Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If lifting equipment and a flat plate are used to build an inclining test platform, then the test can be performed, but the test efficiency is low and manual measurement errors occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle measurement accuracyVSAvoidtest efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical lifting equipment and manual angle gauge measurement system with an electrically-driven adjusting unit. The adjusting unit uses a motor to drive a screw mechanism that precisely controls the workbench inclination angle, while an angle sensor automatically detects and feeds back the angle information, eliminating manual measurement operations and improving both accuracy and efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The adjusting unit incorporates an angle sensor that automatically detects the workbench inclination angle and provides feedback to the control system. This self-measuring capability eliminates the need for external angle gauges and manual measurement, allowing the system to autonomously achieve precise angle control and measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of manufacture

If lifting equipment and a flat plate are used to build an inclining test platform, then the test can be performed, but it is manpower and material resource consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform construction simplicityVSAvoidmaterial resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functions of the flat plate support structure with the adjusting unit into an integrated system. The adjusting unit is directly mounted on the workbench, which itself serves as the testing platform, eliminating the need for separate lifting equipment and external angle gauges. This consolidation reduces both material consumption and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The workbench serves multiple functions: it supports the display device being tested, provides the inclined surface for testing, and integrates the adjusting unit that controls the inclination angle. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate lifting equipment and angle measurement instruments, reducing material resource consumption while simplifying the overall structure.

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

3Measurement precision

If an angle gauge and other instruments are used to measure an angle of inclination, then the angle can be measured, but errors of manual measurement are inevitably caused

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement instrument complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual angle gauge measurement with an automated sensing system. An angle sensor (such as a potentiometer, encoder, or other angular position sensor) is integrated into the adjusting unit to automatically detect the workbench inclination angle, eliminating manual measurement operations and the associated human errors while reducing the complexity of external measurement instruments.

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