Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If decorative devices are made as complete assembled structures, then they can display complete decorative effects, but they occupy large storage and transportation space
Solution Approach 1:
The decorative device is divided into multiple separable blocks that can be stored individually in a compact state. Each block contains connection structures that enable easy assembly and disassembly, allowing the device to occupy minimal storage space while maintaining complete decorative functionality when assembled.
2Adaptability or versatility
If decorative devices are made as complete assembled structures, then they can display complete decorative effects, but they are difficult to store and transport
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into modular blocks with standardized connection interfaces. This segmentation enables easy storage in compact containers and simple transportation, while the connection structures ensure that assembly and disassembly require minimal effort and time.
Solution Approach 2:
The blocks are designed to nest within each other or store within a common container when disassembled, maximizing space efficiency during storage and transportation while maintaining the ability to form complete decorative structures when assembled.
3Stability of the object's composition
If decorative devices use fixed non-modular structures, then they maintain structural stability, but they lack versatility in forming different shapes and themes
Solution Approach 1:
Each block is designed with universal connection structures that can interface with multiple different block types and configurations. This universality allows the same set of blocks to be assembled into various shapes and themes while maintaining consistent structural stability through standardized connection mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structures enable dynamic reconfiguration of the blocks into different arrangements and shapes. The blocks can be easily connected and disconnected to adapt to different decorative themes and configurations while maintaining stable structures through proper connection design.
4Strength
If decorative devices use complex connection structures, then they achieve strong bonding between components, but they increase assembly difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The connection function is segmented into separate components (connection structures on blocks and corresponding receiving structures). This segmentation allows for simple, tool-free assembly through straightforward connection and disconnection actions while maintaining strong bonding strength through properly designed connection interfaces.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a decorative device. The decorative device includes a shell assembly. The shell assembly includes a plurality of blocks configured to be spliced to each other to form a predetermined modeling. The plurality of blocks includes a first block and a second block spliced with the first block. The first block includes a first main block and a first connection portion connected with the first main block. The second block includes a second main block. A first fixing portion is disposed on the first connection portion, a second fixing portion corresponding to the first fixing portion is disposed on the second main block, the second main block covers the first connection portion and the first fixing portion is configured to be fixed with the second fixing portion so as to connect the first block and the second block together.
