Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a flexible pressing block is used to fit the flexible display panel to the curved cover plate, then the fitting process can be performed, but the flexible pressing block is prone to deformation causing insufficient fitting and uneven pressure distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing block is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically adjust its position and orientation during the fitting process. The pressing block can slide along the curved cover plate and rotate to align with the flexible display panel, automatically compensating for alignment deviations and preventing deformation that would cause uneven pressure distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing block's physical parameters such as hardness, shape, and size are optimized to reduce deformation. The pressing block is designed with a curved surface matching the curved cover plate geometry, and its material properties are selected to maintain structural integrity while providing sufficient compliance for accurate fitting.
2Ease of operation
If the flexible pressing block is made softer to facilitate installation, then installation is easier, but the block generates larger deformation causing the arc of the curved cover plate to be incompletely filled
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing block transitions from a static component to a dynamic one that can move and adapt during installation. This mobility allows the block to achieve proper alignment without requiring excessive softness, thereby maintaining both ease of installation and fitting completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing block is divided into multiple independent pressing units distributed across its surface. Each unit can independently adjust and apply pressure, ensuring complete coverage of the curved cover plate arc while maintaining appropriate firmness to prevent deformation.
3Ease of operation
If a gap is formed in the clamping joint to facilitate installation of the flexible pressing block, then installation is easier, but the central axis of the pressing block does not coincide with the central axis of the curved cover plate resulting in uneven fitting pressure
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing block is designed with movable joints and adjustment mechanisms that allow it to dynamically align its central axis with the curved cover plate's central axis during installation. The gap in the clamping joint is incorporated as a deliberate design feature that enables this dynamic alignment process while ensuring accurate final positioning.
4Adaptability or versatility
If repeated debugging is performed to correct alignment errors, then different products can be fitted, but the process is time-consuming and laborious reducing productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing block is designed with self-aligning capabilities through its movable structure and interaction with the curved cover plate. During the fitting process, the pressing block automatically adjusts its position and orientation to achieve proper alignment without requiring manual debugging or intervention, thereby maintaining adaptability to different products while significantly improving productivity.
