Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional rotating decorations are limited by the need for a housing, which restricts design, increases size, and makes them inconvenient to handle and less fun.

Innovation Solution

An automatic rotating decoration with a driving device and support integrated within the rotating body, using a transmission member to rotate around a support without additional housing, simplifying the structure and enhancing functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a housing is used to support the rotating decoration, then the structure is stable, but the design is limited and the size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddesign limitation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the housing component from the traditional rotating decoration structure. The driving device and support are integrated directly into the rotating body itself, eliminating the need for a separate housing that would constrain the design and increase the overall size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the support function and driving device directly into the rotating body. The support is formed as an integral part of the rotating body, and the driving device is embedded within the same structure, creating a unified design that maintains stability without requiring a separate housing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Stability of the object's composition

If a housing is used to support the rotating decoration, then the structure is stable, but the size increases making it inconvenient to handle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of handling
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the housing component that would add bulk and reduce portability. By integrating all functional elements directly into the rotating body, the overall size is reduced, making it easier to handle and transport while maintaining structural stability through the integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it is the decorative element, the support structure, and the housing for the driving device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate components, reducing overall size and improving ease of handling.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If a housing is used to support the rotating decoration, then the structure is stable, but the fun and creativity are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddesign creativity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the housing that would act as a constraint on design creativity. By eliminating this limiting component, the rotating body can be designed with greater freedom and creativity, while structural stability is maintained through the integrated support and driving device within the rotating body itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
