Problem
Existing 3D structures that float in the air face challenges in maintaining balance and adjusting position, making it difficult to implement motion and enhancing their aesthetic and functional availability.
Innovation Solution
A method for manufacturing a 3D structure involves creating single piece molds for each surface area, forming exterior members using these molds, and installing a balance adjustment module with a weight to facilitate movement and balance adjustment, allowing the structure to float efficiently and exhibit various motions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If a 3D structure is made with light material to float in the air, then it can be installed in large spaces, but it is difficult to keep balance or adjust position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a balance adjustment module with movable weights that allow the floating 3D structure to dynamically change its center of gravity. This enables the structure to adapt its balance position while floating, solving the problem of difficulty in balance adjustment without increasing the overall weight significantly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of center of gravity position by allowing weights to move within the balance adjustment module. This parameter change enables the structure to adjust its balance and position in the air, transforming a static floating structure into a dynamically adjustable one.
2Area of stationary object
If a 3D structure is made to float in the air, then space constraint is solved, but it is difficult to implement motion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a balance adjustment module with movable weights that enable the floating 3D structure to change its position and orientation dynamically. This transforms the structure from a static floating display to a dynamic one that can exhibit various motions and adapt to different spatial requirements.
3Strength
If exterior members are connected to form a 3D structure, then structural integrity is achieved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the 3D structure into multiple exterior members that can be manufactured separately using single piece molds, then connected to form the complete structure. This segmentation allows for simpler manufacturing of individual components while maintaining overall structural integrity, reducing the complexity of manufacturing the entire structure as one piece.
