Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single clamping tooth is used to fix the elastic rope, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of the connection deteriorates because the elastic rope is easily detached during rotation
Solution Approach 1:
The single clamping tooth is segmented into multiple clamping teeth arranged around the mounting plate. This segmentation increases the number of connection points between the elastic rope and the mounting structure, preventing the rope from detaching during rotation while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple clamping teeth are distributed at different positions around the mounting plate, creating local connection points with varying orientations. This local quality distribution ensures that the elastic rope is secured at multiple locations, improving connection reliability without requiring a complex centralized mounting mechanism.
2Ease of manufacture
If the elastic rope is clamped by a single clamping tooth, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the stability of the object's composition deteriorates because the elastic rope detaches easily during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting plate is designed with multiple clamping teeth segmented around its perimeter. This segmentation allows the elastic rope to be clamped at multiple discrete points, improving fixation stability while keeping each individual clamping tooth simple in structure and easy to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate is designed to rotate during ball picking operations, and the multiple clamping teeth are arranged to accommodate this rotational movement. The elastic rope remains securely clamped at multiple points throughout the rotation, maintaining composition stability without requiring complex dynamic adjustment mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
By providing at least two bending portions at the at least one end of the soft rod, the soft rod can be clamped with the first mounting structure and/or the second mounting structure, so that the end of the soft rod has at least two clamping points for fixing, thereby improving the fixation between the soft rod and the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure, preventing the soft rod from falling off during the operation of the picking device, and improving the user experience.
Implementation Method 1
At least one end of the soft rod is provided with at least two bending portions; a bending portion close to the end is bent into a hook shape, and the at least two of the bending portions are configured to snap with the first mounting structure and/or the second mounting structure
