Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If adhesiveness of resin sheet is excessively low, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to winding deviation and molding position deviation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadhesivenessVSAvoidmolding position
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the silicone content in the surface layer within 0.3 to 4.0 g/m2. This quantitative parameter adjustment optimizes the balance between adhesiveness and shape stability, preventing both excessive adhesion that would cause winding deviation and insufficient adhesion that would lead to molding position deviation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by combining a base material sheet with a surface layer containing silicone. This layered composite structure allows the base material to provide structural integrity while the silicone-containing surface layer provides controlled adhesiveness, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If deep-drawing molding is performed to provide pockets, then adaptability is improved for component packaging, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to hole generation and reduced strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepocket shapeVSAvoidmolding quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the resin composition ratios (component A: 29-65 parts, component B: 25-60 parts, component C: 8-20 parts) and silicone content (0.3-4.0 g/m2). These parameter adjustments enable the material to withstand deep-drawing molding forces without generating holes while maintaining molding precision and pocket strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The composite structure of base material sheet plus silicone-containing surface layer provides the necessary combination of ductility for deep-drawing and strength for hole prevention. The surface layer modifies the surface properties to enable successful deep-drawing molding while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling silicone content within 0.3 to 4.0 g/m2. This quantitative control ensures sufficient adhesiveness for molding precision while preventing excessive adhesion that would cause winding deviation and compromise shape stability during the winding process.
