Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the quantum strip is fixed firmly in a narrow installation position, then the quantum strip is protected, but it becomes difficult to replace and easy to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum strip protectionVSAvoidquantum strip replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The quantum strip is divided into a quantum dot layer and a substrate, allowing the quantum dot layer to be separated and replaced independently while the substrate remains fixed in the groove, resolving the contradiction between protection and replaceability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The quantum dot layer is extracted as a replaceable component from the fixed quantum strip assembly, enabling easy replacement of the quantum dot layer without replacing the entire quantum strip structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If the quantum strip is fixed firmly, then the quantum strip is protected, but it is easily damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum strip protectionVSAvoidquantum strip durability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

Buffer blocks are placed at both ends of the groove to provide cushioning protection for the quantum strip during installation and operation, preventing damage from mechanical stress while maintaining secure positioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The quantum dot layer is implemented as a flexible thin film that can be easily replaced, while the rigid substrate provides structural support and protection, creating a composite structure that combines flexibility and strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
