Decorative Assembly With Synchronized Lid and Hidden Ornament Motion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current decorative articles are in a single form and are simply placed in containers, failing to meet the diverse demands of customers.
Innovation Solution
A decorative assembly comprising a first container, a lid, a driving mechanism, and a decorative article, where the driving mechanism selectively drives the lid to close or open the container and the decorative article to enter or exit the container, allowing simultaneous automatic closing of the lid and hiding or revealing of the decorative article.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If decorative articles are simply placed in containers, then the structure is simple, but the functionality and user experience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the lid and decorative article into a single integrated assembly that moves together. The driving mechanism simultaneously controls both the lid opening and decorative article emergence, merging multiple functions (lid opening, decorative display, gift presentation) into one coordinated action, thereby enhancing versatility without proportionally increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative assembly serves multiple functions: it acts as a container closure (lid), a decorative display element, and a gift presentation mechanism. The same structural components perform multiple roles, allowing the device to adapt to different usage scenarios (storage, display, gifting) without requiring separate mechanisms for each function
2Ease of operation
If a driving mechanism is added to enable automatic lid opening and decorative article emergence, then user experience is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The driving mechanism is designed to simultaneously drive both the lid and decorative article through a unified transmission system. The first and second connecting rods are connected to the same driving mechanism, allowing one motor to control multiple movements, which reduces the need for separate actuators and control systems
Solution Approach 2:
The lid is pre-connected to the decorative article through the connecting rods and driving mechanism. When activation occurs, the lid automatically opens and the decorative article emerges in a predetermined sequence without requiring manual intervention for each step, enhancing ease of operation
3Stability of the object's composition
If the lid and decorative article move simultaneously, then coordination and user experience are improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system merges the actuation of lid opening and decorative article emergence into a single control signal. The driving mechanism receives one activation input and simultaneously initiates both movements through the connected rod system, ensuring coordination without requiring complex multi-step control logic
Solution Approach 2:
The control function is segmented into independent modular components: the driving mechanism, first connecting rod, second connecting rod, and synchronous mechanism. Each component performs a specific function, and their modular arrangement allows for simplified control of each segment while maintaining overall coordination through their mechanical connections

AI summary
The present application provides a decorative assembly, including a first container, a lid, a driving mechanism and a decorative article. The first container includes an accommodating cavity, the driving mechanism is mounted on the first container, the driving mechanism is connected to the decorative article, one side of the lid facing the accommodating cavity is rotatably connected to one side of the first container facing the lid, the driving mechanism selectively drives the decorative article to enter the accommodating cavity, and the driving mechanism selectively drives the lid to close the accommodating cavity. When the decorative article completely enters the accommodating cavity, the lid completely closes the accommodating cavity, thereby realizing the automatic closing of the lid and the automatic hiding of the decorative article, which satisfies the diverse demands of users, and further improves the practicality of the decorative assembly.
