Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If insulating layers are pressurized to fix electronic devices, then the devices are secured in position, but the devices move and rotate causing design deviations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing reliabilityVSAvoiddesign deviation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is applied to the insulating layer before the electronic devices are placed, creating a pre-prepared bonding surface. This preliminary action ensures that when devices are positioned and pressurized, they are immediately secured without movement or rotation, preventing design deviations while achieving reliable fixation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer acts as an intermediary substance between the insulating layer and the electronic devices. This mediator provides both the bonding strength needed for reliable fixation and the positional stability needed to prevent movement during pressurization, thereby resolving the contradiction between fixation reliability and manufacturing precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If electronic devices are embedded in insulating layers, then component mounting is achieved, but device movement and rotation occur during pressurization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent mountingVSAvoiddevice position stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is pre-applied to the insulating layer before device embedding, creating immediate bonding contact. This preliminary action ensures that during the manufacturing process and subsequent pressurization, devices remain stable in their embedded positions without movement or rotation, while maintaining ease of component mounting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer serves as an intermediary that enables easy device embedding while simultaneously providing positional stability. The adhesive properties allow devices to be mounted efficiently, and the bonded connection prevents movement during pressurization, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing ease and position stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
