Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple driving structures are used to drive different components, then the working performance is improved, but the weight of the device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking performanceVSAvoidweight of driving structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple driving functions into a single driving structure. The driving device includes a driving component that can drive both the first swinging assembly and the second swinging assembly through a shared transmission mechanism, thereby reducing the total number of driving structures and the overall weight while maintaining the ability to perform multiple driving functions simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single driving structure is designed with multi-functionality to perform multiple driving tasks. The driving component can selectively or simultaneously drive different assemblies (first swinging assembly with first moving block, second swinging assembly with second moving block) through appropriate transmission paths, allowing one driving structure to replace what would traditionally require multiple separate driving mechanisms

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

2Productivity

If multiple driving structures are used to drive different components, then the working performance is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking performanceVSAvoidcomplexity of driving structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple driving transmission paths into a single integrated driving structure. The driving component connects to both the first swinging assembly and the second swinging assembly through a unified transmission mechanism, reducing the number of separate transmission systems and simplifying the overall device architecture while maintaining multi-functional capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The driving structure is segmented into functional modules (driving component, first swinging assembly, second swinging assembly) that can be independently designed and assembled. This modular segmentation allows for easier manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance while reducing overall complexity compared to a monolithic multi-driving structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
