Solution Overview

Problem

Existing game card displays are unsuitable for three-dimensional structures and lack versatility in visual and interactive presentation.

Innovation Solution

A three-dimensional card display box with a frame body and card receiving space that accommodates three-dimensional cards, allowing detachable installation and observation through an observation window, with adjustable positioning and interchangeable cover plates for varied visual effects, and optional sound and display units.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional envelopes and photo frames are used to display cards, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but they are only suitable for two-dimensional cards and cannot accommodate three-dimensional structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with three-dimensional card structuresVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display box transitions from traditional two-dimensional flat frames to a three-dimensional structure with depth. The box body includes a card receiving space with thickness (greater than or equal to card thickness) and features such as limit portions extending from front to back surfaces, creating vertical and depth dimensions that accommodate three-dimensional cards while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the frame body is designed with thickness to accommodate three-dimensional cards, then three-dimensional card display is enabled, but the installation and positioning precision becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional card accommodationVSAvoidcard positioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The limit portion is designed to automatically abut against the card at the front surface of the card bottom plate, providing self-positioning functionality. The inner edge of the card receiving space is separated from the three-dimensional portion of the card, creating automatic clearance that guides proper card insertion without requiring high manufacturing precision for tight tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The frame body incorporates localized features such as the limit portion extending from front to back surfaces and the installation opening with groove at specific positions. These localized structural modifications provide precise positioning at critical areas while keeping the overall frame body structure simple and easy to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If the card receiving space thickness is increased to match or exceed card thickness, then three-dimensional card display is enabled, but the frame body structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional card supportVSAvoidframe body structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame body is segmented into functional zones: the card receiving space with sufficient thickness for three-dimensional cards, the limit portion for positioning, the installation opening for card insertion, and the observation window for viewing. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function with simple geometry, avoiding the need for a uniformly complex overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
