Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the HMD device is designed to accommodate electronic devices of various sizes and shapes, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to needing multiple form factors
Solution Approach 1:
The front case is designed with a universal mounting structure that can accommodate electronic devices of various sizes and shapes through a single form factor. The connector holder and fixing holder are configured to adapt to different device dimensions without requiring multiple specialized housings, thereby achieving multi-functionality while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector holder and fixing holder are designed to be horizontally movable within the front case, allowing dynamic adjustment to accommodate different electronic device sizes and shapes. This movability enables a single static housing to adapt dynamically to various device configurations, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the connector holder and fixing holder are made horizontally movable to accommodate various devices, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability may worsen due to potential connection instability
Solution Approach 1:
The connector holder and fixing holder are designed with horizontal movability to facilitate easy insertion and removal of electronic devices. This dynamic capability allows users to operate the device without complex assembly or disassembly procedures, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining connection integrity through the seated configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure is designed as a disposable or replaceable front case assembly rather than a permanent integrated structure. This allows the entire front case with its movable holders to be replaced if connection reliability degrades, providing a cost-effective solution that maintains high reliability without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms.
