Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional guitar manufacturing methods for binding lines are complex, unproductive, and prone to defects, leading to increased failure rates and damage over time due to the separate formation and separation of binding lines.

Innovation Solution

A decorative panel for guitars featuring a base plate with a binding line formed integrally by filling binding grooves with epoxy resin paint, simplifying the manufacturing process and enhancing durability through chemical and weather resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a separate binding line formation process is used, then the binding line can be applied to the guitar, but the manufacturing process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding line formationVSAvoidmanufacturing process
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The binding line is integrated into the decorative panel manufacturing process by forming binding grooves on the base plate and filling them with epoxy resin paint in the same process step where the decorative panel is being manufactured. This merging of processes eliminates the need for separate binding line formation steps, thereby simplifying the overall manufacturing process while maintaining the binding line functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If multiple separate processes are used for binding line formation, then the binding line can be formed, but the manufacturing time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding line formationVSAvoidmanufacturing period
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The binding grooves are formed on the base plate before the epoxy resin paint is applied, and the entire binding line formation process is integrated into the decorative panel manufacturing sequence. By performing the binding line formation as a preliminary and integrated action rather than a subsequent separate process, the manufacturing time is significantly reduced while ensuring proper binding line formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If a separate binding line is applied, then the binding line can be formed on the guitar, but the binding line may separate or damage during long-term use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding line formationVSAvoidbinding line durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The binding line is merged with the decorative panel base plate through the epoxy resin paint filling process. This integration ensures that the binding line becomes an integral part of the decorative panel structure, eliminating the separation issue that occurs with independently applied binding lines. The binding line is no longer a separate component that can detach but rather a unified structure that maintains durability during long-term use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of manufacture

If conventional binding line formation methods are used, then the binding line can be formed, but the productivity of the guitar manufacturing decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebinding line formationVSAvoidguitar manufacturing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The binding line formation process is merged with the decorative panel manufacturing process, allowing both operations to be performed simultaneously in the same production sequence. This integration eliminates the need for separate binding line formation steps that would otherwise reduce productivity, thereby maintaining high manufacturing efficiency while ensuring proper binding line formation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A decorative panel for a guitar and a manufacturing method of the decorative panel. The decorative panel can be applied to a head, a body, a neck or a pick guard of the guitar to enhance an aesthetic sense of the guitar. The manufacturing process is simplified to reduce the manufacturing period thereby increasing productivity and reducing the failure rate of the guitar. The decorative panel for the guitar includes a base plate; and a binding disposed at the edge of the base plate in a band type by a binding line. The binding line is integrally formed such that one or more binding grooves formed on the periphery of the base plate are filled with epoxy resin paint.
