Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an injection molded part is added to house the antenna, then the antenna can be reliably mounted, but the manufacturing cost increases and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the antenna from the traditional injection molded housing and mounts it directly on the PCB board. This eliminates the need for separate injection molded parts and complex assembly steps, thereby improving production efficiency while maintaining reliable antenna mounting through direct soldering connections.
2Reliability
If an injection molded part is added to house the antenna, then the antenna can be reliably mounted, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the antenna mounting function directly into the PCB board structure. The antenna is soldered directly to the PCB, combining the mounting and electrical connection functions into a single integrated solution, which eliminates the need for additional injection molded parts and reduces manufacturing cost.
3Reliability
If precise antenna positioning is required in injection molded parts, then antenna performance is optimized, but assembly precision requirements increase production complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical mounting system (injection molded parts with precise positioning features) with an electrical connection system (soldering). The antenna is electrically connected to the PCB through solder joints, which provides both mechanical support and electrical connectivity, thereby reducing assembly precision requirements while maintaining antenna performance.
