Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If simple supporting structure is used, then device complexity is reduced, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting structure is divided into multiple independent supporting rods (first supporting rod, second supporting rod, third supporting rod) that intersect and connect to form a stable framework. This segmentation allows each rod to bear specific loads while maintaining overall structural stability without requiring an overly complex integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite construction by combining multiple supporting rods with different spatial orientations and connection methods (welding, intersecting connections) to create a composite supporting framework that achieves high structural stability through the synergistic arrangement of simpler individual elements.
2Ease of manufacture
If simple connection method is used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple connection methods into a unified connection system: supporting rods are both intersecting-connected (providing geometric stability) and welded (providing permanent rigid connection). This merging of connection approaches ensures high reliability while maintaining manufacturability through standardized welding procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
Anti-collision slots are pre-defined at the first end of the supporting main shaft before final assembly. This preliminary preparation of connection features simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing pre-assembly and quality control of individual components, while ensuring reliable connections through precisely positioned engagement features.
3Strength
If rigid connection is used, then strength is improved, but ability to withstand shock deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A shock absorber is installed between the supporting cover plate and the reinforcement frame to provide beforehand cushioning against shock impacts. This allows the rigid welded connections to maintain their strength for normal loads while the shock absorber activates during impact events to protect the rigid connection from damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The shock absorber acts as an intermediary element between the rigid supporting structure and external shock impacts. It mediates the transmission of shock forces, allowing the rigid welded connections to maintain structural integrity while the shock absorber dissipates impact energy through controlled deformation.
4Ease of operation
If basic supporting structure is used, then ease of operation is improved, but safety deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting structure is segmented into multiple supporting rods with specific spatial arrangements (intersecting at defined angles, connected at specific positions). This segmentation creates inherent geometric stability that ensures user safety while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive structural form.
Solution Approach 2:
Anti-collision slots are pre-defined at the supporting main shaft to prevent collision between supporting rods during assembly and operation. This preliminary safety feature ensures user safety is built into the structure from the design stage, allowing simple operation without compromising safety.
