Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If motors without housings are used to improve output power, then the output power of the servo is improved, but the assembly operation becomes more complicated and production capacity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput powerVSAvoidproduction capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The servo case is divided into multiple modular segments (first case body, second case body, third case body) that can be assembled in different configurations. This segmentation allows for standardized modular assembly processes that improve production capacity while accommodating high-power motor designs without housings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular case segments are designed with universal connecting portions that can accommodate different motor types (with or without housings) and various component arrangements. This universality simplifies the assembly operation across different servo configurations while maintaining the ability to support high-output-power designs.

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

2Power

If motors without housings are used to improve output power, then the output power of the servo is improved, but the disassembly operation becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput powerVSAvoiddisassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The segmented case design with standardized connecting portions enables easy disassembly by simply separating the modular segments, facilitating maintenance and repair operations while supporting high-power motor configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting portions are pre-designed with engagement features that simplify both assembly and disassembly operations. The modular structure is prepared in advance with standardized interfaces, making it easy to disassemble and reassemble during maintenance while accommodating high-output-power motor designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Power

If components are assembled separately during servo assembly, then the output power can be improved, but the whole assembly operation becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput powerVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The case is segmented into modular units with standardized interfaces, allowing components to be assembled separately and then integrated systematically. This reduces overall assembly complexity while supporting high-power configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular case segments with universal connecting portions can accommodate various components (motors with or without housings, gear sets, etc.) in different arrangements, simplifying the assembly operation while enabling high-output-power designs.

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

AI summary

A modularized servo case includes a hollow first barrel and a hollow second barrel, each of which has a lower opening at a bottom end thereof. The first barrel and the second barrel have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on outer surfaces thereof, respectively. The first and second barrels can be combined together by engagement between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In this way, the different inner components required for the first and second barrels can be separately installed beforehand by modularization, and then the first and second barrels can be assembled. Therefore, the assembly is preferably convenient and the inner components can be assembled simultaneously, thus enhancing the whole production capacity and efficiency and facilitating the disassembly procedure in the later repair and maintenance operation.
