Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the PCB module under the touch manipulation part is not securely supported, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manipulation sensitivity and accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A support means (support rib or support plate) is introduced as an intermediary component between the PCB module and the main body housing. This intermediary structure securely supports the PCB module, preventing downward movement and maintaining manipulation accuracy without requiring complex direct attachment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is segmented into discrete support ribs or a support plate that can be independently designed and positioned. This segmentation allows the PCB module to be securely supported at specific critical points without requiring a completely complex structural framework
2Ease of manufacture
If the PCB module under the touch manipulation part is not securely supported, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support means acts as a mediator that simplifies assembly by providing a dedicated mounting interface for the PCB module. The support rib or support plate can be easily integrated into the main body housing and provides reliable mechanical support, ensuring both ease of manufacture and operational reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The support means is combined with the heat dissipation frame structure, merging the support function with the thermal management function. This integration maintains reliability by securely supporting the PCB module while simplifying manufacturing through structure consolidation
3Device complexity
If the touch module is not securely fixed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manipulation accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support means serves as an intermediary structure that directly supports the touch module, preventing downward movement and maintaining precise alignment with the touch manipulation part. This simple yet effective intermediary structure ensures touch sensing accuracy without complex fixing mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The support means maintains the touch module in a stable, fixed position relative to the main body housing, creating an equipotential mechanical relationship that prevents movement and ensures consistent touch sensing performance
4Device complexity
If air flow is not directed through the motor assembly, then the device complexity is reduced, but the heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cooling function is merged with the existing support structure by integrating air flow passages through the support means and heat dissipation frame. This consolidation provides effective cooling for the motor assembly and electronic components without requiring a separate complex cooling system
Solution Approach 2:
The support means and heat dissipation frame serve multiple functions: they provide mechanical support for the PCB and touch modules while simultaneously acting as thermal management structures that direct air flow to cool the motor assembly and electronic components
