Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If external screen technology is used to provide larger display, then display area is improved, but portability deteriorates due to bulky equipment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The screen display device is nested within the power supply device housing, with the screen positioned in a receiving space inside the power supply device. This allows the display functionality to be integrated into a compact form factor that can be easily carried, resolving the contradiction between large display area and portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Area of moving object

If conventional auxiliary screen equipment is used, then display capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to external power supply requirement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay capabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply device contains an internal power supply unit that provides working power to the screen display device without requiring external power sources. This self-powered design eliminates the need for external power connections, significantly improving ease of operation and portability while maintaining display capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If screen display device is integrated with power supply device, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screen display device and power supply device are merged into a single integrated unit, where the screen is positioned within the power supply device housing. This combination simplifies the overall system by eliminating separate power sources and connections, reducing device complexity while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
