Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a common transfer trolley with single transportation function is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the hub type mass block may slip off during transportation compromising safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation safetyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transfer trolley is divided into multiple functional modules: a bearing unit for transportation, correction parts for alignment, guide parts for positioning, and a limiting unit with locking parts for securing the mass block. Each module performs a specific function, collectively ensuring safe transportation while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transfer trolley is designed as a multi-functional device that not only transports the hub type mass block but also simultaneously performs correction, guidance, and limiting functions. This integrates multiple operations into a single device, improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

2Reliability

If no limiting and fixing measures are provided, then the ease of operation is improved, but the hub type mass block may accidentally fall causing damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety of mass blockVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The limiting unit with locking parts is pre-configured on the transfer trolley to automatically engage with the hub type mass block during the loading process. This preliminary arrangement of limiting measures ensures safety without requiring additional manual intervention during operation, maintaining ease of use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The locking parts and limiting parts are designed to automatically secure the hub type mass block during transportation without requiring external assistance. The device self-regulates to prevent accidental falls, ensuring safety while keeping the operation simple and convenient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
