Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If coffee lovers use multiple filter cups and papers to achieve different extraction flavors, then the coffee extraction quality is improved, but the storage space occupied and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The filter cup is designed with a foldable cup body that can transform between an unfolded state supporting conical filter paper and a folded state supporting cake filter paper. This multi-functional design allows a single filter cup to accommodate different filter paper types and achieve different coffee extraction flavors, eliminating the need for multiple separate filter cups and improving portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup body employs a foldable structure with crease grooves that enables dynamic transformation between unfolded and folded states. This dynamic design allows the filter cup to adapt its shape according to the type of filter paper being used, providing versatility in coffee extraction while maintaining compact storage space when not in use.

3Volume of moving object
If the foldable cup body is designed with crease grooves to enable folding, then the portability is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cup body is designed as a flexible structure with integrated crease grooves that allow easy folding without requiring additional mechanical components. The crease grooves are directly formed on the cup body, enabling it to be folded into a compact state for portability while maintaining structural integrity and avoiding increased device complexity.
