Modular Pentagonal Ornament Assembly for Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional hollow spherical decorations are difficult to store due to their large occupied space, as they are designed for aesthetic appeal and cost reduction rather than compactness.
Innovation Solution
The ornament is designed as a set of interlocking main bodies with a regular pentagonal frame and sheet, featuring connection elements with bumps and clamping grooves, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling the formation of a spherical object that can be broken down for storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the ornament is designed as a hollow sphere to reduce material usage and manufacturing cost, then the appearance quality and cost are improved, but the storage space occupied increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ornament is divided into multiple detachable main bodies (e.g., 12 pentagonal pyramids) that can be separated from each other. Each main body is a complete decorative unit with frame and sheet structures, allowing the ornament to be disassembled into compact components for storage while maintaining the hollow spherical appearance when assembled.
2Quantity of substance
If the ornament is designed as a hollow sphere to reduce material usage, then the material consumption is reduced, but the storage convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The ornament consists of multiple independent main bodies connected through connection elements, allowing easy separation and storage. Each main body maintains the decorative hollow structure to minimize material usage while the modular design enables compact storage when disassembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable main bodies can be nested or stacked within each other when disassembled, similar to nested dolls, maximizing storage space efficiency while maintaining the hollow spherical appearance when assembled for display.
3Shape
If the ornament is designed as a hollow sphere for aesthetic appeal, then the appearance quality is improved, but the storage difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The ornament is segmented into multiple main bodies with regular pentagonal frames and sheets that form a spherical shape when assembled. The connection elements with bumps and grooves enable easy assembly and disassembly, allowing the spherical appearance to be maintained for display while facilitating convenient storage when separated.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of decorations, in particular to an ornament. The ornament includes a plurality of main bodies. Each main body includes a frame with a regular pentagonal cross section and a regular pentagonal sheet arranged at the bottom of the frame; five sides of the frame are symmetrically provided with connection elements respectively; and the plurality of main bodies are spliced by the adjacent connection elements to form a spherical object. The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an ornament, which solves the problem that the traditional hollow spherical decorations are easy to collapse during placement.
