Solution Overview

Problem

Existing belt buckles have poor universality and use flexibility due to fixed matching of the buckle body, mounting member, and buckle pin, leading to limited double-sided use and a short service life.

Innovation Solution

A universal double-sided belt buckle design featuring a buckle body, mounting member, buckle pin, and belt loop with a mounting rod body and through concave cavity that allows for detachable assembly, enabling the buckle body and belt loop to be used on both sides, and allowing for combination of different styles and colors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the buckle body, mounting member and buckle pin are fixedly matched, then the structure is simple and stable, but the universality and use flexibility are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiduniversality and use flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The belt buckle is divided into independent replaceable modules: buckle body, mounting member, and buckle pin. Each module can be detached and replaced separately, allowing users to mix and match different styles and colors while maintaining structural integrity through standardized connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting member features a universal mounting rod body with a through concave cavity that can accommodate different buckle bodies and buckle pins. The rotatable connection mechanism enables the same mounting member to support various configurations, making the system adaptable to multiple styles and uses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the belt loop is fixed, then the belt body is limited and cannot move, but the buckle body cannot be used on two sides

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebelt body positioningVSAvoiddouble-sided use capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The belt loop is designed with rotatable connections at its ends, allowing it to change orientation and position dynamically. This enables the belt loop to adapt to different wearing configurations including double-sided use, while still providing adequate positioning and limiting excessive movement through the rotational constraint.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If one surface of the belt body is worn, then the belt buckle must be discarded, but the other surface remains undamaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebelt buckle functionalityVSAvoidwaste of undamaged components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The belt buckle is segmented into replaceable modules, allowing only the worn buckle body or buckle pin to be replaced while retaining the undamaged mounting member and other components. This extends the service life of the belt buckle system by enabling partial replacement rather than complete discarding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular design enables selective replacement of only the worn or damaged components (buckle body or buckle pin) while recovering and retaining the undamaged mounting member and other intact components for continued use, reducing waste and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

AI summary

The invention relates to a universal double-sided belt buckle, which comprises a buckle body, a mounting member and a buckle pin, the left end of an upper sheet body and the left end of a lower sheet body are both integrally formed with extension sheets extending downwards, a clamping interval is arranged between the free ends of the two extension sheets, the left side of the mounting member, at the position corresponding to the first end of the buckle pin, is concavely provided with an accommodating recess which is communicated with the through concave cavity and used to accommodate the part of the buckle pin positioned at the mounting member and make it be able to rotate. Compared with the prior art, the buckle body is detachably connected with the mounting member, so that the utilization rate of the buckle body is improved.
