Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If perfume pieces are placed in the ring body, then the ring can emit fragrance, but the fragrance is not long-lasting and the perfumes are not easily replaced
Solution Approach 1:
The ring is divided into separate functional components: a ring body, a removable container, and essential oil. The container can be detached from the ring body to allow easy replacement of essential oil, while the essential oil itself is segmented into refillable units. This segmentation enables both long-lasting fragrance (through sufficient essential oil capacity) and easy replacement (through removable container design).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state of the fragrance medium from conventional perfume pieces to liquid essential oil, which can be stored in a sealed container. This parameter change allows the fragrance to last longer due to the stable chemical composition of essential oil, and enables easy replacement by simply removing the container and refilling it with new essential oil.
2Ease of manufacture
If the ring shape and accessories are kept traditional, then the manufacturing process is mature, but the styling encounters a bottleneck and it is difficult to make a popular ring
Solution Approach 1:
The ring design incorporates multiple functions into a single product: it serves as traditional jewelry ornamentation while simultaneously functioning as a fragrance emitter. The container component can be removed and replaced, allowing the same ring body to work with different essential oils and jewel configurations, thus achieving styling versatility without compromising manufacturing simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The container is nested within the ring body structure, with the essential oil contained within the container. This nested arrangement allows the fragrance function to be integrated into the traditional ring design, maintaining the classic appearance while adding new functionality. The nested structure also simplifies manufacturing as the container can be inserted into a pre-formed ring body.
3Device complexity
If jewels are fixed on the ring body with traditional methods, then the structure is simple, but the jewel cannot be easily replaced or adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing member is designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing it to be easily inserted and removed. The fixing member includes a needle portion that can pass through the jewel and ring body, and a head portion that can be accessed from the outside to facilitate easy removal and reinstallation of jewels. This dynamic fixing mechanism maintains structural simplicity while enabling easy jewel replacement.
