Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If screwing method is used to assemble keyboard parts, then connection strength is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to poor screwing, stripping, and short circuit caused by loosening screws
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical screwing system with a chemical bonding system using bonding colloid. The bonding colloid is applied to connect the keyboard frame and baseplate, eliminating screws entirely. This substitution resolves the reliability issues caused by screw loosening, stripping, and potential short circuits while maintaining connection strength through adhesive bonding.
Solution Approach 2:
The bonding colloid acts as an intermediary substance between the keyboard frame and baseplate. Instead of direct mechanical fastening with screws, the bonding colloid mediates the connection by forming an adhesive bond across the interface, thereby eliminating the harmful effects of metal screws while achieving reliable structural connection.
2Strength
If screwing method is used to assemble keyboard parts, then connection strength is improved, but device complexity increases due to requiring precise operated assembling tools with well trained personnel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the complex mechanical screwing operation requiring precision tools and trained personnel with a simpler chemical bonding process. The bonding colloid can be applied using basic dispensing equipment or even manual application, dramatically reducing the complexity of the assembling process while maintaining connection strength through adhesive bonding.
Solution Approach 2:
The bonding colloid performs the fastening function automatically through its adhesive properties, eliminating the need for complex tool operations. The material itself provides the connecting function without requiring external mechanical intervention, thereby simplifying the assembly process and reducing dependency on skilled operators and precision tools.
3Reliability
If bonding colloid is used to connect keyboard parts, then reliability is improved by avoiding screwing problems, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs preliminary positioning features such as positioning protrusions and positioning grooves that are pre-formed on the keyboard frame and baseplate respectively. These features establish precise alignment before the bonding colloid is applied, ensuring that the bonding surfaces are correctly positioned. This preliminary action eliminates the need for high-precision hole alignment during the bonding process itself, as the positioning features guide the components into proper alignment automatically.
