Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If glue adhesion or bolts and screws are used for plate connection, then the connection is strong and reliable, but the dismounting and remounting process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidease of dismounting and remounting
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting device is divided into multiple separable components: connecting pieces with mounting holes, connecting blocks with positioning structures, and connecting rods. This segmentation allows the device to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining connection reliability through precise positioning features and secure fastening mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If an integrated structure is used for plate connection, then the structural integrity is high, but the transportation and storage becomes difficult and space-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidtransportation and storage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting device is divided into multiple separable components: connecting pieces, connecting blocks, and connecting rods that can be stored separately. When needed, these components are assembled on-site to form the complete connection structure, reducing storage space requirements while maintaining structural integrity during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting components are designed to nest within each other when disassembled. Connecting rods can be stored within connecting blocks, and connecting pieces can be nested within each other, minimizing the overall volume required for transportation and storage while ensuring structural integrity when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If traditional mounting methods are used, then the connection is secure, but the manpower and material resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection securityVSAvoidmounting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting device uses pre-fabricated modular components with standardized connection interfaces. This segmentation allows for rapid assembly using simple fastening operations rather than time-consuming traditional mounting methods, reducing both manpower consumption and mounting time while maintaining secure connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting pieces, blocks, and rods are pre-manufactured with precise positioning features and connection interfaces. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for on-site measurement and customization, allowing workers to simply assemble the pre-prepared components, thereby significantly improving mounting efficiency while ensuring connection security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Ease of manufacture

If once-moulding is used for plate connection, then the manufacturing is simple, but the flexibility for dismounting and reconfiguration is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidflexibility for dismounting and reconfiguration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

Rather than creating a single monolithic molded structure, the connecting device uses multiple separate components that are individually manufactured using simple processes. These modular segments can be easily assembled and disassembled, providing flexibility for reconfiguration while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized component production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
