Innovation Solution

A testing device with a main body, mounting piece, and fixing plate, featuring L-shaped plates, a connecting rod, displacement micrometer, guiding rods, and adjustable components, allowing for precise measurement of shear performance and height adjustment, enabling the recording of data affected by anchoring force, length, and area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing testing devices are used to measure shear performance, then basic shear testing can be performed, but the device cannot test the influence of anchoring force, anchoring length and anchoring area on shear performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting capabilityVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The testing device is divided into multiple functional modules: a loading mechanism for applying anchoring force, a measurement mechanism for recording shear performance data, and an adjustable mounting structure. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each function to achieve comprehensive testing capability while maintaining data accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The testing device is designed with universal components that can test multiple parameters including anchoring force, anchoring length, anchoring area, and shear performance. The adjustable mounting structure and multi-functional measurement system enable the same device to accommodate various testing requirements without requiring separate specialized equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing testing devices are used, then shear performance can be measured, but the device is not adjustable in height to adapt to different testing schemes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustmentVSAvoidoperational convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure incorporates adjustable height components that allow the testing device to dynamically adapt to different testing schemes. The height adjustment mechanism is designed to be operationally convenient, enabling users to quickly modify the device configuration without complex procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If existing testing devices are used, then basic testing can be performed, but full data recording throughout the testing process is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata recordingVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The testing device incorporates data recording mechanisms that continuously monitor and record testing parameters throughout the process. This feedback system ensures complete data capture without requiring overly complex additional equipment, as the recording function is integrated into the existing testing framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
