1.
exploded view; breakdown diagram showing the component parts of a product
A technical illustration that shows the individual parts of a product separated out along the lines they fit together, so that the viewer can see how everything is assembled. Used in manuals, parts catalogs, repair guides, and engineering documentation.
Before doing the repair, check the exploded view carefully to confirm where each part goes.
Composed of 分解 (disassembly, breakdown) and 図 (figure, diagram).
Usage
分解図 is a technical term that appears in instruction manuals, repair documentation, patent drawings, and parts-ordering catalogs. It refers specifically to a diagram where parts are drawn pulled apart along axes so their assembly relationships are visible — the English concept of an "exploded view."
