Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional packaging materials are used, then manufacturing cost and ease of production are improved, but ecological sustainability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovemanufacturabilityVSAvoidecological impact

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from traditional plastic to paper-based material, transforming the packaging device into a biodegradable and recyclable form while maintaining structural integrity and manufacturing feasibility through adapted production processes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging device utilizes composite paper structures with multiple layers and configurations to achieve both ecological sustainability and functional requirements, combining different paper materials to provide protection, rigidity, and ease of manufacture simultaneously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If simple packaging design is used, then manufacturing cost is improved, but protection of brush product deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveproduction costVSAvoidproduct protection

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging device is divided into multiple functional sections including a base body, a lid, and an insert, each serving specific protection functions while maintaining simple individual manufacturing processes and overall cost-effectiveness

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The insert is nested within the base body to provide additional protection for the brush product, creating a multi-layered protection system that enhances reliability without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If paper material is used, then ecological sustainability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveecological sustainabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The paper packaging components are pre-formed and pre-assembled in a controlled manner before final product integration, simplifying the overall manufacturing process while maintaining ecological sustainability through paper material usage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
