Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices lack real-time detection capabilities for bonding resistance, which can degrade due to factors like vibration and temperature, leading to undetected bonding degradation.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a detection system and test loop that applies a signal to detect bonding resistance by measuring the voltage drop across a test loop connected to the panel and circuit boards, using a detection unit and controller to determine if the bonding resistance is within a normal range.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If bonding state is judged by observing indentation or fracture pattern of conductive particles, then bonding state can be roughly judged, but bonding resistance cannot be judged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding resistance detectionVSAvoiddetection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical observation method (visually inspecting indentation or fracture patterns of conductive particles) with an electrical detection system that measures bonding resistance through applied voltage and current measurement, enabling precise quantitative detection of bonding quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a test loop with known resistance as an intermediary element in the detection circuit, allowing the detection system to calculate bonding resistance by measuring voltage across the test loop and comparing it with the known test loop resistance, thereby indirectly obtaining bonding resistance values

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If bonding degradation is not detected in advance, then device structure remains simple, but bonding degradation cannot be detected leading to potential failures

Engineering Contradiction:
