Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of brackets are used for different joining configurations, then the required joining configurations can be achieved, but the complexity of device management and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing a single bracket that can perform multiple joining configurations. The bracket includes multiple threaded holes arranged in different patterns (concentric holes for linear connection, perpendicular holes for vertical fixation, and holes positioned for purlin attachment), allowing one bracket to replace multiple specialized brackets while maintaining adaptability to various HVAC installation requirements
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of brackets are carried for different configurations, then all joining requirements can be met, but the portability and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket design integrates multiple joining capabilities into a single portable unit. Installers only need to carry one type of bracket instead of multiple specialized brackets, significantly improving portability while still providing linear connection, vertical fixation, and purlin attachment capabilities through its multi-pattern threaded hole arrangement
3Reliability
If multiple bracket types are used to ensure proper configuration, then installation correctness can be achieved, but the installation time and productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket provides reliable installation correctness by incorporating all necessary joining configurations in one device. The multiple threaded hole patterns ensure proper alignment and secure attachment for different HVAC equipment orientations, while eliminating the time-consuming process of selecting and switching between different bracket types during installation
