; Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the details of the interface area and error prevention verification; Figure 3 Schematic diagram of sub-assemblies; Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the independent finished product / content for a single module unit; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-level combination. Detailed Implementation

[0008] Terminology Explanation: The terms "Level 1 Interface / Level 2 Interface" used in this document are examples of hierarchical interface layout. Level 1 interfaces are used for direct assembly between module units (or page module units), while Level 2 interfaces are used for communication between sub-assemblies. One-step assembly; the two can differ in geometry, positional arrangement, or pitch relationship to facilitate segmented assembly and reduce cumulative errors in the expansion process.

[0009] Examples of verification information / continuous coding: When adjacent units are assembled, a continuous boundary outline, continuous pattern segment, or coded segment is formed at the joint; when the assembly direction or relative position is incorrect, the above continuity is broken or misaligned, thus providing visual verification.

[0010] like Figure 1 As shown, module unit 1 includes a content carrying area 11 and a standardized interface area 12; the content carrying area 11 is used to carry puzzle information 17.

[0011] like Figure 2 As shown, the standardized interface area 12 includes a positioning reference structure 13 and a connection locking structure 14, and optionally includes an error prevention structure 15; after adjacent modules are assembled, a verification section 16 is formed at the joint.

[0012] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple module units can be assembled first to form sub-assemblies 21, and then further assembled to form larger assemblies, realizing multi-level combination expansion.

[0013] like Figure 4 As shown, the module unit may contain a puzzle area 31 and a verification window 32.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the connecting locking structure may be provided with a guiding mating surface (e.g., a bevel, a rounded corner, or a guide opening) and a limiting stop to guide the insertion and limit the assembly depth during assembly; in addition, a tolerance compensation structure may be provided near the standardized interface area and / or the seam, such as a deformable opening, a compressible tongue, a corrugated fold line, or a sliding overlap, to absorb deviations caused by paper cutting, folding, or assembly, thereby maintaining the continuity of verification information at the seam.
