Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the plate frame is formed by welding frame and panel at multiple positions, then the shelf achieves structural connection, but the structural stability deteriorates and welding pollution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the welding operation from the manufacturing process and replaces it with a mechanical embedding connection. The panel is inserted into accommodating grooves of the frame members, eliminating the need for welding at multiple positions while maintaining structural integrity and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the welding mechanical system with a mechanical embedding system. Instead of using heat and pressure to join materials through welding, the invention uses physical insertion of the panel into grooves with extrusion, achieving connection through mechanical interlocking rather than thermal processing.
2Ease of manufacture
If welding is performed at multiple positions to connect frame and panel, then the shelf achieves structural assembly, but production time increases and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the time-consuming welding operations from the assembly process. The embedding connection allows the panel to be quickly inserted into the frame members without requiring prolonged welding operations, significantly reducing production time and improving manufacturing efficiency.
3Ease of manufacture
If welding is used to connect frame and panel, then the shelf achieves structural joining, but material waste increases and production cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes the material-intensive welding process with a mechanical embedding system that requires no additional consumable materials. The connection is achieved through the geometric design of the frame members with accommodating grooves, eliminating waste of welding rods, flux, and other welding consumables.
4Ease of manufacture
If welding is performed to connect plate frame components, then the shelf achieves structural integration, but sharp convex parts are created causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful sharp convex parts created by welding and replaces them with smooth embedding connections. The panel is inserted into grooves and extruded, creating a flush surface without protruding weld beads or sharp edges, thereby eliminating safety hazards while maintaining structural integration.
