Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible power line and flexible data line are used for connection between adjacent display units, then the wiring becomes complicated, but the connection flexibility is improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the power line connection and data line connection into a single integrated plugging mechanism. The plug includes both power conductive members and data conductive members that are connected simultaneously when the plug is inserted into the socket, eliminating the need for separate wiring operations and reducing overall wiring complexity while maintaining connection flexibility
2Ease of operation
If a plugging mechanism with socket and plug is used to simplify wiring, then the wiring operation becomes simpler, but the plug becomes prone to deflection and loose connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by using reset members (springs) that continuously apply a restoring force to the driving members and conductive members. This pre-applied counteracting force prevents the plug from becoming loose or deflecting during operation, ensuring the conductive members remain firmly engaged with the socket contacts throughout the connection lifecycle
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates movable driving members that can dynamically adjust their position. The driving members are capable of moving between different positions (first position for connection, second position for disconnection) and are equipped with reset members that provide automatic return functionality. This dynamic design allows the plug to adapt to assembly tolerances and prevent deflection while maintaining reliable connection
3Reliability
If the plug structure is made rigid to prevent deflection, then the connection stability improves, but the ease of plugging operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses movable driving members that can dynamically transition between positions. The driving members are designed to move easily during the plugging operation (from retracted position to extended position for connection) and are equipped with reset members that provide automatic return. This dynamic design maintains plugging convenience while ensuring connection stability through the reset force
