Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple receiving cases of different shapes are designed to accommodate different specifications of batteries or capacitors, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The receiving case is designed with a single standardized housing that can accommodate different specifications of batteries or capacitors through adjustable internal structures. The case includes a first base, second base, and cover that can be configured in multiple ways, allowing one universal design to replace multiple specialized designs, thereby improving adaptability while reducing device complexity and manufacturing costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving case is divided into separable components including a first base, second base, and cover that can be assembled and disassembled. This segmentation allows the internal configuration to be adjusted for different battery or capacitor specifications without redesigning the entire case, enabling versatility while maintaining a standardized overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional receiving case includes multiple parts for disassembling and assembling, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The first base and second base are designed to be slidably connected through sliding portions that engage with each other, merging two separate components into a unified structure during operation. This sliding connection allows for easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining structural integrity, improving ease of operation without sacrificing adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the cover is rigidly fixed to the first base, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The cover is designed with a pivoting connection to the first base, allowing it to rotate relative to the base. This dynamic connection provides reliable coverage when closed while enabling easy opening and closing operations, resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation by allowing the system to transition between fixed and movable states as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A chassis includes a receiving case. The receiving case includes a first base, a second base, and a cover. The first base includes two first side walls. One of the two first side walls includes a first sliding portion. One of the two first side walls includes a multi-segment positioning portion. The second base includes two second side walls. One of the two second side walls includes a second sliding portion. One of the two second side walls includes a multi-segment alignment portion. The cover is pivoted on the first base. The first sliding portion is connected to the second sliding portion, and the multi-segment positioning portion of the first base is adapted to be engaged with the multi-segment alignment portion of the second base, so that the second base is slidably disposed on the first base. The receiving case is adapted to accommodate electronic elements.
