Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional fixing methods (screws, adhesive, curing glue) are used to connect two structures, then the connection strength is improved, but the ease of disassembly and recyclability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is divided into separate components: an embedding structure with hooks and a socket with corresponding receiving features. This segmentation allows the connection to be mechanically divided into insertable parts that can be easily separated, eliminating the need for screws or adhesive while maintaining connection strength through the hook-socket engagement.
Solution Approach 2:
The embedding structure is inserted into the socket, with the hooks of the embedding structure engaging with the internal features of the socket. This nesting arrangement creates a tight mechanical connection where the embedding structure fits within the socket, providing strong connection while allowing easy removal by pulling the embedding structure out.
2Reliability
If traditional fixing methods are used to connect two structures, then the reliability of connection is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the need for additional fixing components such as screws, adhesive, or curing glue. The connection reliability is achieved through the inherent mechanical engagement between the hooks of the embedding structure and the socket, simplifying the overall device by removing unnecessary parts and reducing assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The embedding structure and socket are designed to self-connect through their geometric features. The hooks automatically engage with the socket when inserted, and the restricting parts prevent disengagement under normal use. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for additional fixing components while ensuring reliable connection.
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional fixing methods are used, then the stability of connection is improved, but the recyclability and sustainability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system transitions from a permanent fixed state (adhesive, screws) to a dynamic reversible state. The embedding structure can be easily inserted into and removed from the socket, allowing the connection to be established and dismantled as needed. This dynamic characteristic enables recycling and reuse of components while maintaining stable connection during use through the mechanical engagement of hooks and socket.

AI summary
An embedding assembly is proposed. The embedding assembly includes a socket and an embedding structure. The embedding structure is detachably connected to the socket and includes a body, two hooks and two restricting parts. The two hooks are respectively disposed on one end of the body and extend in a direction from the body. The two restricting parts are respectively connected to two sides of the body and extend in the direction. A space is formed between the two restricting parts and the body respectively. When the embedding structure is connected to the socket, the two hooks pass through the socket and buckle with one end of the socket, and the other end of the socket is embedded in the space.
