Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fixing methods (welding, winding, or clamping) are used to connect copper wires and electronic components, then the circuit loop can be kept on, but the operation becomes troublesome and easy to loosen, causing poor contact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontact reliabilityVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the circuit board into modular functional blocks (power supply block, signal processing block, etc.), each with independent connection terminals. This segmentation allows components to be connected through simple terminal contacts rather than complex welding or winding operations, improving both reliability and ease of assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces connection terminals as intermediary elements between copper wires and electronic components. These terminals serve as mediators that provide reliable electrical contact without requiring direct welding or winding, thus improving contact reliability while simplifying the assembly operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If electronic components are fixed in place, then the circuit loop remains stable, but the components cannot be arbitrarily replaced to enhance the fun of assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit stabilityVSAvoidcomponent replaceability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board is divided into modular functional blocks with standardized connection terminals. This segmentation enables individual components or even entire functional blocks to be easily replaced by disconnecting and reconnecting terminal contacts, maintaining circuit stability while enhancing adaptability and assembly fun.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection system transitions from fixed permanent connections to dynamic removable connections through terminal contacts. This allows the circuit to maintain stability during operation while enabling easy replacement of components, balancing circuit reliability with component adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a complete circuit board with various accessories is provided, then the circuit functionality is complete, but the occupied space increases and manufacturing cost becomes high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complete circuit system is segmented into independent functional blocks (power supply, signal processing, load adaptive devices) that can be separately manufactured and assembled. This reduces the complexity of manufacturing an entire circuit board at once while maintaining complete circuit functionality through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates universal connection terminals and standardized interfaces that can be used across different functional blocks and circuit configurations. This universality reduces the need for custom-designed circuit boards for each application, decreasing overall system complexity and manufacturing cost while maintaining full functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
