Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual application method is used, then operation simplicity is maintained, but application precision and quality deteriorate due to reliance on worker proficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a positioning die as an intermediary tool between the worker and the screen protector application process. The positioning die includes positioning structures that physically guide and constrain the screen protector during application, ensuring precise alignment and positioning without requiring high worker proficiency. This mediator transfers the precision requirement from human skill to the mechanical positioning system.
2Device complexity
If manual application method is used, then device complexity is low, but application quality and consistency deteriorate due to dependence on worker skill
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning die incorporates pre-designed positioning structures and alignment features that are prepared in advance. These structures automatically guide the screen protector into the correct position during application, eliminating the need for workers to manually align and position the protector. The preliminary structural design ensures consistent application quality across different workers and operations.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional manual tearing and application is used, then material usage is simple, but application success rate deteriorates due to lack of control
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning die serves as a mediator that provides structural support and guidance during the application process. It includes features such as positioning cavities, alignment guides, and pressure distribution mechanisms that control the screen protector application. This intermediary tool transforms the uncontrolled manual process into a controlled operation with high success rate, while maintaining simplicity in material usage.

AI summary
A screen protector applicator for electronic equipment, which includes a positioning die, an adhesive parts and a flexible pulling parts. The positioning die has a positioning cavity formed by a bottom panel and a few of side panels around a periphery of the bottom panel, for positioning a screen protector and the electronic equipment. The adhesive parts is fixed a first end of the bottom panel and a top surface of the adhesive parts is provided with an adhesive layer for sticking an end of the screen protector. The flexible pulling parts is fixed on the second end of the bottom panel. A top surface of the flexible pulling parts is provided with the other adhesive layer for sticking the other end of the screen protector, one end of the flexible pulling parts extends out of the positioning cavity.
