Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the movable support is formed by splicing metal plates, then the assembly process is complex with many parts, but the processing accuracy is low and size errors are large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly process complexityVSAvoidprocessing accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple spliced metal plate segments into a single integrally formed movable support structure. This eliminates the need for assembling multiple separate metal plates through splicing, thereby reducing assembly complexity while simultaneously improving manufacturing precision by avoiding cumulative positioning errors from multiple joints and connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs a universal movable support structure that can accommodate different types of stage light fixtures through standardized interfaces and mounting mechanisms. This integral structure serves multiple functions: providing structural support, enabling precise positioning, and facilitating universal compatibility across different light fixture models, thereby simplifying manufacturing while maintaining high precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of manufacture

If the movable support is formed by splicing metal plates, then the assembly process is complex with many parts, but the overall connection strength is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly process complexityVSAvoidoverall connection strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple metal plate segments into a single integrally formed movable support, eliminating weak connection points at splice joints. The integral structure provides continuous material throughout the support, ensuring uniform and strong connection strength across the entire component without relying on multiple fasteners or welding joints that would compromise structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If the movable support is formed by splicing metal plates, then the processing is complex with a large number of parts, but production standardization is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidproduction standardization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple separate metal plate components into a single monolithic movable support structure that can be manufactured as one piece using standardized forming processes. This eliminates the need for complex multi-step assembly operations involving multiple parts, enabling the component to be produced efficiently on automated production lines with consistent quality and timing, thereby achieving full production standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Device complexity

If the universal frame is integrally formed, then the number of parts is reduced and assembly is simplified, but the adaptability to different light head types must be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of partsVSAvoidadaptability to different light head types
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates universal mounting interfaces and adjustable positioning mechanisms directly into the integrally formed frame structure. These built-in universal features enable the single-frame design to accommodate various light head types through standardized mounting patterns and adjustable components, maintaining high adaptability while preserving the simplicity and low part count of the integral construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
