Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a coiled conducting wire is provided between electric equipment and coaxial cable, then electrical noise propagation is reduced, but mechanical vibration absorption capability is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The spring structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical connection, absorbs mechanical vibrations through its elastic spring property, and removes electrical noise through its inductance component. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by making a single structure capable of both vibration absorption and noise removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the vibration absorption function and noise removal function into a single integrated spring structure. The conducting wire is wound into a spring shape that inherently provides both mechanical elasticity for vibration absorption and electrical inductance for noise filtering, combining previously separate functions into one component.
2Reliability
If separate structures are used for vibration absorption and noise removal, then each function can be optimized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spring structure serves as a universal component that simultaneously provides mechanical vibration absorption through its elastic property and electrical noise removal through its inductance. This eliminates the need for separate vibration absorption structures and noise filtering structures, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining both functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines multiple protective functions into a single spring structure that performs both mechanical and electrical protection. By integrating vibration absorption and noise removal capabilities into one component, the connector structure becomes simpler while achieving comprehensive protection.
3Reliability
If a rigid conducting wire is used for electrical connection, then electrical conductivity is maintained, but mechanical vibration transmission occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The conducting wire is transformed from a rigid structure into a dynamic spring structure that can elastically deform. This dynamic configuration allows the wire to absorb mechanical vibrations through elastic deformation while maintaining electrical conductivity, resolving the contradiction between rigidity for electrical connection and flexibility for vibration absorption.
Solution Approach 2:
The physical state of the conducting wire is changed from rigid to elastic by forming it into a spring structure. This parameter change in mechanical properties allows the wire to simultaneously maintain electrical conductivity and absorb mechanical vibrations, eliminating vibration transmission while preserving electrical connection reliability.
