Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a flexible power line and flexible data line are used for connection between adjacent display units, then the wiring is simplified, but the plug is prone to deflection and difficult to be plugged into the socket
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic elements including a movable conductive member that can transition between retracted and extended positions, and elastic members that provide flexible restoring forces. These dynamic components allow the plug to accommodate deflection while maintaining reliable connection, resolving the contradiction between simplified wiring and connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the state parameters of the conductive member from static to movable, and introduces elastic members that can change their force output based on deformation. This allows the connection mechanism to adapt to varying conditions during plugging operations, maintaining reliability while keeping wiring simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the plug is made flexible to allow movement, then it can accommodate assembly variations, but it becomes prone to deflection and loose connection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action through elastic members that pre-load the conductive member with a restoring force. This preliminary force counteracts potential deflection before it occurs, allowing the plug to be flexible during assembly while maintaining stability during connection. The elastic members continuously apply counter-forces to prevent loose connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive member is preliminarily positioned in a retracted state within the plug body, and the elastic members are pre-loaded to provide restoring force. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the plug is inserted, the conductive member is already in the correct position and the elastic forces are ready to maintain stability, combining adaptability with stability.
