Solution Overview

Problem

Current packaging boxes for VR devices, especially those with C-type wearable components, fail to securely fix the device due to their elasticity and flexibility, leading to shaking and shifting during transport.

Innovation Solution

A packaging box design featuring a first and second box body with a pivoting connection, accommodating and fixing structures made of elastic material (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) that securely fits the VR device and wearable components, preventing displacement and damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional rigid packaging box structure is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot effectively fix the C-type wearable component due to its elasticity and flexibility, leading to device shaking and shifting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing effectivenessVSAvoidpackaging box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box is divided into a first box body for accommodating the wearable component and a second box body for accommodating the device body, with each having independent fixing structures. This segmentation allows each compartment to be optimized for its specific contents, improving fixing effectiveness without requiring an overly complex integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging box incorporates elastic fixing structures that can dynamically adapt to the C-type wearable component's elasticity and flexibility. The elastic material allows the fixing structure to maintain constant pressure on the component, ensuring reliable fixation despite the component's inherent flexibility, while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the packaging box uses a simple structure, then it is easy to manufacture, but it fails to prevent the VR device from shaking or moving during transport

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoidpackaging box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box applies local quality by placing elastic fixing structures specifically at locations where the C-type wearable component requires stabilization. Rather than making the entire box complex, only specific regions have the enhanced elastic fixing capability, maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving device stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameter of the fixing structure by using elastic material with specific elastic modulus and damping characteristics. This allows the fixing structure to provide consistent fixing force while absorbing vibrations, improving device stability during transport without requiring complex mechanical mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the packaging box accommodates both the wearable component and device body separately, then it provides better protection, but it increases the packaging box complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice protectionVSAvoidpackaging box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box is segmented into two distinct compartments: a first box body for the wearable component with a groove-shaped fixing structure, and a second box body for the device body with corresponding fixing structures. This segmentation provides targeted protection for each component while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first and second box bodies are designed to fit together in a nested configuration, with the first box body containing the wearable component and the second box body containing the device body. This nesting arrangement provides comprehensive protection for both components while minimizing the overall packaging volume and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
