Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional support bases are used to provide oscillation, then user comfort is improved, but structural complexity and assembly difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support base is divided into distinct modular components: a support body with a central passage, multiple flexible components arranged circumferentially, and a coupling body. Each component has a specific function and can be manufactured separately, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining oscillation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs flexible components made of elastic material that can deform and return to their original shape. These flexible components are arranged circumferentially around the central passage and engage with the coupling body to enable oscillation movement, providing comfort without complex mechanical structures.
2Ease of operation
If traditional support bases are used to provide oscillation, then user comfort is improved, but assembly difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support base is divided into distinct modular components: a support body with a central passage, multiple flexible components arranged circumferentially, and a coupling body. Each component has a specific function and can be manufactured separately, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining oscillation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible components are arranged circumferentially around the central passage of the support body and are contained within the coupling body. This nested arrangement allows compact assembly where smaller components fit within or around larger structural elements, simplifying the overall assembly process.
3Ease of operation
If flexible components are arranged circumferentially around the piston rod, then oscillation comfort is enhanced, but structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible components made of elastic material that can deform and return to their original shape. These flexible components are arranged circumferentially around the central passage and engage with the coupling body to enable oscillation movement, providing comfort without complex mechanical structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible components serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide oscillation movement, absorb shocks, and enhance user comfort. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby reducing overall structural complexity despite the circumferential arrangement.
