Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the frame is made of aluminum material, then the frame has good machining properties and ease of manufacture, but the frame has greater weight and less structural strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachining propertyVSAvoidframe weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The frame body is made of carbon fiber or glass fiber composite materials instead of traditional aluminum alloys. These composite materials provide superior strength-to-weight ratio, reducing frame weight while maintaining or enhancing structural strength. The embedded metal or plastic members are integrated into the composite frame body through compression molding, creating a hybrid structure that combines the advantages of different materials.

Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If the frame is made of aluminum material, then the frame has ease of manufacture, but the frame has less structural strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The frame body utilizes carbon fiber or glass fiber composite materials which inherently provide higher structural strength compared to aluminum alloys of the same weight. The embedded members made of metal or plastic materials are integrated through compression molding to form a unified structure that enhances overall structural strength while maintaining ease of manufacture through mold-based production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The frame is divided into a frame body and embedded members as separate components that are later integrated. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the frame body for lightweight composite structure and the embedded members for specific functional requirements - before being combined through compression molding to achieve the final high-strength structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Weight of moving object

If the frame body volume is reduced for lightweight design, then the frame achieves smaller volume and lower weight, but the structural strength may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe weightVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

By using carbon fiber or glass fiber composite materials for the frame body, the invention achieves high structural strength with reduced volume and weight. These composite materials have inherently higher specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio) than traditional metals, allowing the frame to be lighter and more compact while maintaining required structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure is segmented into a composite frame body and embedded reinforcement members. This segmentation allows the frame body to be minimized for weight reduction while the embedded members provide localized structural reinforcement where needed, ensuring overall structural strength is maintained despite the reduced frame body volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a frame and a display screen. The frame includes: a frame body made of a carbon fiber or glass fiber material, and an embedded member made of a metal or plastic material and connected to the frame body; the frame body and the embedded member are connected in a mold by compression molding, and the embedded member is configured to mount a lock body. Under the same volume requirement, the frame body has a smaller volume and a greater structural strength, and the lightweight design of the frame is implemented on a basis of the structural strength. At the same time, it is ensured that the embedded member can be processed to have a mounting structure matched with the lock body, and the mounting structure can satisfy higher processing efficiency and accuracy.
