Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a gear and rack transmission mechanism is used for liquid injection, then the liquid delivery function is achieved, but the structure becomes complex with numerous components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the gear and rack transmission mechanism from the liquid injection device, removing the complex mechanical components while retaining the essential liquid delivery function through a simplified direct injection approach
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical gear and rack transmission system with a simplified injection mechanism that directly delivers liquid without complex mechanical transmission components, reducing structural complexity while maintaining functionality
2Reliability
If a gear and rack transmission mechanism is used, then liquid injection is achieved, but installation and maintenance become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By removing the gear and rack transmission mechanism, the patent eliminates the components that make installation and maintenance difficult, resulting in a simpler device that is easier to install, operate, and maintain while preserving liquid injection capability
3Reliability
If a gear and rack transmission mechanism is used, then liquid delivery is achieved, but manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the expensive gear and rack transmission components, significantly reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining the essential liquid delivery function through a more economical simplified injection mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adopts a simpler, more cost-effective injection mechanism that eliminates expensive mechanical transmission components, making the device more economically viable for manufacturing and deployment
