Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional hidden mounting systems with upper retention elements and lower coupling supports are used, then the covering slab can be securely anchored to the supporting structure, but the mounting process requires laborious manual intervention and long installation times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure anchoringVSAvoidinstallation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into separate components: mounting elements with adjustment mechanisms that can be independently positioned and adjusted before securing the covering slab. This segmentation allows for faster assembly compared to traditional integrated hidden mounting systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting elements incorporate adjustment mechanisms that allow dynamic positioning during installation. The ability to adjust the position of mounting elements enables workers to quickly adapt to different slab positions without requiring complex manual alignment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If conventional mounting systems require adjustment of one covering slab at a time, then precise positioning can be achieved, but the execution time becomes excessively long

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidexecution time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Mounting elements are equipped with adjustment mechanisms that allow preliminary positioning and alignment before the covering slab is fully installed. This preliminary action enables multiple slabs to be positioned more efficiently without compromising precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanisms are designed to be self-aligning or self-adjusting, reducing the need for complex manual intervention. The mounting elements can be adjusted independently to achieve proper positioning, streamlining the installation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If traditional mounting systems are used, then the covering slab can be securely fixed, but the adjustment process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixationVSAvoidadjustment simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting elements incorporate adjustable components that allow simple repositioning during installation. The dynamic adjustment mechanisms enable workers to easily modify the position of mounting elements without complex procedures, while still achieving secure fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system allows for easy adjustment of positional parameters during installation. By changing the position of mounting elements through simple adjustment mechanisms, the system achieves both ease of operation and secure fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
