Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed support structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot support display devices of different weights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different weightsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support device employs an elastic assembly that dynamically adjusts its support force based on the weight of the display device. The elastic component can deform and recover, providing adaptive support without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms, thus achieving weight adaptability while maintaining relatively simple structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic assembly changes its physical state (deformation degree) in response to different weights. By utilizing the elastic property of materials, the support force automatically adjusts according to the applied load, enabling the device to accommodate various weights through parameter changes rather than structural modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of support devices are used to support different weights, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport capability for different weightsVSAvoidnumber of device types
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support device is designed with universal adaptability through the elastic assembly that can handle a range of weights. Instead of creating multiple specialized devices for different weight categories, this single device design performs multiple functions by leveraging the continuous adjustment capability of the elastic component, thereby supporting various display device weights without increasing the number of device types

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If a rigid support structure is used, then the manufacturing precision is easy to control, but the adaptability to different weights is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweight adaptabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The design transitions from a rigid structure to one incorporating elastic elements that change their physical parameters (deformation, stress, strain) in response to different weights. This approach maintains manufacturing simplicity by using standard elastic components while achieving the desired adaptability, avoiding the need for complex rigid structures with multiple adjustment mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
