Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional liquid desiccant is applied to an electronic device, then moisture absorbing properties are obtained, but oil bleeding occurs into the device causing poor appearance and quality problems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture absorbing propertiesVSAvoidoil bleeding
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the liquid desiccant by incorporating specific additives (silicone oil, resin, or rubber) and controlling the ratio of moisture absorbable particles to binder. This parameter modification prevents oil bleeding while maintaining moisture absorption effectiveness, resolving the contradiction between reliability and harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite liquid desiccant system by combining moisture absorbable particles with a binder system that includes silicone oil, resin, or rubber. This composite structure prevents oil bleeding by forming a stable emulsion or suspension that maintains phase separation, thereby eliminating the harmful oil bleeding effect while preserving moisture absorption capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-generated harmful factors

If a powder or sheet moisture absorbable material is used, then oil bleeding is prevented, but application flexibility and ease of coating are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil bleeding preventionVSAvoidapplication flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the physical state parameter of the moisture absorbent from solid (powder/sheet) to liquid form while controlling composition parameters to prevent oil bleeding. The liquid formulation with specific viscosity and composition ratios enables flexible application to various surfaces while maintaining the benefit of no oil bleeding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If the viscosity of the liquid moisture absorbent is reduced for easier application, then coating uniformity deteriorates and oil bleeding increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication easeVSAvoidcoating uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the viscosity parameter to a specific range (10-300 Pas at 20°C) that balances application ease with coating uniformity. This controlled viscosity parameter, combined with composition parameters including particle size distribution and binder type, prevents both oil bleeding and coating defects, resolving the contradiction between operational ease and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
