Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If vibration eliminating material is disposed around periphery of motor base, then vibration elimination effect is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases and assembly process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration elimination effectVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration eliminating structure is merged with the motor base to form an integral one-piece structure. The connecting elements are embedded within the motor base body, eliminating the need for separate assembly steps and reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining effective vibration elimination throughout the motor base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The motor base employs composite material construction with connecting elements made of vibration-damping materials integrated within the motor base structure. This composite approach allows the motor base to simultaneously provide structural support and vibration elimination functions through a unified manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If vibration eliminating material is disposed around periphery of motor base, then vibration elimination effect is improved, but additional assembly time and effort are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration elimination effectVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration eliminating connecting elements are pre-integrated into the motor base structure during the manufacturing process itself. This preliminary incorporation eliminates the need for subsequent assembly operations, reducing assembly time and effort while ensuring the vibration elimination functionality is built-in from the start.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The manufacturing process for the motor base is merged with the integration of vibration eliminating elements, creating a single-step production process that eliminates separate assembly operations and reduces overall manufacturing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional vibration eliminating material is used around periphery, then some vibration reduction is achieved, but vibration is still transferred within motor base structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise reductionVSAvoidvibration elimination effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The motor base implements local quality enhancement by placing vibration-damping connecting elements at critical internal locations where vibration transfer occurs. These elements are strategically positioned within the motor base structure to target specific vibration pathways, providing effective vibration elimination throughout the entire structure rather than just at the periphery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration elimination effectiveness is improved by changing the structural parameters of the motor base through the addition of connecting elements with optimized damping properties. These elements modify the vibration transmission characteristics of the motor base, reducing vibration transfer across the structure while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
