Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If diamonds are inlaid using traditional adhesive bonding in bored holes, then the process can be performed with simple equipment, but the production efficiency is low and the diamonds may fall off easily
Solution Approach 1:
The temple body is segmented to include a separate elastic component with gripping parts that can independently clamp the diamond. This segmentation allows the diamond to be secured by mechanical pressure from the elastic body rather than relying on adhesive bonding, thereby improving both production efficiency and diamond retention stability
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic body automatically grips the diamond when installed, requiring no additional adhesive or complex assembly steps. The elastic force self-secures the diamond in place, eliminating the need for separate bonding operations and reducing production time while ensuring reliable diamond retention
2Reliability
If traditional adhesive bonding is used to fix diamonds, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the diamonds are not firmly fixed and may fall off
Solution Approach 1:
The temple structure incorporates a dynamic elastic body that can deform to grip the diamond and then maintain constant pressure to secure it firmly. This dynamic mechanism provides reliable diamond fixation without requiring complex multi-component assemblies or adhesive materials
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic body's physical state is utilized to provide gripping force. By changing the elastic parameters (such as elasticity coefficient and deformation amount), the structure achieves firm diamond fixation while maintaining a relatively simple overall design
3Productivity
If manual diamond inlaying in bored holes is performed, then the equipment requirements are minimal, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic body is pre-formed with gripping parts and slots designed to accommodate the diamond. This preliminary preparation allows for rapid diamond installation without time-consuming manual alignment or adhesive application, significantly improving inlaying speed while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple
Solution Approach 2:
The traditional mechanical process of drilling holes and applying adhesive is replaced with an elastic mechanical gripping system. This substitution eliminates the need for drilling and bonding operations, accelerating the inlaying process while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through a single integrated component
