Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a turnover machine is used to turn over the liquid crystal panel, then the panel can be turned over automatically, but the machine occupies large space and requires power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the turnover function into two simple support structures (first support structure and second support structure) that can be manually positioned, eliminating the need for a large automated machine while achieving the same functional result
Solution Approach 2:
The operator manually positions the support structures and adjusts the panel angle without requiring an automated power-consuming machine, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating complex mechanical automation
2Extent of automation
If a turnover machine is used to turn over the liquid crystal panel, then the panel can be turned over, but the machine requires power source and vacuum adsorption which reduces operational reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The support structures are designed to be manually adjustable without requiring power sources or vacuum systems, eliminating points of failure and improving operational reliability through passive mechanical design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent removes the power source and vacuum adsorption systems from the turnover mechanism, keeping only the essential mechanical support and positioning functions that do not require external power
3Extent of automation
If a turnover machine is used to turn over the liquid crystal panel, then the panel can be turned over by 180 degrees, but the process is inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The device allows dynamic adjustment of the panel angle between the two support structures, enabling flexible positioning at various angles rather than fixed 180-degree turnover, improving operational efficiency and adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
By separating the support into two independent adjustable structures, the system allows incremental positioning and angle adjustment, making the turnover process more efficient and adaptable to different operational needs
4Ease of operation
If the liquid crystal panel is placed with color filter substrate facing upward, then the array substrate side needs to be accessed, but the panel needs to be turned over which requires complex equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The turnover function is segmented into simple, independent support structures that can be manually adjusted, eliminating the need for complex automated turnover equipment while maintaining ease of panel access
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using a complex machine to turn the panel over, the device inverts the approach by using simple adjustable supports that allow the panel to be positioned and accessed from either side without requiring mechanical turnover
