Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate support member is used to dispose the conductive structure, then the electrical connection between electrode member and circuit board is achieved, but the assembly process becomes complex and difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the support member and conductive structure into a single integrated component. The conductive structure is formed as an integral part of the support member, eliminating the need for separate components and simplifying the assembly process while maintaining reliable electrical connection between the electrode member and circuit board.
2Reliability
If a separate support member is used for the conductive structure, then proper spacing and connection are achieved, but additional components and materials are required
Solution Approach 1:
The support member and conductive structure are combined into a single integrated component, reducing the quantity of parts needed. The conductive structure is formed as an integral part of the support member, eliminating the need for separate support members and reducing material usage while maintaining connection stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for connection, then functional requirements are met, but manufacturing and assembly costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support member and conductive structure are integrated into a single component, simplifying manufacturing processes and reducing assembly costs. The integrated design maintains all necessary functional requirements while reducing the number of manufacturing steps and assembly operations needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated support member serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support, establishes electrical connection, and maintains proper spacing. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components, lowering manufacturing and assembly costs while meeting all functional requirements.
