Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional wire connections are used to connect the internet phone and expansion module, then signal transmission can be achieved, but electromagnetic interference is generated and the connection is unstable due to external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical wire connection system with a direct board-to-board electrical connection system using multiple-layer connecting cards. This substitution eliminates the physical wire that causes electromagnetic interference and connection instability, achieving both reduced EMI and improved connection reliability through integrated circuit board coupling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where the circuit board is embedded within multiple-layer connecting cards that integrate multiple connection layers. This nesting approach allows multiple connection functions to be combined in a compact structure, eliminating the need for separate wires while reducing electromagnetic interference and improving connection stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Productivity

If traditional wire connections are used, then signal transmission can be achieved, but space is occupied by the exposed wire

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidspace occupied by wire
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces space-consuming physical wires with compact board-to-board electrical connections through multiple-layer connecting cards. This substitution dramatically reduces the volume occupied by connection components, improving space utilization while maintaining signal transmission functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from three-dimensional wire routing to a two-dimensional board-to-board connection approach using multiple-layer connecting cards. This dimensional change allows connections to be made within the plane of the circuit boards, significantly reducing the space required for wire management and improving overall space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If wire connections are used, then connection can be established, but the wire is easily removed by external force causing unstable connection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidresistance to external force
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the weak mechanical wire connection with a robust board-to-board electrical connection system. The rigid circuit board structure provides inherent mechanical strength that resists external forces, eliminating the vulnerability of flexible wires to accidental disconnection while maintaining electrical connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the connection function with the structural body of the device by integrating multiple-layer connecting cards directly into the circuit board assembly. This merging eliminates the separate wire component that is vulnerable to external forces, creating a unified structure where the connection is as strong as the device housing itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
