Detachable Modular Sandbox Assembly for Leak-Resistant Shape Changes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sandboxes are prone to sand leakage and have rigid, non-detachable structures that cannot adapt to various environments, leading to inconvenience during use.
Innovation Solution
A multi-shape combined detachable sandbox with an upper and lower shell formed by splicing connecting plate assemblies, utilizing positioning columns, through holes, nuts, and clamping strips for seamless splicing, and supporting foot pedestals for stability, allowing flexible combination and adaptation to different settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If hard plastics are used to manufacture and splice sandboxes, then the structure is rigid and durable, but sand leakage occurs at connecting portions and the structure becomes uncompact
Solution Approach 1:
The sandbox is divided into multiple detachable modules (first module, second module, third module, fourth module) that can be spliced together through connecting portions. Each module has standardized connection interfaces with positioning columns and through holes that align precisely, creating compact joints without sand leakage while maintaining the ability to assemble and disassemble the structure.
2Stability of the object's composition
If sandboxes are combined with fixed shapes, then the structure is stable, but they cannot be detached or deform adaptively for various places
Solution Approach 1:
The sandbox structure transitions from fixed to dynamic through detachable modules with standardized connecting portions. Users can assemble modules in various configurations (straight line, L-shape, U-shape, etc.) and easily detach/reassemble them. The positioning columns and through holes provide stable connection during play while allowing flexible reconfiguration for different spaces and uses.
3Adaptability or versatility
If sandboxes are made detachable and combinable, then adaptability increases, but the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
All sandbox modules use standardized connecting portions with identical positioning columns, through holes, and clamping structures. The first, second, third, and fourth modules share the same connection interface design, allowing any module to connect to any other module in any configuration. This universal interface simplifies the splicing process despite the high adaptability, as users only need to learn one connection method to assemble unlimited configurations.

AI summary
Disclosed is a multi-shape combined detachable sandbox, including an upper shell and a lower shell. The detachable upper shell is arranged above the lower shell. A cavity is formed inside the lower shell. The lower shell is formed by splicing a plurality of connecting plate assemblies to form various combinations. The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: a connector is connected to a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, a third connecting plate, a fourth connecting plate, a fifth connecting plate and a sixth connecting plate, and a first upper shell connecting plate, a second upper shell connecting plate, a third upper shell connecting plate, and a fourth upper shell connecting plate to form various combinations of the upper shell and the lower shell. The present disclosure features simple structure, diverse changes, flexible combination and proper and simple use, and has better promotion and application.
