Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional clamping device with screw clamp is used for attaching electrical facilities to a supporting desk, then the attachment is secure and stable, but the structure becomes complicated and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the clamping function and attachment function into a single integrated clamp body structure. The clamp body includes integrated features such as the clamping jaw, mounting hole, and attachment interface, eliminating the need for separate screw clamps and multiple fastening components. This merging reduces structural complexity while maintaining secure attachment stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp body is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously performs clamping, mounting, and attachment functions. The single clamp body structure can be attached to various supporting surfaces and securely hold electrical facilities, replacing multiple specialized components with one universal clamping device.
2Reliability
If a conventional clamping device with multiple parts is used, then the attachment is secure, but the manufacturing procedure becomes complicated and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate parts (clamp body, screw clamp, fastening elements) into a single integrated clamp body structure. This reduces the number of manufacturing steps, eliminates the need for assembling multiple components, and simplifies the production process while maintaining secure attachment functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp body is designed with integrated segmentation of functions within a single structure, where different functional areas (clamping surface, mounting interface, attachment features) are incorporated into one monolithic component, reducing manufacturing complexity compared to assembling multiple separate parts.
3Reliability
If a conventional clamping device with many parts is used, then the attachment is stable, but the number of parts increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate parts into a single clamp body structure, reducing the total number of components from several parts (clamp, screw, fasteners, mounting elements) to one integrated component, thereby reducing the quantity of substances and materials required while maintaining attachment stability.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional clamping device is used, then the electrical facility can be attached to a supporting desk, but the attachment process is not quick and easy
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated clamp body structure combines all attachment functions into one component, allowing the electrical facility to be attached to the supporting desk in a single operation without multiple assembly steps, making the attachment process quick and easy while maintaining versatility.
