Solution Overview

Problem

Existing connecting belts in wearable products lack accurate and convenient length adjustment, particularly for products with multiple symmetrical belts, making it difficult to achieve uniform lengths and positions, which affects wearing comfort and standardization.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a connecting belt with multiple position marks at defined intervals along its length, allowing for precise adjustment using adjusting members such as buckles, ensuring that the belt can be accurately adjusted to the same length on both sides, thereby improving comfort and standardization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple symmetrical connecting belts are used in wearable products, then the product can be adjusted to fit different users, but it becomes difficult to adjust all belts to the same length and position

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of connecting beltsVSAvoiddifficulty of adjusting belts to uniform length
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback by incorporating visual indicators (such as colored marks or numbered positions) on the connecting belts that provide real-time information about the belt's current length and position. This allows users to immediately see when belts are at different lengths or positions, enabling them to adjust multiple belts simultaneously to uniform lengths without repeated attempts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If the connecting belt length is adjusted repeatedly, then the belt can be fitted to the user, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of belt length adjustmentVSAvoidtime required for repeated adjustment attempts
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-marking specific positions on the connecting belts with visual indicators before the user needs to adjust them. These pre-marked positions correspond to standard length settings, allowing users to directly select the correct length without repeated adjustment attempts, thereby achieving accurate belt length adjustment quickly and efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If adjusting members such as buckles are used, then the belt can be adjusted, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of belt adjustmentVSAvoidstructure of adjusting members
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the adjusting member into separate functional components: a movable adjusting element (such as a slider or clip) and fixed positioning elements (such as holes or slots in the belt). This segmentation allows the adjusting member to be simple in structure while still providing precise adjustment capability, as each component performs a specific function rather than requiring a complex integrated mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
