Solution Overview

Problem

In a market saturated with advertisements and the rise of internet sales, brick-and-mortar shops face challenges in making their products stand out, as traditional packaging lacks innovative methods to combine with modern display techniques, particularly in creating dynamic and attention-grabbing presentations.

Innovation Solution

An energy-saving recyclable display system comprising a display stand, a packaging container, and a suspension loop with a built-in illuminant and circuit board, allowing for real-time luminance control and easy recycling, where the suspension loop is dismountable and can be powered internally or externally, creating a dynamic display effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If traditional packaging is used for display, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the display effect is static and cannot attract consumers in a saturated market

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous effectVSAvoiddisplay system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the packaging container with display functions by integrating an illuminant, circuit board, and suspension loop into the packaging structure. The packaging box serves dual purposes: protecting the product and providing dynamic lighting display, thereby resolving the contradiction between simple structure and attractive display effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging container is designed to perform multiple functions: it protects the product, provides structural support, houses the illuminant and circuit board, and enables dynamic display through the suspension loop mechanism. This multi-functionality allows the packaging to attract consumers while maintaining practical utility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Illumination intensity

If continuous lighting is used to enhance display effect, then product visibility is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct visibilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The suspension loop is designed to rotate periodically, causing the conductive contact to intermittently contact the conductive rod. This periodic contact creates on-off lighting cycles, allowing the illuminant to provide enhanced visibility during active periods while consuming less energy during inactive periods compared to continuous lighting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the operational state of the illuminant from continuous to intermittent by modifying the electrical connection parameter through the rotating suspension loop mechanism. This parameter change allows the lighting to be activated only when needed for display, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining effective product visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the packaging display structure is made complex to create dynamic effects, then consumer attraction is improved, but material waste and environmental impact increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay dynamicsVSAvoidmaterial waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into separate functional components: the packaging container, suspension loop, illuminant, and circuit board. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates recycling, as parts can be separated and reused or disposed of appropriately, reducing material waste while maintaining display dynamics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The suspension loop is designed as a recyclable component that can be disassembled and reused. The conductive contact and suspension mechanism are structured to allow easy separation and recovery of materials, enabling the dynamic display function to be maintained while minimizing material waste through reuse and recycling of components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

4Illumination intensity

If the packaging container is designed with integrated display components, then the display effect is enhanced, but the ease of recycling is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous display effectVSAvoidrecycling difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated display components are segmented into distinct modules that can be easily separated from the packaging container. The suspension loop, illuminant, and circuit board are designed as separate assemblies that can be removed and recycled independently, maintaining the enhanced display effect while facilitating the recycling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging container is designed with universal features that accommodate both display functionality and recycling requirements. The structure includes standardized connection points and separation mechanisms that allow display components to be integrated for enhanced luminous effect while enabling easy disassembly for recycling, thus resolving the contradiction between integration and recyclability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
