Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If electronic display boards are placed separately or back-to-back, then stability is improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Two electronic display boards are merged into a single stable structure through magnetic attraction, allowing them to connect and support each other without external brackets or additional support structures. The magnetic connection enables the boards to function as a unified stable unit while maintaining ease of separation when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic display boards utilize their own magnetic attraction structures to provide mutual support and stability, eliminating the need for external brackets, stands, or additional support mechanisms. The system is self-sufficient, using the boards' inherent magnetic properties to achieve stable placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Stability of the object's composition

If electronic display boards are connected with brackets, then stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Traditional mechanical connection systems (brackets, screws, clips) are replaced with a magnetic attraction system. This substitution allows for effortless connection and separation of electronic display boards through simple proximity-based magnetic attraction, eliminating the need for tools or complex assembly procedures while maintaining stable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate display units are used, then adaptability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic attraction structure enables electronic display boards to serve multiple functions: they can operate independently as separate units or connect to form a unified stable structure. This multi-functionality allows the same hardware resources to adapt to different display configurations and scenarios, reducing the need for additional specialized components or structures.

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