Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If recesses are arranged in the base to receive sensing plates, then the motor can be started easily through sensing plates, but the base has smaller thickness where recesses are arranged, affecting the overall structural strength of the base

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeasy startingVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing plates are nested within recesses of the base, with positioning posts integrated into the base structure to hold the sensing plates securely. This nesting arrangement allows the sensing plates to be received within the base without requiring external mounting structures, maintaining compact design while ensuring proper positioning for easy motor starting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The base is constructed using composite material comprising a plastic member and a metallic induction member wrapped with the plastic member by way of molding. The metallic induction member provides enhanced structural strength and electromagnetic shielding, while the plastic member provides structural support and housing for the recesses and positioning posts, thereby maintaining both ease of operation and structural strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If positioning posts are mounted on the base to securely mount the printed circuit board and firmly press sensing plates, then the sensing plates are prevented from disengaging, but the positioning posts are liable to crack or break after long duration of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixingVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The base uses composite material with a metallic induction member wrapped with a plastic member by way of molding. This composite structure distributes mechanical stresses more evenly across the base, reducing stress concentration on the positioning posts and thereby extending their service life while maintaining secure fixing of the printed circuit board and sensing plates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning posts are optimized in terms of material composition, geometric dimensions, and structural configuration. These parameter changes enhance the posts' resistance to cracking and breaking over time, thereby extending their durability while maintaining their function of securely mounting the printed circuit board and firmly pressing the sensing plates.

Inventive Principle:

3Ease of manufacture

If the base is made of plastic material in injection molding, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the base is not able to provide an electromagnetic shielding effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The base is constructed using composite material comprising a plastic member and a metallic induction member wrapped with the plastic member by way of molding. The metallic induction member provides effective electromagnetic shielding to block electromagnetic fields, while the plastic member maintains manufacturing simplicity through injection molding. This composite structure simultaneously achieves ease of manufacture and electromagnetic shielding capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The metallic induction member acts as an intermediary layer between the plastic base and the electromagnetic environment. It mediates the electromagnetic field by providing shielding while allowing the plastic member to maintain its manufacturing advantages. The wrapped structure ensures close contact between the metallic induction member and the plastic member, maximizing shielding effectiveness without complicating the manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
