Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a multi-angle turntable bracket structure is used to support tablets at various angles, then the versatility and adaptability are improved, but the device complexity and structural complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-angle support capabilityVSAvoidbracket structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is divided into multiple independent segments (first bracket, second bracket, third bracket) connected by rotating shafts, allowing each segment to be adjusted independently to achieve various angles while maintaining overall structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket employs rotating shafts with elastic clamping points that allow dynamic adjustment between fixed angular positions, transitioning from a static fixed-angle structure to a dynamic multi-angle adjustable structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a complex multi-angle turntable bracket structure is used to achieve various support angles, then the versatility is improved, but the ease of manufacture and assembly deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-angle support capabilityVSAvoidassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is divided into multiple independent segments (first bracket, second bracket, third bracket) connected by rotating shafts, allowing each segment to be adjusted independently to achieve various angles while maintaining overall structural simplicity
