Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If special parts (gears, tires, rods) are used for rotation shafts in assembly block kits, then the rotation function can be achieved, but the device complexity and the number of parts required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly block integrates a servomotor directly into the block body, making the block itself capable of rotation without requiring separate gears, tires, or rods. This multi-functional design allows a single block to serve both as a structural element and a rotating component, reducing the need for specialized parts and enhancing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines the servomotor, rotation shaft, and assembly block into a single integrated unit. The servomotor is mounted inside the block body with its output shaft extending outward, merging multiple functions (motivation, transmission, and rotation) into one component, thereby simplifying the overall system and reducing part count.
2Adaptability or versatility
If special parts are purchased separately for different rotation applications, then specific rotation functions can be achieved, but the cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized assembly block with integrated servomotor can be used for various rotation applications without requiring different specialized parts. Users can achieve diverse rotating functions by assembling multiple identical blocks in different configurations, eliminating the need to purchase separate gears, tires, and rods for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention divides the rotation function into modular assembly blocks that can be independently assembled. Each block is a self-contained unit with its own servomotor and rotation capability, allowing users to segment complex rotating structures into simpler modular components rather than requiring complete specialized kits for each function.
3Power
If gears and other transmission components are used to connect motor to rotation shaft, then the motor can drive the rotation shaft, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The servomotor is directly integrated into the assembly block body with its output shaft serving as the rotation shaft. This eliminates the need for separate gears, belts, or other transmission components, as the motor's rotational power is directly transferred to the block's rotation shaft, simplifying the power transmission system while maintaining full driving capability.
