Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual installation method is used, then installation flexibility is maintained, but installation time increases and precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidlevel difference between display modules
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The installation system performs self-adjustment through the controller automatically controlling the displacement adjuster based on sensor feedback, eliminating the need for manual intervention and achieving both high precision and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The sensor module detects the level difference between adjacent display modules and feeds this information back to the controller, which then adjusts the displacement adjuster to eliminate the detected discrepancy, achieving precise automatic leveling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If automatic adjustment system is added, then installation precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel difference between display modulesVSAvoidinstallation system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into independent functional modules: sensor module for detection, displacement adjuster for adjustment, and controller for coordination, allowing each component to be optimized independently and simplifying the overall system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The displacement adjuster can be applied to multiple different display module installation scenarios, and the sensor module can detect various types of level differences, making the system universally applicable across different installation contexts

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

3Manufacturing precision

If specialized adjustment equipment is used, then adjustment precision is improved, but equipment cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel difference adjustment accuracyVSAvoidadditional equipment required
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensor module acts as an intermediary between the display modules and the displacement adjuster, providing precise measurement data that enables the controller to make accurate adjustments without requiring complex specialized equipment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated control system that uses sensor feedback and electronic control to achieve precise positioning, eliminating the need for specialized mechanical adjustment tools

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
