Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the bodies of the plurality of prefabricated mobiles are connected to one another, then the space utilization is improved, but the complexity of assembly and disassembly increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidcomplexity of assembly and disassembly

Core Design Contradiction:

Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The panels are pre-designed with standardized connection interfaces and attachment mechanisms that simplify the assembly process. The connection structure is prepared in advance during manufacturing, allowing rapid assembly and disassembly without requiring complex procedures or specialized tools.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If the panels are connected in an orthogonal direction, then the structural stability is improved, but the flexibility of configuration decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidflexibility of configuration
