Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If electronic components are arranged in one side of the frame, then the glasses-type terminal can be manufactured, but weight imbalance occurs between left and right sides
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into left and right sides, with electronic components distributed on both sides rather than concentrated on one side. This segmentation balances the weight distribution while maintaining manufacturability through modular component placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs asymmetric rail connection structures on left and right sides of the frame, allowing different component arrangements that achieve weight balance while accommodating manufacturing requirements. The rail connections enable flexible positioning of electronic components to optimize weight distribution.
2Ease of manufacture
If the frame size is fixed, then manufacturing is simplified, but the glasses-type terminal cannot fit different user head shapes
Solution Approach 1:
The frame incorporates adjustable elements that allow dynamic modification of frame size and shape to accommodate different user head shapes. The rail connection system enables the frame to be adjusted between multiple size configurations, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to various users while maintaining standardized manufacturing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is designed with universal adjustment capabilities through the rail connection system, allowing a single frame design to serve multiple functions across different user populations. The adjustable mechanism enables one frame to fit various head shapes and sizes, eliminating the need for multiple frame sizes while maintaining ease of manufacture.
3Weight of moving object
If a small-sized battery is used, then the glasses-type terminal remains lightweight, but the battery requires frequent charging
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply unit is extracted as a separate, removable component from the main frame structure. This allows the battery to be independently optimized for capacity without increasing overall device weight, as the battery can be replaced or upgraded without affecting other components. The separation enables using a larger capacity battery while maintaining lightweight characteristics through selective component placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes in the power supply system by using a removable battery design that allows optimization of battery capacity parameters. The rail connection system enables flexible positioning of the power supply unit to balance weight distribution even when using a higher capacity battery, thus extending battery life without compromising weight balance.
4Ease of manufacture
If the display unit position is fixed, then manufacturing is easier, but user convenience for image focusing is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is mounted on the adjustable frame structure, inheriting the frame's dynamic adjustment capabilities. This allows the display position to be modified to accommodate different user preferences and head shapes, improving image focusing convenience while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing through standardized mounting interfaces on the rail connection system.
