Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional sucker is used, then the installation procedure is simple, but the sucking capability is insufficient and the sucker may fall off due to improper installation
Solution Approach 1:
The sucker is divided into multiple functional elements: a suction element with suction elastic portion for creating vacuum, a pressing element with pressing elastic portion for applying initial pressure, and a pressure adjusting element for fine-tuning the air space volume. This segmentation allows each element to perform its specific function optimally, improving both installation ease and sucking reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing element is pre-configured to automatically apply pressing force to the suction element when the sucker is installed. This preliminary action ensures the suction elastic portion is properly deformed and the air space is correctly formed before the user even touches the pressure adjusting element, preventing improper installation and ensuring reliable attachment from the start.
2Reliability
If the suction elastic portion is pressed firmly to improve attachment, then the sucking capability increases, but the air space volume decreases reducing effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically balances the air space volume and suction force through the pressure adjusting element. Users can adjust the air space volume according to different attachment needs and object weights. The pressing element provides initial dynamic pressing force during installation, while the pressure adjusting element allows for dynamic adjustment afterward, maintaining optimal balance between air space volume and attachment strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressure adjusting element enables users to change the air space volume parameter to match different application requirements. By adjusting this parameter, the system optimizes the balance between having enough volume for effective vacuum and sufficient compression for strong attachment, resolving the contradiction between these two opposing requirements.
3Reliability
If a drilled fixation manner is used, then the attachment is very secure, but the installation procedure becomes too complicated for users to install themselves
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the mechanical drilling and screw-fixation system with a pneumatic vacuum attachment system. Instead of requiring holes, drills, and screws, the sucker uses vacuum pressure created by the suction element and adjusted by the pressure adjusting element to achieve secure attachment. This substitution dramatically reduces installation complexity while maintaining reliable attachment security.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing element is designed to automatically provide the necessary pressing force during installation without requiring user intervention or additional tools. The suction element automatically creates vacuum when pressed against the surface, and the pressure adjusting element allows users to self-adjust the attachment strength. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex drilling and screwing operations, enabling users to install the sucker themselves easily.

AI summary
A composite sucker is for being sucked on an attached surface. The composite sucker includes a suction element, a pressing element and a pressure adjusting element. The suction element is for being connected to and sucked on the attached surface. The suction element includes a suction elastic portion. An air space is formed between the suction elastic portion and the attached surface. The pressing element is connected to the suction element and includes a pressing elastic portion. The pressing elastic portion is disposed farther away from the attached surface than the suction elastic portion therefrom. The pressure adjusting element is connected to the suction element. The pressure adjusting element is able to drive the suction elastic portion to be deformed, so that a volume of the air space is able to become greater.
