Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional connection devices are used to connect display modules, then the display modules can be assembled, but the assembly and storage require a lot of manpower and time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by designing a turning piece with multiple joints that can dynamically change configuration between folded and unfolded states. The turning piece includes a first turning piece, second turning piece, and third turning piece that can rotate relative to each other, enabling the display modules to be quickly assembled and disassembled without manual fastening operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the connection device into multiple independent turning pieces (first, second, and third turning pieces) that can move independently. Each turning piece has specific rotation axes and connecting portions that allow modular assembly, enabling quick connection and storage of display modules through simple folding actions rather than complex fastening procedures.
2Ease of operation
If display modules are stacked on top of each other for storage, then storage is achieved, but it requires a lot of manpower and time to assemble and disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The turning piece provides dynamic folding capability with multiple rotation joints that allow the display modules to be collapsed into a compact configuration for storage. The first, second, and third turning pieces can rotate around their respective axes to fold the display modules together, enabling easy storage and retrieval operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nesting by designing the turning pieces to fold the display modules into a compact nested configuration during storage. The multiple turning pieces allow the display modules to be folded within each other, reducing storage space requirements and enabling single-person operation without manual stacking.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a multi-directional multi-joint turning piece is used to connect display modules, then pivot and unfolding functionality is provided, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The complex multi-directional turning mechanism is segmented into three separate turning pieces, each with a specific rotation axis and connecting portions. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure by dividing the complex motion into manageable independent joints, making the device easier to manufacture and assemble while maintaining versatile pivot and unfolding capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Each turning piece is designed with universal connecting portions that can connect to multiple display modules through standardized interfaces. The first, second, and third turning pieces all have similar structural features (connecting portions, rotation axes) that allow them to perform multiple functions in different configurations, reducing overall system complexity through standardization.
