Toy Cosmetic Box Support Rod for Adjustable Opening Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy cosmetic boxes lack an angle adjustment function, preventing flexible adjustment according to the user's height or habits, thereby affecting the user experience.
Innovation Solution
A toy cosmetic box design featuring a support rod with adjustable angles between the box body and the base, allowing the box body to be rotated between a support position and a storage position, enabling flexible angle adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the box body is fixed to the base in existing toy cosmetic boxes, then the structure is simple and stable, but the opening angle cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod is designed as a movable component that can rotate between the box body and the base, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one. This allows the opening angle to be adjusted while maintaining structural simplicity through a single rotational degree of freedom.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the box body and base is segmented into two separate rotatable joints: one at the box body end and one at the base end of the support rod. This segmentation enables independent rotation at each end, providing angle adjustment capability while keeping each joint simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a support rod with rotatable connections is added to enable angle adjustment, then the adaptability improves, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables angle adjustment, and acts as a mechanical linkage between the box body and base. By making this single component multi-functional, the need for additional separate adjustment mechanisms is eliminated.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod combines the functions of a support element and an adjustment mechanism into a single component. The rotatable connections at both ends are integrated into the support rod's design, merging what could have been separate adjustment devices into one unified structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design allows for flexible angle adjustments, meeting the viewing needs of children in different usage scenarios and accommodating different user heights, with a stable structure.
Implementation Method 1
One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the box body, and an opposite end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the base

AI summary
A toy cosmetic box includes a base, a box body, and a support rod. The box body is disposed on the base. One end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the box body, and an opposite end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the base. The support rod is capable of driving the box body to move between a support position and a storage position. When the support rod is in the support position, the support rod supports the box body to be kept in an open state. When the support rod is in the storage position, the support rod is stored between the base and the box body.
