Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the through hole shape is made fixed in conventional rope buckle assemblies, then the structural design is simplified, but the structural development and improvement capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed through hole into a deformable structure. The male buckle incorporates elastic arms that can be compressed and deformed, allowing the through hole to dynamically change its shape and size. This enables the structure to adapt to different operational states while maintaining a relatively simple overall design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by allowing the through hole's geometric parameters (shape, size) to change in response to external forces. The elastic arms enable the hole to deform from its initial state to a compressed state, providing structural adaptability without significantly complicating the device design.
2Force
If the male buckle is designed with elastic arms that can be compressed, then additional elastic force is provided, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the male buckle into distinct functional components: the pressing segment and multiple elastic arms. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, providing the necessary elastic force while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes flexible elements through the elastic arms, which are designed to be compressible and deformable. These flexible components provide the necessary elastic force generation capability while maintaining a relatively simple structural implementation, avoiding the need for complex mechanical systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the through hole deforms to become smaller under external force, then a rope channel is formed for rope passage, but the structural stability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by creating a structure that transitions between stable states. The through hole maintains its initial stable configuration during normal conditions, then dynamically transforms into a compressed configuration with a defined rope channel when external force is applied. The elastic arms enable this controlled transformation while maintaining structural integrity throughout the process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action through the elastic arms, which are pre-configured to resist deformation and provide restoring force. This preliminary elastic resistance ensures that the structure maintains stability during the deformation process and returns to its original state after the external force is removed, preventing permanent structural instability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design enables immediate elastic force provision and additional elasticity through hole deformation, differing from conventional rope buckle assemblies by allowing the rope to pass through a dynamically adjusted channel.
Implementation Method 1
the two elastic arms are compressed and deformed by using the touching free ends thereof to respectively abut against the two guiding surfaces, such that each of the two through holes is deformed and becomes smaller

AI summary
A rope buckle assembly includes a female buckle and a male buckle. The female buckle has an accommodating slot and a plurality of openings being in spatial communication with and respectively arranged at two opposite side of the accommodating slot. The accommodating slot has two guiding surfaces protruding from a slot bottom thereof. The male buckle has two through holes in spatial communication with each other and includes two elastic arms spaced apart from each other. When the male buckle and the female buckle jointly receive an external force to move from an initial position to a through position, the two elastic arms are compressed and deformed by respectively abutting against the two guiding surfaces, so that each of the two through holes becomes smaller, and each of the two through holes corresponds in position to two of the openings for jointly defining a rope channel.
