Problem
Conventional letter and number-shaped decorative panels face difficulties in assembly due to the need for flat alignment and gluing of side plates, leading to slow and uneven assembly quality.
Innovation Solution
A decorative panel design featuring a base plate with slots along its edge and corresponding insertion plates on the side plate, allowing for simple and quick assembly by inserting the plates into slots, ensuring consistent and stable quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional gluing assembly method is used for side plates and base plate, then assembly quality can be maintained, but assembly difficulty increases and assembly speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The side plate is divided into multiple segments with insertion plates at each end, allowing modular assembly into corresponding slots on the base plate. This segmentation enables quick connection without complex gluing operations, directly improving assembly speed while maintaining ease of operation through standardized insertion mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The conventional gluing mechanical system is replaced with a mechanical insertion system using slots and insertion plates. This substitution eliminates the need for adhesive application and drying time, significantly increasing assembly speed while reducing operational complexity through simple insert-and-lock movements.
2Productivity
If conventional gluing assembly method is used for side plates and base plate, then assembly can be completed, but assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion plates are pre-formed as integral parts of the side plate segments during manufacturing, and the slots are pre-cut on the base plate. This preliminary preparation eliminates on-site fabrication steps and reduces assembly time to simple insertion operations, dramatically improving assembly efficiency while minimizing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The time-consuming gluing process is replaced with immediate mechanical insertion. The slot-and-insertion-plate mechanism provides instant connection without waiting for adhesive curing, reducing assembly time from minutes per joint to seconds per joint, thereby improving overall assembly efficiency.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual alignment and gluing is used, then assembly can be completed, but assembly quality varies among personnel
Solution Approach 1:
The side plate is segmented into standardized units with identical insertion plates, ensuring consistent connection geometry. This standardization eliminates variability introduced by different assembly personnel, improving manufacturing precision and quality consistency while keeping the operation simple through repetitive insertion actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The subjective manual alignment and gluing process is replaced with objective mechanical insertion into pre-positioned slots. This substitution eliminates human variability in alignment and adhesive application, ensuring consistent assembly quality across different personnel while reducing operational complexity to simple insertion movements.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention is a letter and number-shaped decorative panel, composed of two parts, a base plate and a side plate, the base plate is arranged in a shape of a letter or a number, a plurality of first slots are arranged at intervals along a periphery of an edge of the shape of the base plate on the base plate, the side plate is perpendicularly provided along the periphery of the edge of the shape of the base plate, and first insertion plates corresponding to the first slots are provided at a side of the side plate close to the base plate. In this case, by means of the assembly between the side plate and the base plate, the assembly can be completed by directly inserting the first insertion plates on the side plate into the corresponding first slots on the base plate correspondingly, which is simple and quick; furthermore, the first slots and the first insertion plates are directly machined when the base plate and the side plate are manufactured, which can ensure consistency after the assembly of the decorative panel and ensure stable quality. The decorative panel has the advantages of a simple structure, a reasonable design, convenience in assembly, etc.
