Solution Overview

Problem

Display boxes are often too large and unstable, leading to difficulties in transportation and potential damage during exhibitions.

Innovation Solution

A display box design featuring a rotating shaft and support plate that allows the exhibit to be positioned at a preset angle, with a groove system and spring pin components to secure the support plate, enabling easy transportation and comfortable display angles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the support frame is fixed on the display box at a preset angle, then the exhibit can be displayed at a comfortable angle, but the display box becomes too large in size and unstable in structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay angleVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support plate is changed from a fixed structure to a rotatable structure connected via a rotating shaft. The support plate can rotate between a first position (preset angle for display) and a second position (flat/aligned with box body for transport), making the structure dynamic and adaptable to different operational states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support frame is segmented into a rotatable support plate and a fixed box body, connected through a rotating shaft mechanism. This segmentation allows independent movement of the support plate while maintaining the integrity of the box body structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the support frame is fixed on the display box at a preset angle, then the exhibit can be displayed at a comfortable angle, but the display box becomes too large in size

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay angleVSAvoidbox size
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The support plate rotates to change its orientation dynamically. During transport, it rotates to a flat position aligned with the box body, minimizing the overall volume. During display, it rotates to a preset angle, providing comfortable viewing while maintaining a compact form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support plate can be positioned flush with the box body surface when not in use, effectively nesting it within the overall box structure. This reduces the protruding volume during transportation while maintaining full functionality during display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Ease of operation

If the support frame is fixed on the display box, then the exhibit can be displayed, but the structure is unstable and exhibits are damaged during transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionVSAvoidtransportation safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The rotatable connection allows the support plate to adapt its position based on the operational state. During transportation, the support plate can be positioned flat to reduce stress and vulnerability to damage, while during display, it rotates to the optimal viewing angle, thereby improving reliability in both states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The rotatable shaft mechanism provides a degree of freedom that acts as a cushion against impact forces during transportation. The support plate can rotate to absorb shocks and stresses, protecting the exhibit from damage before actual impact occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

The display box includes a box body including an upper cover, a rotating shaft rotatably connected with the upper cover, and a support plate disposed on the upper surface of the upper cover via the rotating shaft to fix an exhibit. The support plate is rotatable with the rotating shaft to make the exhibit be at a preset angle with respect to the upper surface.
