Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If rigid connection is used between first circuit board and frame, then structural stability is improved, but alignment flexibility deteriorates causing connection terminal misalignment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidalignment flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The first circuit board is designed to be movable relative to the display substrate through elastic components (springs), transforming the rigid static connection into a dynamic adjustable connection. This allows the circuit board to be positioned accurately during assembly while maintaining structural stability through the elastic support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The connection system is segmented into multiple independent components: display substrate, frame, elastic components, and first circuit board. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component's function, enabling the circuit board to move independently for alignment while the frame maintains overall structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If manual alignment method is used, then assembly precision can be achieved, but assembly time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic components (springs) enable the first circuit board to self-adjust its position during assembly. The movable design allows the board to automatically align with connection terminals through elastic deformation, eliminating the need for complex manual alignment operations while ensuring precise connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the positional parameter of the first circuit board from fixed to variable through elastic components. This parameter change enables the board to adjust its position dynamically during assembly, achieving precise alignment through elastic deformation rather than manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If first circuit board is made movable, then alignment accuracy is improved, but structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The first circuit board is designed as a movable component connected through elastic springs, allowing it to adjust position for accurate alignment. The elastic connection maintains structural stability by providing controlled flexibility rather than rigid fixation, enabling both movement and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The connection stiffness parameter is changed from rigid (infinite stiffness) to elastic (finite stiffness). This parameter change allows the first circuit board to move for alignment while the elastic components maintain overall structural stability through controlled deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
