Novel jigsaw puzzle tray and jigsaw puzzle rack thereof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional jigsaw puzzles face challenges such as difficulty in finding scattered pieces, loss of individual pieces due to lack of classification trays, and varying difficulty levels that make it hard for users to complete puzzles independently, especially for those not skilled in jigsaw puzzles.
Innovation Solution
A novel jigsaw puzzle tray with drawer assemblies for classification and light prompt assemblies to adjust difficulty, along with a rotationally mounted tray body and seat body, and a jigsaw puzzle rack for pitch adjustment, facilitating different orientations and user needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If scattered individual pieces are used for jigsaw puzzles, then the puzzle can be assembled freely, but it is difficult to find pieces quickly and easy to lose them
Solution Approach 1:
The tray body is segmented into multiple storage compartments, each corresponding to a specific puzzle area. Pieces are divided and stored by their destination location on the puzzle, allowing users to quickly retrieve pieces for specific areas without searching through all scattered pieces.
Solution Approach 2:
The drawer assemblies serve as intermediary storage containers between the user and the final puzzle assembly. Each drawer holds pieces for a specific puzzle region, acting as an organized intermediate stage that facilitates efficient piece retrieval and prevents loss.
2Reliability
If traditional scattered pieces are used, then the puzzle structure is simple, but pieces are easy to lose without classification trays
Solution Approach 1:
The storage compartments are integrated directly into the tray body structure, merging the classification function with the tray itself. The drawer assemblies are embedded within the tray, combining storage and organization functions without requiring separate external containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The tray body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides the puzzle assembly surface, contains integrated storage compartments for piece organization, and includes drainage holes for cleaning. The drawer assemblies both store pieces and indicate their corresponding puzzle areas through light prompts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed puzzle orientation is used, then the tray structure is simple, but it is difficult for users to complete puzzles in different orientations
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the tray body and seat body is made dynamic through the rotation connection portion, allowing the tray to rotate to different orientations. This enables the puzzle to be assembled in various directions (front, back, left, right) while maintaining a relatively simple ball-and-socket style rotation mechanism.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a novel jigsaw puzzle tray and a jigsaw puzzle rack thereof. The jigsaw puzzle tray includes: a seat body and a tray body, wherein a rotation connection portion is arranged between the seat body and the tray body, and the rotation connection portion is used for a circumferential rotation of the tray body to facilitate jigsaw puzzles in different orientations; a plurality of drawer assemblies that are arranged on a side wall of the tray body, drawable, and in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of jigsaw puzzle areas, wherein the plurality of drawer assemblies are used for classification placement of jigsaw blocks; and a plurality of light prompt assemblies that are arranged at a bottom of the tray body, wherein the plurality of light prompt assemblies divide the tray body into the plurality of jigsaw puzzle areas. In the present disclosure, through the arrangement of the drawer assemblies, partition placement of different classes of jigsaw blocks is realized. At the same time, through the arrangement of the light prompt assemblies, different needs of different users on the difficulty of a jigsaw puzzle may be met. In addition, rotation mounting of the tray body and the seat body further facilitates the jigsaw puzzle for the users.
