Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If display modules are permanently fixed to the support frame, then structural stability is improved, but ease of maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge module is divided into separable components: a first body part attached to the display module and a second body part attached to the support frame, connected through rotatable insertion parts. This segmentation allows the display module to be detached from the support frame for maintenance while maintaining structural stability during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge module employs rotatable insertion parts that can pivot between connected and disconnected positions. This dynamic mechanism enables the connection state to change from fixed to movable, facilitating easy removal of display modules for maintenance while providing stable structural support during normal use.
2Ease of repair
If display modules are made easily removable, then ease of maintenance is improved, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The insertion parts feature curved outer surfaces that engage with corresponding grooves in the hinge module bodies. This curved geometry provides smooth rotational movement while maintaining consistent contact and structural stability throughout the connection and disconnection cycle.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge module combines multiple functions into a single integrated component: mechanical connection, rotational movement, and structural support. This merging ensures that ease of removal does not compromise structural stability, as all these functions work together within the unified hinge assembly.
3Ease of manufacture
If multiple display modules are assembled with large spacing, then ease of assembly is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge module serves multiple purposes: it acts as a connection joint, a rotational mechanism, and a positioning element. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components for each function, thereby simplifying the overall device structure while facilitating easy assembly of multiple display modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The complex rotational and positioning functions are extracted into the dedicated hinge module, separating these functions from the main display module and support frame structures. This extraction simplifies the overall assembly process while maintaining the necessary complexity only where needed in the hinge mechanism.
