Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If different equipment connection devices are used for different installation environments, then the installation stability is improved, but the device versatility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The equipment connection device integrates both a buckle connection structure and a fastener mounting plate connection structure into a single device. The buckle can engage with buckles on the external connector, while the fastener mounting plate can accommodate various fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets) for different installation environments. This multi-functional design allows one device to serve multiple installation scenarios, improving versatility without compromising installation stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fastener mounting plate is mounted on an external connector, then the installation flexibility is improved, but the packaging volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the buckle and the fastener mounting plate into a single integrated equipment connection device. The fastener mounting plate is positioned on the same side as the buckle, and both connection structures are mounted on the equipment body simultaneously. This merging reduces the total number of separate components, decreases packaging volume, and maintains installation flexibility by allowing selection between buckle connection or fastener connection based on the installation environment.
