Solution Overview

Problem

Existing text light boxes are assembled and cannot be disassembled, making them inconvenient to transport and prone to damage. They are also made of KT material, which is not waterproof, UV-resistant, or durable enough for long-term outdoor use.

Innovation Solution

A text light box design featuring detachable side plates and a text-shaped bottom plate, made from materials like PVC, ABS, or PP, which are more durable and resistant to moisture and sunlight. The side plates are detachably connected to each other and the bottom plate, using a hook and loop fastener system for easy assembly and disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If text light boxes are assembled and cannot be disassembled, then the structure is stable and complete, but it is inconvenient to transport and easily damaged during transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural completenessVSAvoidtransport convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The text light box is divided into multiple detachable components including side plates, a text-shaped bottom plate, and a back plate. These components can be separated for convenient transportation and reassembled for use, resolving the contradiction between structural completeness and transport convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If text light boxes are made of KT material, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the material is not waterproof, UV-resistant, and will deform, degumming, and fading

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidmaterial durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies using PVC plastic, ABS plastic, or PP plastic instead of KT material. These composite plastic materials provide waterproof, UV-resistant properties while maintaining ease of manufacture and assembly, resolving the contradiction between low manufacturing cost and material durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If text light boxes are made of KT material, then the manufacturing cost is low, but it is not hard enough and is easy to break

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidmaterial hardness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies using PVC plastic, ABS plastic, or PP plastic instead of KT material. These composite plastic materials provide waterproof, UV-resistant properties while maintaining ease of manufacture and assembly, resolving the contradiction between low manufacturing cost and material durability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A text light box includes a plurality of light-emitting units and a text-shaped bottom plate. The plurality of light-emitting units are arranged on the text-shaped bottom plate or the side plates. the side plates are detachably connected to the side of the text-shaped bottom plate, and the plurality of side plates are able to be connected end to end. When the plurality of side plates are installed on the text-shaped bottom plate, the plurality of side plates are connected to form a whole, and the light source of the light-emitting unit is able to be projected onto the side plates.
