Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If heat is applied to the bonding area to maintain bonding temperature, then bonding reliability is improved, but heat is transferred to unnecessary areas causing increased power consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating a thermal insulation structure specifically at the bonding area using an air hole and insulating material layer. This localized approach maintains high temperature only where needed for bonding while preventing heat transfer to unnecessary areas, thus improving bonding reliability without excessive power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary thermal insulation structure consisting of an air hole and insulating material layer between the bonding area and the rest of the PCB. This intermediary structure acts as a thermal barrier that prevents harmful heat transfer to unnecessary areas while allowing the bonding area to maintain required temperature

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If heat is applied to the bonding area, then bonding temperature is maintained, but heat transfer to unnecessary areas occurs causing potential damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding temperatureVSAvoidheat transfer to unnecessary areas
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The thermal insulation structure is locally applied at the bonding area using an air hole and insulating material layer. This localized insulation maintains high temperature at the bonding area while preventing heat transfer to unnecessary areas, thus maintaining bonding temperature without causing harmful heat transfer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potentially harmful heat transfer to unnecessary areas into a beneficial localized heating effect. By insulating the bonding area, the heat that would otherwise be wasted is now concentrated where needed, maintaining bonding temperature while preventing damage to other areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
