Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a separate substrate layer is inserted between two adhesive layers with different properties, then layer separation is prevented, but the adhesive tape becomes hard and has poor adhesion to bonding surfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelayer separation preventionVSAvoidadhesion to bonding surface
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a primer coating layer as an intermediary substance between the first and second adhesive layers. This primer layer serves as a mediator that prevents layer separation while maintaining the softness and adhesion properties of the tape, avoiding the need for a separate substrate layer that would compromise flexibility and bonding performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If a separate substrate layer is inserted between adhesive layers, then layer separation is prevented, but repulsion resistance to bent portions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelayer separation preventionVSAvoidrepulsion resistance to bent portion
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The primer coating layer acts as a flexible intermediary that prevents layer separation without compromising the tape's ability to conform to bent surfaces. Unlike a rigid substrate layer, the primer maintains the softness and flexibility needed for excellent repulsion resistance at bent portions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If non-substrate adhesive tape is used without a substrate, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but high-temperature shearing properties deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process complexityVSAvoidhigh-temperature shearing properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The primer coating layer serves as a critical intermediary that enables non-substrate adhesive tape to achieve both simplified manufacturing and improved high-temperature shearing properties. This layer provides the necessary structural integrity and thermal stability without requiring a separate substrate, thus maintaining manufacturing simplicity while enhancing reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
