Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional disentanglement puzzles are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but user interest and enthusiasm decline due to lack of complexity and variety
Solution Approach 1:
The puzzle structure implements nesting by placing the columnar structure inside the ring of the first annular member, and the first structure inside the ring of the first connection member. This nested arrangement creates multiple levels of interconnection, allowing the string to be entwined and removed through various paths and combinations, thereby increasing operational variety without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from conventional two-dimensional flat puzzles to a three-dimensional structure by introducing vertical stacking with the columnar structure, arched/annular structures at different heights, and swingable annular members. This dimensional expansion creates multiple spatial pathways for string manipulation, significantly enhancing operational variety and complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional ring-moving toys are used, then the structure is simple, but the operations are repetitive and lack variety
Solution Approach 1:
The first and second annular members are configured to swingably connect to the columnar structure through connection members, introducing dynamic movement capabilities. This swingable mechanism allows the annular members to move between fixed and rotated positions, creating variable operational paths for the string and preventing repetitive motions, thereby enhancing uniqueness of operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The puzzle is segmented into distinct functional components: columnar structure, first and second arched/annular structures, first and second connection members, and first and second annular members. Each segment serves specific functions and can be manipulated independently, allowing for diverse operational combinations and reducing repetitiveness while managing complexity through modular design.

AI summary
A wisdom ring puzzle includes a base, a three-dimensional structure including a columnar structure and a first structure having an arched structure or an annular structure, and a member having an annular structure. The columnar structure has a first connection member and a first annular member. The columnar structure and the first structure are provided to face each other in a side view. The first connection member passes through the first structure and has one end connected to the columnar structure and another end to the first annular member. The columnar structure and the first structure is included inside a ring of the first annular member.
