Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional ribbon-woven furniture production is labor-intensive, costly, and aesthetically flawed due to manual weaving, material wastage, and poor aesthetics, especially at T-shaped and cross parts, with complex processes and limited user customization.
Innovation Solution
A framework assembly for strip woven products featuring detachable locking fasteners with positioning rings that allow single-layer weaving inside the frame, reducing material use and enabling easy pattern changes, while hiding fasteners within the frame for improved aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional manual weaving method is used, then furniture frame can be covered with ribbons, but production process becomes complex and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The framework is divided into modular components with standardized connection nodes. Each node can independently accommodate locking fasteners, allowing the frame to be assembled from discrete segments rather than requiring continuous manual wrapping around the entire frame structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Locking fasteners serve as intermediary components that connect ribbons to the frame at specific nodes. These fasteners replace the need for continuous manual wrapping by providing discrete attachment points, thereby simplifying the weaving process and enabling standardized production.
2Strength
If multiple layers of ribbons are wrapped around the frame, then fixation strength is improved, but material consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixation system is segmented into discrete locking fasteners positioned at specific nodes rather than requiring continuous multi-layer wrapping. Each fastener provides concentrated fixation strength at its location, eliminating the need for redundant ribbon layers across the entire frame surface.
Solution Approach 2:
Fixation strength is concentrated at specific local nodes where locking fasteners are installed, rather than distributing thin layers of ribbon across the entire frame. This local reinforcement approach achieves adequate fixation with minimal overall material consumption.
3Ease of manufacture
If ribbons are wrapped on the outside of the frame, then fixation is achieved, but aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The locking fasteners are extracted from the visible exterior surface and repositioned to the interior side of the frame nodes. This allows the ribbons to be securely fastened while the fastening mechanism itself remains hidden, preserving the clean aesthetic lines of the furniture exterior.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking fasteners are nested within the frame structure at the nodes, with the ribbon passing through or alongside the fastener mechanism. This nesting arrangement conceals the functional components within the structural elements, maintaining exterior aesthetics while ensuring secure fixation.
4Ease of manufacture
If traditional weaving process is used, then furniture structure is formed, but user customization capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system transitions from a fixed, permanent woven structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable assembly. Locking fasteners enable users to easily detach and reattach ribbons at various nodes, allowing customization of patterns and configurations without requiring complete disassembly or specialized craftsmanship.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized locking fastener design provides universal attachment capability at all frame nodes, allowing the same mechanism to accommodate different ribbon types, colors, and weaving patterns. This universality enables users to experiment with multiple designs using the same basic framework and fastener system.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the field of furniture production, in particular to a framework assembly for strip woven products and furniture including the same. The framework assembly comprises a framework body, on which a plurality of locking fasteners are detachably mounted. Each locking fastener includes a positioning ring, which is used for threading and positioning strips. The strips can form woven products by being threaded through different positioning rings of the framework body. By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning ring can serve as a stress-bearing point for the woven parts of furniture and provide fixed points for weaving strips. Compared with the traditional fixing methods of wrapping and using staple guns, the strips of the present invention only need to be threaded through the positioning ring once to complete one fixation, which is more conducive to saving strip materials, reducing weaving steps, and lowering material costs and labor costs.
