Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a handheld structure is used for the sperm extractor, then the device is easy to operate, but it is prone to falling damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidresistance to falling damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by implementing folding handles that can transition between extended and retracted positions. The handles are designed to fold against the housing body, dynamically changing the device's profile from extended to compact. This allows the device to maintain ease of operation when handles are extended while providing protection against falling damage when folded during storage or transport.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs protective cover structures that can flexibly cover the handles when folded. These protective covers or shells are designed to wrap around or over the folding handles, providing a protective layer that prevents damage during falls or impacts while maintaining the flexibility needed for the folding mechanism to operate smoothly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Reliability

If the handles are made foldable to prevent falling damage, then the device becomes more protective, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against falling damageVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the handle structure into multiple segments or sections that can fold relative to each other. The handles are segmented into sections connected by joints or hinges, allowing each segment to move independently. This segmentation enables the folding function while distributing the mechanical complexity across multiple simple joints rather than requiring a single complex mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements the nesting principle by designing the folding handles to collapse or nest against the housing body when folded. The handle segments are arranged to fit within or alongside the housing structure when in the retracted position, maximizing space efficiency and minimizing the overall device footprint while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
