Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual disassembly method is used, then operation flexibility is maintained, but disassembly efficiency and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The cutting tool mechanism is designed to perform disassembly operations automatically without requiring manual intervention. The blade moves along the guide rail and cuts the adhesive layer automatically, while the fixing module holds the camera module in place, enabling the system to service itself during the disassembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical disassembly with an automated cutting mechanism. The blade, guided by a rail system, substitutes human hands and tools, providing consistent cutting force and precision that manual methods cannot achieve, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining controlled complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual disassembly is performed, then equipment cost is low, but positioning accuracy and lens integrity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The guide rail acts as an intermediary between the blade and the camera module, ensuring precise positioning and movement. The fixing module serves as another intermediary that securely holds the camera module during disassembly. These intermediary components enable accurate positioning without requiring complex overall system design.
Solution Approach 2:
The disassembly mechanism is segmented into distinct functional modules: the fixing module for securing the camera module, the guide rail for precise blade movement, and the blade for cutting. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall system simplicity.
3Reliability
If automated cutting mechanism is introduced, then disassembly accuracy improves, but device structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cutting tool mechanism is designed with multi-functionality to reduce overall complexity. The blade can cut through adhesive layers while the same mechanism ensures precise positioning and controlled movement. The fixing module not only holds the camera module but also provides a stable base for the cutting operation, making multiple components serve multiple purposes.

AI summary
A cutting tool mechanism comprises a base, a fixing module disposed on the base for fixing a product to be disassembled, a first moving mechanism disposed on a side of the fixing module, and a three-dimensional cutter rotatably disposed on the first moving mechanism and matched with the fixing module. The first moving mechanism extends in a first direction and is configured to drive the three-dimensional cutter to move in the first direction, and the three-dimensional cutter is configured to be driven to move in a second direction and in a third direction, each of the second direction and the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction.
