Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional box sealing machines occupy large spaces due to their bulky frames and support platforms, making them inconvenient for packaging and transportation.

Innovation Solution

A foldable box sealing machine design featuring a main frame unit with a rotatable base panel that can switch between horizontal and vertical positions, allowing the machine to be compactly folded for easier transportation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the box sealing machine uses a conventional bulky frame structure, then it provides stable support for sealing operations, but it occupies large spaces making packaging and transportation difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability for sealing operationsVSAvoidspace occupied by frame and platform
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The base panel is designed to be rotatable between a horizontal position (for sealing operations) and a vertical position (for compact storage). This dynamic transformation allows the machine to switch between operational stability and compact volume, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and volume of moving object

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The base panel rotates from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane, changing its spatial orientation. This dimensional transformation reduces the machine's footprint in the horizontal direction while maintaining structural integrity, allowing compact packaging without sacrificing operational stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A foldable box sealing machine includes an upright main frame unit, an upper taping unit mounted on the main frame unit, a platform unit having a base panel mounted rotatably on the main frame unit below the upper taping unit, a lower taping unit disposed below the upper taping unit. The base panel is rotatable between a first position where the base panel is substantially horizontal, and a second position where the base panel is substantially vertical.
