Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packaging materials do not effectively apply tension to packaged objects, leading to instability and inefficient use of space during transportation.
Innovation Solution
A packaging material design featuring a first and second surface part with folding portions and a bonding portion, allowing objects to be packaged with applied tension through partial folding, and accommodated in a box.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a packaging material is designed to apply tension through partial folding, then the stability of the packaged object is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging material is divided into multiple surface parts (first surface part with bottom plate, second surface part with top plate) that can be folded independently. This segmentation allows tension to be applied through partial folding of specific portions while maintaining simplicity in the overall structure, resolving the contradiction between stability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging material incorporates foldable portions that can be dynamically folded to apply tension to the packaged object. The folding portions are designed to be foldable at multiple sides, enabling the structure to adapt and apply tension as needed while maintaining relative simplicity through controlled dynamic elements.
2Stability of the object's composition
If folding portions are added to apply tension, then the stability of the packaged object is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging material is segmented into distinct surface parts with clearly defined foldable portions. This segmentation makes the manufacturing process easier by allowing each part to be produced and assembled independently, reducing the overall manufacturing complexity while maintaining the tension-applying functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The foldable portions are strategically located at specific areas where tension is most needed. By concentrating the folding functionality in local portions rather than throughout the entire structure, the manufacturing complexity is reduced while maintaining effectiveness in applying tension to stabilize the packaged object.
3Reliability
If a bonding portion is introduced to connect surface parts, then the reliability of the packaging material is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bonding portion is integrated into the connection between the first and second surface parts, merging the bonding function with the structural connection. This merging approach improves reliability by ensuring secure connection while minimizing additional complexity, as the bonding portion works in conjunction with existing structural elements rather than adding separate complex components.

AI summary
A packaging material includes a first surface part that is adjacent to one side of a boundary line and has a bottom plate on which an object to be packaged is placed, and a second surface part that is adjacent to the other side of the boundary line and has a top plate that holds and wraps the object to be packaged with the bottom plate in a state of being folded along the boundary line, the boundary line being interposed between the first surface part and the second surface part, in which the bottom plate and the top plate are rectangular regions where one corner of the bottom plate and one corner of the top plate are in contact with each other at the boundary line, and portions of the first surface part and the second surface part, which are located outside four sides of a rectangular shape of the bottom plate and the top plate, are folding portions that are foldable at the four sides.
