Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional geometric building blocks (square, triangular, circular) are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the combination shapes are limited and lack creativity
Solution Approach 1:
The building block is divided into multiple independent hexagonal frame bases (left, middle, right) that can be connected in different configurations. Each frame base is a separate component with frame slots that can accommodate hexagonal blocks, allowing for segmented assembly and diverse honeycomb structure formations.
Solution Approach 2:
Hexagonal blocks are nested within the frame slots of the hexagonal frame bases. The frame bases form a honeycomb structure with interconnected slots, and hexagonal blocks are inserted into these slots, creating a nested arrangement where blocks are contained within the frame structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional stacking methods are used, then the arrangement function is simple, but the variability and creativity are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The hexagonal frame bases serve multiple functions: they form the structural framework of honeycombs, provide frame slots for inserting hexagonal blocks, and create interconnected patterns when combined. The same components can be arranged in various configurations to form different honeycomb shapes and patterns, enabling one set of components to achieve multiple arrangement possibilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If simple geometric structures are used, then the product is easy to play with, but it cannot inspire intelligence and is quickly eliminated from the market
Solution Approach 1:
The building block features an asymmetric configuration with left, middle, and right hexagonal frame bases positioned at different heights and orientations. The middle frame base is elevated above the left and right bases, creating an asymmetric three-dimensional structure that enables varied stacking patterns and enhances creative assembly possibilities while maintaining ease of play.

AI summary
The combination building block and building block unit thereof of the present invention includes a plurality of building block units and a plurality of hexagonal blocks; each building block unit includes three hexagonal frame bases, in which the left and right hexagonal frame bases are connected to both sides of the middle hexagonal frame base, each of which there is a frame groove in the hexagonal frame base respectively; an inner hexagonal frame base is recessed inward at the bottom of the middle hexagonal frame base, and a frame ring groove is formed between the inner hexagonal frame base and the middle hexagonal frame base; the cross-section of each hexagonal block is the same as the cross-section of the frame grooves of each hexagonal frame bases of the building block unit, whereby the hexagonal block can be collected into any frame grooves of each building block unit with the help of a collecting rod, just like a bee collecting honey into a hive insider.
