Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If smart glasses incorporate more circuits, batteries and structures to increase functions, then the functional requirements are met, but the manufacturing difficulty increases and structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The temple is divided into multiple modular components including a first module with the cavity and optical device, and a second module with the circuit board. This segmentation allows independent manufacturing and assembly of functional modules, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining rich functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit board is inserted into the cavity of the temple, with the electrical contact extending through the temple structure. This nested arrangement allows multiple components to occupy hierarchical space efficiently, reducing the overall device footprint and structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If smart glasses incorporate more circuits, batteries and structures to increase functions, then the functional requirements are met, but the manufacturing cost increases and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The temple is divided into multiple modular components including a first module with the cavity and optical device, and a second module with the circuit board. This segmentation allows independent manufacturing and assembly of functional modules, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining rich functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical contact is pre-installed on the circuit board before insertion into the temple. This preliminary preparation simplifies the final assembly process, improving production efficiency by reducing the number of steps required during final assembly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If smart glasses incorporate more circuits, batteries and structures to increase functions, then the functional requirements are met, but it becomes difficult to install within the limited glasses space
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board is inserted into the cavity of the temple, with the electrical contact extending through the temple structure. This nested arrangement allows multiple components to occupy hierarchical space efficiently, reducing the overall device footprint and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical contact extends in the inner-outer direction of the temple, utilizing the radial dimension of the temple structure. This dimensional approach allows the electrical contact to pass through the temple wall and connect to external components without occupying additional linear space along the temple length.
4Ease of manufacture
If smart glasses use traditional assembly methods, then manufacturing is straightforward, but installation convenience and maintenance accessibility are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical contact is pre-installed on the circuit board before insertion into the temple. This preliminary preparation simplifies the final assembly process, improving production efficiency by reducing the number of steps required during final assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical contact is extracted from the traditional embedded configuration and repositioned to extend through the temple structure. This extraction makes the electrical contact accessible from the outside, improving installation convenience and maintenance accessibility without complicating the manufacturing process.

AI summary
Smart glasses and a manufacturing method wherein a cavity comprising a first and second opening is provided in a temple of the smart glasses. A panel matches with the first opening in shape, and closes the first opening in front of the temple. A circuit board is fixedly connected to the panel and extends backwards from the panel. The panel matches with the cavity in shape. An electrical contact is provided on the circuit board. When the circuit board is inserted into a predetermined position of the cavity from the first opening, the electrical contact faces the second opening and extends out of the second opening. By using this structure, the mounting structure of the smart glasses is simplified while an elastic interface that is convenient to connect is provided, thus the convenience of mounting and manufacturing the smart glasses is improved.
