Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visual machetes are inconvenient for transportation and storage due to their fixed, long design, leading to increased packaging volume and manufacturing costs, as well as difficulties in user handling and carrying.
Innovation Solution
An assembled visual machete design featuring a detachable bridging part with quick release devices and magnetic handles, allowing for easy disassembly and reassembly, with LED light strips on both machete bodies and a control board and battery integrated within the bridging part for efficient packaging and convenient use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the visual machete is designed as a fixed, long structure, then the lighting effect and visual impact are maintained, but the packaging volume increases and transportation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The visual machete is divided into multiple detachable segments (first machete body, bridging part, second machete body) that can be separated for compact packaging and assembled for use. This segmentation allows the long machete to be broken down into smaller components that occupy less packaging volume while maintaining the full length functionality when assembled.
2Volume of moving object
If the visual machete is made detachable for compact packaging, then the packaging volume is reduced, but the assembly reliability and structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems with magnetic connection mechanisms. The magnetic bridges use magnetic attraction forces to securely hold the machete segments together, providing reliable connection without complex mechanical fasteners. This substitution maintains assembly reliability while simplifying the connection mechanism and enabling easy assembly and disassembly.
3Ease of operation
If quick release devices are added for easy assembly and disassembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical quick-release mechanisms with simple magnetic connections. The magnetic bridges provide automatic attraction and secure holding when segments are brought together, eliminating the need for buttons, latches, or other mechanical fastening components. This reduces device complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The assembled design significantly reduces storage length and packaging volume, lowers manufacturing costs, and enhances user convenience for carrying and using the machete, while maintaining a simple and practical structure for assembly and operation.
Implementation Method 1
the first handle is internal provided with at least one first magnet, and the second handle is internally provided with at least one second magnet matched with the first magnet; and the first handle and the second handle are magnetically connected through magnetic attraction forces of the first magnet and the second magnet during fitting

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an assembled visual machete, including a first machete body and a second machete body; the first machete body and the second machete body are integrally assembled through a detachable bridging part; light emitting diode (LED) light strips are arranged on the first machete body and the second machete body; a control board and a battery are arranged in the bridging part; and the battery and the LED light strips are electrically connected to the control board. Therefore, when it is necessary to package and transport the entire assembled visual machete, the first machete body and the second machete body at both ends of the bridging part can be directly removed, and the bridging part, the first machete body and the second machete body in a detached state are placed in a package.
