Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If no adjustment apparatus is configured, then the device structure is simple, but the range of applicability is small and wearing comfort varies among users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidrange of applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The device leg is designed with rotatable connection to the device host, allowing dynamic adjustment of the device leg's angle and position. This dynamic structure enables the head-mounted device to adapt to different head shapes and sizes, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and adaptability range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment apparatus changes the spatial parameters of the device leg relative to the device host by rotating the device leg around the connection axis. This parameter change allows the same simple structure to provide multiple wearing configurations, expanding the range of applicability without increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual knob adjustment is used, then the device can be adjusted, but the adjustment precision is poor and the adjusting process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidadjusting process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The manual knob adjustment mechanism is replaced with an automatic adjustment apparatus that uses a motor-driven rotating mechanism. This substitution eliminates the need for manual operation, simplifies the adjusting process, and provides more precise adjustment control through automated motorized movement of the device leg.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment apparatus enables the device to adjust itself automatically without requiring user intervention. The system can autonomously rotate the device leg to the appropriate position, making the adjustment process simple and quick, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If elastic strap or elastic deformation is used for fixation, then the device can be fixedly worn, but the range of applicability is small and pressure perception varies among users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation stabilityVSAvoidrange of applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of relying on elastic deformation for fixation, the device uses a dynamic rotatable connection between the device host and device leg. This allows precise adjustment of the device leg's position and angle, providing stable fixation through geometric constraint rather than elastic force, thereby expanding adaptability to different head shapes while maintaining fixation reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The fixation mechanism changes from elastic parameter (deformation amount) to geometric parameter (rotation angle and position). By controlling the spatial parameters of the device leg through rotation, the system achieves reliable fixation without relying on elastic materials, allowing adaptation to various users with different head characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
