Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional electromagnetic shielding methods using multiple layers of metal shielding housings assembled with screws, bolts, and welds are employed, then electromagnetic shielding performance can be achieved, but the cost increases, connection process becomes complex, and installation flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic shielding performanceVSAvoidconnection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an elastic portion (flexible conductive element) that can deform elastically to establish electrical connection between the shielding cover and working component. This flexible connection replaces rigid mechanical fasteners (screws, bolts, welds), achieving both reliable electromagnetic shielding through continuous conductive contact and simplified installation without complex connection processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic portion acts as an intermediary element between the shielding cover and working component, providing both mechanical connection and electrical conduction. This single intermediary element replaces multiple connection components (screws, bolts, welds), reducing device complexity while maintaining shielding effectiveness through ensured electrical continuity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional electromagnetic shielding methods with multiple connection components are used, then shielding integrity can be maintained, but installation and use flexibility is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding integrityVSAvoidinstallation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic portion's ability to deform elastically allows for flexible installation and adjustment while maintaining continuous electrical contact. The flexibility enables easy assembly and disassembly without damaging components, yet ensures shielding integrity through reliable conductive connection between shielding elements and working components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic portion changes its physical state (deforms elastically) to accommodate different installation conditions and positions. This parameter change (shape deformation within elastic limit) allows flexible installation while maintaining the critical parameter of electrical conductivity for shielding integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If direct hard connections are used for grounding in electromagnetic shielding devices, then electrical connection can be established, but costs increase and the connection process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic portion serves as both the connection element and grounding path, eliminating the need for separate hard connection components and grounding wires. This single integrated element reduces manufacturing cost while ensuring reliable electrical connection through its inherent conductivity and elastic contact mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The invention merges the functions of mechanical connection and electrical grounding into a single elastic portion. This consolidation replaces multiple separate components (connection hardware plus grounding elements), reducing manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining reliable electrical connection for shielding effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An electromagnetic shielding box assembly and an electromechanical device are disclosed. The electromagnetic shielding box assembly includes a housing, a shielding cover and a shielding lid. The shielding cover is arranged in the housing, and the shielding lid is arranged on the housing and the shielding cover to form a shielding space for arranging an electronic device therein. The housing has at least one through hole penetrating the housing, and the shielding cover has at least one first elastic portion. The first elastic portion extends outward from the body of the shielding cover, passes through the through hole, and then elastically abuts against a working component located outside the housing, thereby forming a conductive path from the shielding cover to the working component. By way of the above, lower costs, a simple connection process, and flexible, convenient installation and use are achieved, all while ensuring reliable performance.
