Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional fixing methods are used for electronic components, then the fixing structure is simple, but the adaptability to different component sizes is poor and frequent changes are required
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing device employs a telescopic block that can extend and retract within the fixing block, allowing the holding portion to dynamically adjust its length. This dynamic structure enables the same fixing device to accommodate electronic components of different sizes without requiring structural changes, thus improving adaptability while maintaining reasonable device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device is designed with universal applicability through the telescopic mechanism that can adjust to various component dimensions. The insert slot and holding structure serve multiple functions: securing components of different sizes, providing stable support, and enabling easy installation and removal. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by making one fixing structure suitable for diverse component types
2Adaptability or versatility
If frequent changes are made to fix different component sizes, then adaptability is improved, but the operation time and convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic block can be quickly extended or retracted to match different component sizes without requiring complete disassembly or reconfiguration. This dynamic adjustment capability significantly reduces the time needed to adapt the fixing device to different components compared to traditional methods that require frequent structural changes
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device is pre-configured with the telescopic mechanism and insert slots that can accommodate various component types. This preliminary design preparation eliminates the need for on-site modifications or frequent changes, allowing operators to quickly adapt to different components by simply adjusting the telescopic block position
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-length fixing structure is used, then the structure is simple, but the ability to hold components of different sizes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic block replaces the fixed-length structure with a dynamic extension mechanism. The block can extend to provide adequate support for larger components or retract for smaller ones, maintaining simplicity in the overall design while adding only the necessary telescopic components to achieve adaptability

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient and secure fixation of electronic components of different sizes on a motherboard within a chassis, facilitating easy installation and removal.
Implementation Method 1
The stopping block and the fixing block are connected by a resilient board, and the stopping block is further provided with a handle. The handle is pressed for conveniently pulling out the stopping block from the stopping hole. The resilient board is used to elastically reset the stopping block after releasing the handle.
