Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If site mounting of LED display screen is performed with multiple persons coordination, then the display screen can be assembled, but labor cost and mounting time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting efficiencyVSAvoidmounting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple modular panels, each with integrated connecting members. This segmentation allows panels to be pre-assembled and tested separately, then quickly connected on-site using the automatic locking mechanism, significantly reducing on-site mounting time and labor requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting device incorporates an automatic locking mechanism where the movable part automatically engages with the fixed part when panels are brought together. The elastic part provides automatic resetting capability, allowing the connecting members to self-lock without manual intervention, thereby eliminating the need for multiple persons to coordinate during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If traditional connecting devices are used requiring manual driving, then connection can be established, but labor intensity and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection operationVSAvoidconnecting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting device is designed to automatically lock when panels are brought together. The movable part with elastic part self-activates to engage with the fixed part, eliminating the need for manual driving or complex adjustment operations. This self-service mechanism simplifies operation while maintaining a relatively simple device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic part acts as an intermediary element between the movable part and the fixed part. It stores and releases mechanical energy to facilitate automatic engagement and disengagement, simplifying the operation while maintaining a straightforward device structure without requiring complex actuation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If manual assembly operations are performed, then display screen can be mounted, but labor cost and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display screen into modular panels with integrated connecting members, the assembly process becomes standardized and repeatable. This reduces the skill level required for assembly operations and minimizes resource consumption through efficient use of connecting components that can be reused across multiple panels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The automatic locking mechanism performs the connection function without manual intervention, eliminating labor costs associated with manual assembly operations. The elastic part enables automatic resetting and reuse of connecting members, reducing resource consumption by allowing the same components to serve multiple connection cycles without degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
