Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the object to be processed is attached to a flat pressure sensitive adhesive sheet, then the processing can be performed stably, but the processed product is difficult to remove from the sheet

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing stabilityVSAvoidremoval ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The pressure sensitive adhesive sheet is designed with locally different surface properties: a flat region for stable processing and an uneven region for easy removal. This local differentiation allows the sheet to provide both stable processing conditions and easy removal of processed products without compromising either function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The pressure sensitive adhesive sheet is divided into functionally distinct regions: a first region with a flat surface for processing and a second region with an uneven surface for removal. This segmentation allows each region to optimize its specific function, resolving the contradiction between processing stability and removal ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the processed product is removed from the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet, then productivity is improved, but the removal process becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidremoval time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The pressure sensitive adhesive sheet incorporates an uneven surface region specifically designed to reduce adhesion strength. When the processed product is placed on this uneven region, the reduced contact area significantly decreases adhesion, enabling rapid and easy removal that improves productivity without time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Strength

If the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet has a flat surface, then the adhesion strength is high for stable processing, but the processed product cannot be easily removed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strengthVSAvoidremoval ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The pressure sensitive adhesive sheet is segmented into a first region with high adhesion strength for stable processing and a second region with reduced adhesion strength for easy removal. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing both strong adhesion where needed and weak adhesion where removal is required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet are given different surface qualities: the flat first region provides strong adhesion for stable processing, while the uneven second region provides weak adhesion for easy removal. This local quality differentiation simultaneously satisfies both requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
