Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If screws are used to fasten two plate bodies, then the plate bodies are firmly combined and not easy to separate, but the assembly process is slow and not rapid

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefirm attachmentVSAvoidassembly speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical screw fastening system with a soldering-based attachment system. The fastener structure includes a body portion with a solderable layer that is soldered directly to the plate body, eliminating the need for threaded fasteners and mechanical screw operations. This substitution of mechanical fastening with thermal bonding achieves both rapid assembly and firm attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The fastener structure is divided into distinct functional components: a body portion with a solderable layer for attachment to the plate body, and a fastening body with a head and fastening portion for the actual fastening function. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function and enables rapid assembly through selective soldering of only the body portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If traditional fastening methods are used, then secure attachment is achieved, but the assembly process cannot be completed rapidly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure attachmentVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener structure is pre-configured with the body portion and fastening body already assembled or pre-positioned. The solderable layer is prepared in advance on the body portion, allowing for rapid placement and soldering during the assembly process. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex assembly operations during actual fastening, significantly reducing assembly time while maintaining secure attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If a solderable layer is added to the body portion, then rapid assembly through soldering is enabled, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly speedVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The solderable layer is integrated directly into the body portion of the fastener structure, merging the attachment function with the structural component. This integration eliminates the need for separate attachment mechanisms or additional components, achieving rapid assembly through soldering without significantly increasing overall device complexity. The fastening body with movable combination further simplifies the structure by providing automatic engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
