Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed connection structure is used between earphone housing and earmuff, then the structure is simple and stable, but the angular adjusting capability is limited and the fit with user's ears is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangular adjusting capabilityVSAvoidconnection structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the fixed connection structure with a universal adjuster that enables dynamic angular adjustment. The universal adjuster allows the earmuff to be adjusted to different angles relative to the earphone housing, transforming the static connection into a dynamic one that adapts to different user needs and ear positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the parameter changes principle by modifying the angular parameter of the connection between earphone housing and earmuff. The universal adjuster enables the connection angle to be changed within a range, allowing the earmuff to be positioned at different angles to achieve optimal fit with the user's ears.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If limited angular adjusting is provided in a certain direction, then the structure is relatively simple, but the fit with user's ears is not ideal and wearing comfort is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewearing comfortVSAvoidadjusting range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the universality principle by designing a universal adjuster that provides multi-directional adjusting capability. The universal adjuster is not limited to a single direction of adjustment but can accommodate adjustments in multiple directions, making the headset adaptable to various user preferences and ear positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies the dimensionality change principle by expanding the adjusting capability from one-dimensional (single direction) to multi-dimensional (multiple directions). The universal adjuster enables angular adjustment in various directions, adding dimensional freedom to the positioning of the earmuff relative to the earphone housing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
