Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional wiring module with cable unit, backing glue, and reinforcing plate is used to connect the receiver to the main board, then the electrical connection is established, but the structure becomes complicated and manufacturing and maintenance costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidwiring module structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the cable unit, backing glue, and reinforcing plate into an integrated conducting member structure. The conducting member includes a body portion with integrated reinforcing features and a connecting portion that directly couples the receiver to the main board, eliminating the need for separate wiring components while maintaining electrical connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The conducting member is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical connection, structural reinforcement, and mechanical support. The body portion includes a reinforcing plate integrated into its structure, and the connecting portion provides both electrical conductivity and mechanical attachment, reducing the need for separate specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If a traditional wiring module with multiple components is used, then the electrical connection is established, but the manufacture and maintenance cost becomes high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple wiring components into a single integrated conducting member, reducing the number of parts that need to be manufactured, inventoried, and assembled. This integration simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces overall production costs while maintaining the functional requirements of electrical connection and structural support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential functions from the complex wiring module and implements them in a simplified conducting member structure. By removing unnecessary components and retaining only the critical functions (electrical conduction, reinforcement, and connection), the design reduces manufacturing complexity and cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If a simplified conducting member structure is used to connect the receiver to the main board, then the structure is simplified and manufacturing cost is reduced, but the reliability of electrical connection must be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure simplicityVSAvoidelectrical connection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates reinforcing features directly into the conducting member body, combining structural support and electrical conduction in a single component. This integration ensures that the simplified structure maintains the reliability of electrical connection while reducing overall complexity compared to multi-component wiring modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
