Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the greeting card is produced in its final three-dimensional display effect, then the artistic sense and visual impact are improved, but the volume becomes large making transportation and storage inconvenient and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The greeting card employs a dynamic transformation mechanism where the central petal can move vertically to switch between flat and three-dimensional states. This allows the card to adapt its volume based on usage requirements, presenting as a compact flat card for storage and transportation, and expanding to a voluminous three-dimensional bouquet for display purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes dimensional transformation by adding vertical movement capability to the central petal. The card transitions from a two-dimensional flat state to a three-dimensional expanded state through vertical displacement of the central petal along the folding indentation line, effectively changing the spatial configuration without increasing the base footprint.
2Shape
If the greeting card is produced in its final three-dimensional display effect, then the artistic sense and visual impact are improved, but the production and delivery cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic transformation mechanism allows a single flat card structure to produce multiple states (flat and three-dimensional), effectively replacing what would require multiple different products. This reduces manufacturing complexity and inventory requirements, thereby lowering production and delivery costs while maintaining the artistic three-dimensional display effect when needed.
3Shape
If the greeting card uses a complex structure to achieve three-dimensional effect, then the visual impact is improved, but the structure becomes complicated making it difficult to produce and transport
Solution Approach 1:
The greeting card is segmented into distinct functional components: the bouquet base formed by bonding head and tail of a sheet, the bottom cover connected to the base, and the movable central petal with folding indentation lines. This segmentation allows each component to be simple in itself while combining to create the complex three-dimensional bouquet effect, facilitating easier production and assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes a single sheet of paper that is cut, folded, and bonded to form the bouquet base, bottom cover, and central petals. This flexible thin film approach allows the structure to transform between flat and three-dimensional states through vertical movement of the central petal, avoiding the need for rigid complex structures while achieving the desired bouquet effect.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a three-dimensional bouquet greeting card, including the flower bundle base and internal petal inserts. The flower bundle base is composed of a bouquet base, a bottom cover and a layer of central petals. It is characterized in that: The bouquet base is formed by bonding the head and tail of a sheet of material together. There are symmetrically indentation lines at both left and right ends. The bottom cover is connected to the bottom of the bouquet base. The bottom cover has a folding indentation line. This folding indentation line is connected to an internal flower piece and is in the same plane as the indentation line provided on the bouquet base. The three-dimensional bouquet greeting card, through the ingenious linkage structure arranged inside the three-dimensional bouquet greeting card, can very conveniently change the three-dimensional bouquet greeting card from a flat state to a three-dimensional state. It is convenient and reliable, easy to install, and the operation can be easily completed by the public. Moreover, the production and manufacturing cost is also low.
