Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed partition plate is used in the storage box, then the structure is simple and stable, but the storage case sizes cannot be adjusted causing inconvenience of use

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadjustability of storage case sizesVSAvoidstructure of partition plate

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The partition plate is divided into multiple independent sections separated by silica gel sealing strips. These segmented sections can be independently moved and repositioned along the inner wall of the storage box, allowing flexible adjustment of storage case sizes while maintaining structural integrity through the sealing strips.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The partition plate transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic, movable structure. The partition sections can slide along the inner wall and be positioned at different locations, enabling the storage box to adapt to different storage needs while maintaining stability through the groove embedding design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the partition plate is made movable for adjustment, then the usability is improved, but the stability and anti-falling performance may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemovability of partition plateVSAvoidstability of partition plate

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The partition plate sections are embedded within grooves formed by the silica gel sealing strips and the box structure. This nesting arrangement allows the partition to move freely within the groove while preventing it from detaching or falling out, thus maintaining stability while enabling adjustability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The silica gel sealing strips act as intermediary elements between the partition plate and the box wall. These strips provide both the guiding groove for movement and the retaining structure that prevents the partition from falling, mediating between the requirements for movability and stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If suckers are added to enhance adsorption and prevent falling, then the stability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadsorption to inner wallVSAvoidnumber of components

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The suckers are integrated directly onto the partition plate sections, merging the adsorption function with the partition structure itself. This combination adds minimal complexity while significantly enhancing the adsorption capability and preventing the partition from falling during use.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
