Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed tablet support is used, then the structure is simple and manufacturing cost is low, but the support cannot accommodate different tablet sizes and configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion is made movable along the first direction instead of being fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment to accommodate different tablet sizes and configurations while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is designed to work with multiple types of multimedia tablets regardless of size or configuration by providing adjustable positioning mechanisms that can adapt to various tablet dimensions
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support portion is made movable for adjustment, then adaptability to different tablets is improved, but the stability of the tablet position may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion can move along the first direction to accommodate different tablets, but once positioned, it provides stable support for the tablet during use, achieving both adjustability and operational stability
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is divided into movable and fixed portions, where the support portion can adjust along the first direction while the base remains fixed, allowing independent optimization of both adaptability and stability
3Manufacturing precision
If the optical reflector element is positioned precisely for augmented reality, then application performance is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The optical reflector element is made movable along the second direction to enable precise alignment with the tablet's optical member for augmented reality applications, while the overall positioning mechanism remains relatively simple
Solution Approach 2:
The optical reflector element has specialized positioning capabilities along the second direction to achieve the precise alignment required for optical components, while other parts of the device maintain simpler structures
