Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional buckles are used to combine objects, then the objects can be fastened together, but the combination becomes unstable and loose after combination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombination stabilityVSAvoidfastening reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener is designed with rotatable sections that can dynamically transition between different positions (limiting position and lifted position) to adapt to different operational states. The body section and fastener sections can rotate relative to each other, allowing the structure to dynamically adjust and maintain stable combination during use while enabling easy separation when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If traditional buckles are used to combine objects, then the objects can be fastened together, but the buckle becomes difficult to separate after combination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefastening reliabilityVSAvoidseparation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener is divided into multiple independently rotatable sections (first fastener section, second fastener section, third fastener section) that can move relative to each other. This segmentation allows each section to be controlled independently, enabling the fastener to remain securely fastened during use but be easily separated by rotating specific sections to the lifted position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening mechanism uses dynamic rotational movement between the body section and fastener sections. The limiting segment and uplift segment create defined rotational positions that allow the fastener to transition from a locked state (stable combination) to an unlocked state (easy separation) through controlled rotation, solving the contradiction between reliable fastening and easy release.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If the body section and fastener are rigidly connected, then the structure is stable, but the fastener cannot be easily separated from the body section

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidseparation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of rigid connection, the invention uses movable and rotatable connections between the body section and fastener sections. The fastener sections can rotate relative to the body section within defined ranges, providing structural stability during fastening while enabling easy separation through rotational movement to the lifted position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Ease of operation

If the fastener is designed with multiple movable sections, then separation becomes easier, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation easeVSAvoidfastener structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener is segmented into multiple rotatable sections that can move independently. While this increases functional capability, each section uses a simplified rotational joint design with limiting and uplift segments, avoiding overly complex mechanisms. The segmentation allows straightforward separation operation while maintaining reasonable structural simplicity through standardized joint designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A fastening structure includes a body section and a fastener. The body section is movably combined with the fastener, and the body section is provided with a limiting segment or an uplift segment. The fastener is provided with a corresponding section. The limiting segment is used to make the corresponding section located at a limiting position, or the uplift segment is used to make the corresponding section located at a lifting position.
