Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If direct contact between electronic device and testing equipment is used, then testing can be performed, but the operation becomes cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting efficiencyVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a testing mechanism with a connecting structure that serves as an intermediary between the electronic device and testing equipment. This mechanism includes a connecting plate with positioning structures that can automatically engage with the tested device, eliminating the need for direct manual handling and improving both efficiency and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The testing mechanism is designed to be movable and adjustable, allowing it to dynamically position itself relative to the electronic device being tested. The mechanism can be moved into position and secured, providing both efficiency through automation and ease of operation through simple positioning actions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If manual handling of complex components is performed, then testing can be conducted, but the process becomes inefficient and prone to errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting reliabilityVSAvoidtesting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structure with pogo pins acts as an intermediary that provides reliable electrical connection without manual handling. The positioning structures ensure accurate alignment, improving reliability while the automated connection process enhances efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The testing mechanism is designed to self-position and self-connect to the electronic device through its positioning structures. The connecting plate automatically aligns with the device being tested, reducing manual intervention and improving both reliability and efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If secure connection is achieved through locking mechanism, then testing accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting accuracyVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking mechanism serves as an intermediary that secures the testing mechanism to the electronic device. While it adds some complexity, it ensures accurate and stable positioning during testing, improving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The locking mechanism is designed to be simple and straightforward, providing secure connection only when needed during testing. The mechanism can be easily engaged and disengaged, balancing the need for accuracy with acceptable complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A testing device for testing an electronic device includes a base, a testing mechanism, a pushing mechanism, and a fastening mechanism. The testing mechanism is rotatably fastened to the base and can be rotated from a first position to a second position. The fastening mechanism is mounted on the base. The pushing mechanism is rotatably mounted on the testing mechanism. When the testing mechanism is rotated from the first position to the second position, the pushing mechanism is rotated and pushes against the testing mechanism. The testing mechanism is connected to an electronic device. The testing mechanism is positioned in the second position via the fastening mechanism.
