Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a simple holder structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the rigidity of the holder is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholder rigidityVSAvoidholder structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is segmented into distinct functional parts: a base portion for mounting, a bending part for structural reinforcement, and a coupling part for attaching the back cover. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall rigidity without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The holder incorporates a bending part with curved geometry that extends from the base. This curved structure provides structural reinforcement and rigidity while distributing stresses more effectively than straight lines, enhancing strength without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional coupling structures are used, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but thermal deformation cannot be minimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal deformation resistanceVSAvoidcoupling structure manufacturing
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling part is designed with specific geometric parameters including a curled configuration and defined contact area with the back cover. These parameter changes optimize the thermal expansion characteristics and mechanical coupling strength, reducing thermal deformation while maintaining manufacturability through standard forming processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Strength

If a rigid coupling structure is used, then the holder rigidity is improved, but EMI noise increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholder rigidityVSAvoidEMI noise
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling part employs a flexible curved design that can slightly deform under thermal stress or vibration. This flexibility acts as a mechanical filter for high-frequency vibrations and electromagnetic interference, reducing EMI noise transmission while maintaining sufficient structural rigidity for device assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The bending part serves as an intermediary element between the rigid base and the back cover coupling. This intermediate curved structure decouples direct rigid connections, reducing the transmission path for EMI noise while still providing the necessary mechanical support and positioning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
