Customizable decorative tree
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing decorative trees lack modular connectivity and design freedom, making it difficult for users to achieve high degrees of DIY customization and aesthetic variety.
Innovation Solution
A customizable decorative tree with shared and standardized electrified interfaces, featuring a trunk composed of selectively connectable tree sections with varying heights and diameters, a base for support and power input, and a top section, utilizing a variety of connectors and electrical connectors for seamless assembly and disassembly, enabling power transmission and enhanced design options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If decorative trees are made as single integrated units, then structural stability is improved, but design flexibility and customization capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The decorative tree is divided into multiple detachable sections including trunk segments, branch modules, and foliage units that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each section features standardized connection interfaces that maintain structural integrity while enabling reconfiguration into various designs and heights.
2Ease of operation
If decorative trees use fixed standardized connectors, then assembly ease is improved, but height variability and customization options deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Universal connectors are designed with adjustable mechanisms that accommodate multiple section combinations and height configurations. The same connector type can join sections of varying diameters and lengths, enabling both easy assembly and extensive height variability through a single standardized interface system.
3Ease of manufacture
If decorative trees lack electrical integration, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but functional integration and user interactivity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Electrical wiring is integrated within the modular sections during manufacturing, with power conduits and LED channels pre-installed in each trunk segment and branch module. This allows the decorative tree to offer enhanced lighting effects and smart functionality while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized electrical integration in each module.

AI summary
Disclosed is a customizable decorative tree, a customizable decorative tree is provided, which includes a trunk, a base, and a top section. The trunk is formed from a plurality of individual tree sections that are designed for selective sectional assembly and disassembly. Adjacent tree sections are connected using a shared mechanical connector and a corresponding electrical connector. This integrated system facilitates both robust structural connection and the simultaneous transmission of electrical power through the assembled trunk and base. The tree sections may have varying heights and diameters, allowing a user to customize the trunk to achieve a natural appearance or a unique style. By integrating the electrical power transmission within the structure of the trunk, the design eliminates the need for external wiring, thereby enhancing safety and aesthetics.
