Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If connection pieces such as screws are used to connect supporting pieces and fixed pieces, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembling and disassembling process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is divided into two functional parts: convex structures on fixed pieces and corresponding connection hole structures on supporting pieces. This segmentation allows the connection to be made through simple insertion and elastic clamping without requiring screws or complex fastening mechanisms, thus maintaining connection strength while greatly simplifying assembly and disassembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The convex structures are designed with elastic properties that enable them to automatically clamp into the connection hole structures through elastic deformation. This self-clamping mechanism eliminates the need for additional fastening operations, allowing the connection to secure itself upon insertion, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining reliable connection strength.
2Stability of the object's composition
If fasteners are knocked into fastener holes for fixed connection, then the connection stability is improved, but the matching connection with movable pieces provided with hooks cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The convex structures and connection hole structures are designed as universal connection interfaces that can accommodate both fixed pieces and movable pieces with hooks. The elastic clamping mechanism provides stable connection for fixed pieces while also enabling smooth insertion and removal for movable pieces, thus achieving both connection stability and adaptability through a single unified connection system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If hanging holes and hooks are used for connection, then the adaptability for connecting fixed pieces and movable pieces is improved, but the connection of fixed pieces still needs screws and other parts for further fixing
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the hanging hole function and the fastening function into a single integrated connection hole structure. The connection hole structures include elastic clamping portions that provide both the hanging capability and the automatic fastening mechanism, eliminating the need for separate screws and other fastening parts. This merging reduces device complexity while maintaining connection adaptability for both fixed and movable pieces.
4Use of energy by moving object
If power lines are directly led to corresponding shelves for charging equipment, then the power supply function is improved, but chaotic cabling on the shelf and in warehouse occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply function is nested within the bracket structure itself through integrated connection hole structures that incorporate electrical contacts. The electrical connections are embedded in the connection interfaces between supporting and fixed pieces, allowing power to be supplied to equipment mounted on the bracket without requiring external power lines running through the shelf and warehouse. This nesting eliminates chaotic cabling while maintaining power supply capability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design enables easy assembly and disassembly of brackets while ensuring connection strength and stability, and simplifies electrical connections by integrating power supply directly into the bracket structure, reducing cable management issues.
Implementation Method 1
The convex structures include two symmetrically disposed convex clasps. The sockets include insertion portions and clamping portions which are communicated with each other. A clearance of the clamping portions is smaller than that of the insertion portions. The convex clasps are inserted into the insertion portions and move to be clamped into the clamping portions.
