Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed-height connecting structure is used, then the structure is simple to manufacture, but the Christmas tree cannot be adjusted in height and is aesthetically unappealing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustabilityVSAvoidconnecting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structure is divided into multiple segments: a fixed disc, a connecting part with connecting rods, and positioning parts with positioning slots. This segmentation allows the tree stand to be assembled in different configurations to achieve varying heights while maintaining manufacturing simplicity for each individual component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting mechanism incorporates movable connecting rods that can be adjusted between different positions through the positioning slots, transforming the structure from a static fixed-height design to a dynamic adjustable-height system that maintains stability at each position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a fixed-style connecting mechanism is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the Christmas tree is uneasy to mount or dismount

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting and dismounting convenienceVSAvoidconnecting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting mechanism is segmented into a connecting part, positioning part with positioning slots, and connecting rods. This segmentation allows the tree branches to be independently mounted and dismounted by simply inserting or removing the connecting rods from the positioning slots, greatly improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning slots act as an intermediary mechanism between the connecting part and the tree branches, providing a simple interface that allows easy insertion and removal of connecting rods, thereby facilitating convenient mounting and dismounting operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If a simple connecting mechanism is used, then the device complexity is low, but the mounting stability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidconnecting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting mechanism is divided into multiple functional segments: the fixed disc provides a stable base, the connecting part houses the positioning slots, and the positioning part ensures precise positioning. This segmentation allows each component to contribute to overall stability without requiring excessive complexity in any single part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting rods can dynamically adjust their positions within the positioning slots to achieve optimal stability for different tree configurations, while the slots themselves provide constrained movement that ensures mounting stability once positioned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If an adjustable angle assembly is added, then the aesthetic appeal and customization are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustabilityVSAvoidangle adjusting assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The angle adjusting assembly is segmented into the connecting part, positioning slots, and connecting rods. This segmentation allows angle adjustment functionality to be achieved through the relative movement of simple geometric components rather than complex mechanical assemblies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting rods can be positioned at different angles within the positioning slots, providing dynamic angle adjustment capability that enhances aesthetic appeal and customization options while maintaining relatively simple component design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A Christmas tree stand connecting structure and an LED decorative lamp are disclosed. The Christmas tree stand connecting structure includes a fixed disc and an LED decorative lamp, wherein a side wall of the fixed disc is movably connected with a supporting frame. A top of the fixed disc is equipped with a connecting mechanism, wherein an angle adjusting assembly is arranged in the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting part, a positioning part, a connecting end, a connecting line, and a connecting port. The connecting part is assembled through the positioning part on a bottom of the connecting part and the positioning slot in a top. In a mounting process, a blocking part inside a matching slot is jacked to two sides through a semicircular structure on the top for a clamping part to clamp and fix a side wall of the blocking part.
