Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Christmas tree stands are cumbersome for transportation, have inefficient assembly processes, and lack aesthetic appeal.
Innovation Solution
An assembled stand for Christmas trees featuring a support portion with interconnected support members and a carrier portion, where the support members are connected end-to-end using engagement and connection portions, and fixed to the carrier cylinder with a fixing member, allowing for easy assembly, secure structure, and reduced packaging volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a monolithic structure is used for the Christmas tree stand, then the structural strength is improved, but the transportation convenience deteriorates due to increased volume and weight
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is divided into multiple support members (at least three) that can be separated for transportation and assembled into a complete circular support structure when needed. This segmentation allows the stand to occupy less space during transport while maintaining full structural functionality when assembled.
2Volume of moving object
If a split assembling manner is used for the stand, then the transportation convenience is improved, but the assembly complexity and structural stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple support members are designed with connection portions that enable them to be combined into a complete circular support structure. The connection portions include engagement features (protrusions and recesses) that simplify the assembly process, allowing the support members to be easily connected without complex tools or procedures while forming a stable unified structure.
3Volume of moving object
If conventional split assembling is used, then the transportation volume is reduced, but the fastness and aesthetics of the finished product deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The support members are pre-designed with integrated connection portions including engagement features and positioning structures. These preliminary design elements ensure that when the support members are assembled, they automatically achieve proper alignment and secure connection, guaranteeing the fastness and structural integrity of the finished stand without requiring additional fastening operations.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an assembled stand for a Christmas tree and a support member thereof. The assembled stand includes a support portion and a carrier portion. The support portion includes at least three support members, wherein the support members are successively arranged along a circumferential direction, and when the support members are engaged with each other and are formed as the support portion, two adjacent support members are positioned relative to each other and are fixed by a first fixing member. According to the present disclosure, the volume during transportation may be reduced, and the assembly process is simplified.
