Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the terminal structure is integrated with the coil protecting cover, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidease of repair
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the terminal structure into separate modules: the terminal pin, the coil protecting cover, and the swelling part are distinct components that can be independently replaced. This segmentation allows the terminal pin to be replaced without removing the coil protecting cover, improving ease of repair while maintaining structural integrity through designed connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the swelling part is integrally formed with the coil protecting cover, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing precisionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The swelling part is separated from the coil protecting cover as an independent component. The coil protecting cover includes a swelling part receiving space that accommodates the swelling part, allowing the terminal pin to be accessed and replaced without disassembling the coil protecting cover, thus improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The swelling part is received within the swelling part receiving space of the coil protecting cover, creating a nested structure. This allows the swelling part to be positioned and secured within the cover while maintaining independent replaceability, balancing manufacturing precision with operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Strength

If the terminal pin and protrusion are supported together by the undercover and plastic member, then the structural strength is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal pin is extracted as a separate replaceable component from the integrated structure. The undercover and plastic member continue to provide support, but the terminal pin can now be independently removed and replaced without replacing the entire assembly, reducing device complexity and improving maintainability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Reliability

If the protrusion is covered by the swelling part, then the protection of the terminal function is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of terminal functionVSAvoiddifficulty of detecting malfunction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The swelling part is designed to be removable or accessible while maintaining protection during normal operation. This allows continuous protection of the terminal function during operation, while enabling easy access for inspection and diagnosis when needed, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire coil protecting cover.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
