Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional ring resizing methods are used, then the ring size can be changed, but the process is inefficient and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical ring resizing methods with a chemical-adhesive-based system. Instead of physically altering the ring structure through mechanical means, the invention uses shadowless adhesive applied to the inner diameter, which is then cured to expand the ring size. This substitution of mechanical processes with chemical bonding and UV curing significantly simplifies the resizing process and improves efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical-chemical parameters of the ring by applying adhesive material to the inner diameter surface. The ring size adjustment is achieved by changing the volume and curing state of the adhesive material rather than altering the ring's original material properties. This parameter change approach allows for quick, reversible, and precise size adjustments without complex mechanical operations.
2Manufacturing precision
If adhesive is applied to expand ring inner diameter, then the ring size increases, but the adhesive application must be uniform and quick curing is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a specialized adhesive applicator tool as an intermediary device between the operator and the ring inner diameter. This tool ensures uniform adhesive distribution by controlling the application process, while the shadowless adhesive formulation acts as a chemical intermediary that enables rapid UV curing. The combination of the applicator tool and UV-curable adhesive material resolves both the uniformity and time constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes the phase transition of the shadowless adhesive from liquid to solid state through UV light irradiation. The adhesive is applied in liquid form for easy distribution, then rapidly cured to a solid state within seconds under UV light. This phase transition mechanism enables both uniform application and quick setting, eliminating the time loss associated with traditional air-drying or slow-curing adhesives.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adhesive layers are applied for large size adjustments, then the ring can be expanded more, but the process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the adhesive application process into multiple sequential layers for large size adjustments. Each layer is applied, cured under UV light, and then the next layer is added. This segmented approach allows for progressive expansion of the ring inner diameter while maintaining simplicity at each individual step. The modular nature of layer-by-layer application avoids overwhelming complexity while achieving versatile size adjustments.
