Display Packing Box With Segmented Opening And Stabilizing Base
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packing boxes for display do not effectively expose items, leading to increased labor and time in opening, drawing, and displaying, as they do not fully expose items and often cause them to fall, with inner surfaces contacting items, making extraction difficult.
Innovation Solution
A packing box design featuring a top plate with a long slot, base parts on the lower end of the open front surface, and foldable protruding pieces that form triangular shapes to stabilize items and minimize obstruction, allowing full exposure and easy retrieval of items.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a cutting line is formed on the packing box front surface to open it upward, then items can be exposed to the outside, but items are not fully exposed and inner surfaces contact items making extraction difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The front surface is segmented into multiple opening portions at different heights, with the upper opening portion allowing full item exposure and the lower opening portion facilitating easy extraction. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing multiple functional zones without requiring complex overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The opening structure transitions from a single-plane cut to a multi-level three-dimensional configuration. The upper and lower opening portions are positioned at different vertical dimensions, allowing items to be fully exposed from above while maintaining easy access from the front, thus resolving the extraction difficulty without increasing structural complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the packing box is opened to display items, then items can be exposed, but items are not stably supported and easily fall down
Solution Approach 1:
The support function is segmented into multiple base parts positioned at different locations within the opening portions. These base parts provide distributed support to items, preventing them from falling while maintaining full exposure. The segmentation of support points resolves the contradiction between stability and exposure.
3Productivity
If manual opening and item drawing is conducted for large number of items, then items can be displayed, but long hours and high labor cost are required
Solution Approach 1:
The packing box structure itself provides the opening portions and base parts that enable items to be easily accessed and displayed without requiring complex manual opening operations. The self-contained design with integrated opening structures allows for rapid item retrieval and display, reducing labor time and increasing productivity.
