Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional soldering methods are used to connect chips to circuit boards, then reliable electrical connection is achieved, but the repair process becomes complex and time-consuming requiring specialized tools
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the chip connection function from the circuit board by introducing an adapter seat as an intermediate component. The adapter seat contains multiple terminal-receiving grooves that accommodate chip pins, and separate connecting pieces that connect to the circuit board. This segmentation allows the chip to be detached from the adapter seat without affecting the circuit board, simplifying repair operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapter seat serves as an intermediary component between the chip and the circuit board. It provides terminal-receiving grooves for chip pins and connecting pieces for circuit board attachment. This intermediary structure enables easy chip replacement by allowing the chip to be detached from the adapter seat while the adapter seat remains connected to the circuit board, eliminating the need for complex soldering operations.
2Reliability
If conventional soldering methods are used to connect chips to circuit boards, then secure electrical connection is achieved, but the repair time increases due to step-by-step welding and cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the connection system into separate functional modules: the adapter seat with terminal-receiving grooves for chip pins, and separate connecting pieces for circuit board attachment. This segmentation enables rapid chip replacement by allowing the chip to be detached from the adapter seat without affecting the circuit board connection, reducing repair time from hours to minutes.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapter seat is pre-connected to the circuit board using connecting pieces before the chip is installed. This preliminary action establishes a stable base connection, allowing the chip to be quickly attached or detached from the adapter seat without requiring repeated soldering operations, thereby significantly reducing repair time.
3Manufacturing precision
If specialized tools are used for conventional chip repair, then precise soldering can be achieved, but the accessibility and ease of operation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter seat acts as an intermediary that provides a standardized interface between the chip and circuit board. It contains terminal-receiving grooves that precisely accommodate chip pins and connecting pieces that securely attach to the circuit board. This intermediary structure eliminates the need for specialized soldering tools while maintaining reliable electrical connection, allowing users to simply plug and unplug the chip for replacement.
4Device complexity
If direct chip-to-circuit board connection is used, then simple structure is maintained, but the adaptability to different chip sizes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter seat is designed with multiple terminal-receiving grooves arranged in different configurations to accommodate various chip pin layouts and sizes. The connecting pieces can be adjusted or replaced to match different circuit board connection requirements. This universal design allows a single adapter seat to support multiple chip types and sizes, enhancing versatility while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

AI summary
A chip adapter seat for positioning and connecting to a chip includes an insulating seat body, a plurality of terminals and a pressing element. The insulating seat body has an accommodating space for arranging the chip. On the corresponding sides of the accommodating space, a plurality of terminal-receiving grooves is provided to correspond to the chip pins. Each terminal-receiving groove is provided with a terminal therein. On end of the each terminal is electrically connected to the chip pin, and the other end thereof projects from the outside of the periphery of the insulating seat body. The pressing element is connected above the accommodating space of the insulating seat body for pressing the chip in the accommodating space of the insulating seat body. With the above arrangement, another chip can be rapidly changed without complicated detaching process when the chip is damaged. Further, the repairing procedure becomes simple and convenient for use to connect various kinds of chips with different sizes, thereby increasing the versatility.
