Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If T-shaped or cross-shaped connecting parts are used to connect frame pipes and leg pipes, then the structural strength is improved, but the manufacturing cost and processing difficulty increase due to welding requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting part is divided into separate components: a frame pipe with transverse mounting portions and a leg pipe with fitting segments. These segmented parts can be assembled without welding, reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining strength through the mounting portion-fitting segment connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The transverse mounting portions act as intermediary elements between the frame pipe and leg pipe. These mounting portions provide connection points that eliminate the need for welding while ensuring structural integrity through mechanical attachment.
2Stability of the object's composition
If T-shaped or cross-shaped connecting parts are used for frame pipe connections, then the structural stability is improved, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into modular components (frame pipe with mounting portions, leg pipe with fitting segments) that can be independently assembled and disassembled. This segmentation simplifies the assembly process while maintaining structural stability through the designed connection interface.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of creating complex integrated shapes (T-shaped or cross-shaped connecting parts), the design inverts the approach by using simple linear pipes with strategically positioned mounting portions and fitting segments, achieving stability through configuration rather than complex geometry.
3Strength
If welding processes are used to connect tubular parts, then the connection strength is improved, but the material cost and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The welding process is replaced with a mechanical assembly system using mounting portions and fitting segments. This substitution eliminates the need for welding equipment and processes, reducing processing time and material costs while maintaining connection strength through the mechanical interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The design uses simple, inexpensive tubular components with standardized mounting portions and fitting segments that can be assembled quickly without expensive welding processes, reducing both material cost and processing time while achieving sufficient connection strength.

AI summary
A trampoline support structure comprises a joining pipe including a longitudinal mounting hole and two transverse mounting portions, a first annular pipe including a first fitting segment and a first connecting segment, a second annular pipe including a second fitting segment and a second connecting segment, and a supporting pipe including a third fitting segment, in which the first annular pipe and the second annular pipe are mounted to the two transverse mounting portions of the joining pipe through the first fitting segment and the second fitting segment, respectively, while the supporting pipe is mounted to the longitudinal mounting hole of the joining pipe through the third fitting segment. In this case, the joining pipe is a linear tubular part so as to enable material cost savings with enhanced efficiency of assembly.
