Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional screw assembly is used for money box body structure, then structural stability is achieved, but assembly process becomes cumbersome and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The money box body is divided into multiple separate plates (front plate, back plate, left plate, right plate, bottom plate) that can be independently manufactured and then assembled together through插槽 and clamping structures, enabling modular production and simplifying the assembly process
Solution Approach 2:
The screw fastening mechanism is extracted and replaced with integrated插槽 (slots) and tongues that are built into the plate structures themselves, eliminating the need for separate screw fasteners and simplifying both the assembly process and overall structure
2Reliability
If multiple screws are used for assembly, then structural stability is ensured, but packaging size increases and transportation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping protrusions and clamping holes are integrated directly into the plate structures themselves, merging the fastening function into the structural components. This eliminates separate fasteners and allows for more compact packaging and transportation
Solution Approach 2:
The disassembled plates can be nested or stacked within each other during storage and transportation, with the clamping structures designed to fit together efficiently, minimizing the overall volume required for packaging
3Strength
If traditional assembly with screws is used, then connection strength is achieved, but manufacturing time and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The插槽 and tongue structures are designed to self-align and self-clamp during assembly. The clamping protrusions automatically engage with the clamping holes when the plates are inserted into each other, eliminating the need for manual screw tightening and enabling quick, tool-free assembly
Solution Approach 2:
The插槽 and clamping structures are pre-formed as integral parts of each plate during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation of the connection interfaces allows for rapid assembly without requiring additional fastening operations
