Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If elastic deformation is used to generate pressing force, then the adhesive tape can be attached to the product surface, but the pressing force becomes unstable and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the elastic deformation mechanism with a suction-based mechanical system. The adhesive tape suction member uses negative pressure (suction force) generated by a vacuum source to hold and press the adhesive tape, eliminating the instability of elastic deformation. The suction force is controlled by regulating the negative pressure level, providing stable and reliable pressing force throughout the attachment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs pneumatic principles by using a suction member that generates negative pressure through a vacuum source. The adhesive tape is held and pressed against the product surface through controlled suction force, where the negative pressure level can be regulated to maintain consistent pressing force, thereby improving attachment reliability compared to elastic deformation methods.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed pressing mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate products of different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a movable pressing member that can adjust its position dynamically. The pressing member is connected through a linkage mechanism that allows it to move forward and backward, enabling adaptation to products of varying thicknesses. This dynamic adjustment capability is achieved through a structure that includes a movable connection between the pressing member and the main body, allowing the system to accommodate different product dimensions while maintaining functional simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing mechanism is divided into separate functional components: a suction member for holding the adhesive tape, a pressing member for applying force, and a movable connection mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, with the pressing member able to adjust its position relative to the suction member, thereby accommodating different product thicknesses without significantly increasing overall structural complexity.
3Force
If the adhesive tape suction member relies on elastic deformation, then the structure is simple, but the pressing force is unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the elastic deformation mechanism with a suction-based mechanical system. The adhesive tape suction member uses negative pressure (suction force) generated by a vacuum source to hold and press the adhesive tape, eliminating the instability of elastic deformation. The suction force is controlled by regulating the negative pressure level, providing stable and reliable pressing force throughout the attachment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs pneumatic principles by using a suction member that generates negative pressure through a vacuum source. The adhesive tape is held and pressed against the product surface through controlled suction force, where the negative pressure level can be regulated to maintain consistent pressing force, thereby improving attachment reliability compared to elastic deformation methods.
