Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional vibration decoupling systems are used, then vibration attenuation is achieved, but installation complexity increases and assembly time extends
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the mounting plate, intermediate support, and decoupling pad into an integrated assembly where the intermediate support is directly coupled to the mounting plate with built-in retention means. This merging eliminates the need for separate retention components and simplifies the installation process while maintaining vibration attenuation functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables vibration decoupling through the integrated intermediate support, and includes built-in retention means for positioning. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies the overall system while achieving both mechanical support and vibration attenuation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional vibration decoupling systems are used, then vibration attenuation is achieved, but assembly time increases due to numerous additional parts
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the mounting plate, intermediate support, and retention means into an integrated assembly, the patent reduces the number of discrete parts that need to be handled and assembled. This consolidation directly reduces assembly time while preserving the vibration attenuation function provided by the decoupling pad.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediate support and retention means are pre-integrated with the mounting plate in a ready-to-install configuration. This preliminary assembly of components eliminates the need for on-site assembly of multiple separate parts, thereby reducing assembly time while maintaining the vibration decoupling functionality.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional vibration decoupling systems are used, then vibration attenuation is achieved, but logistics costs increase due to numerous additional parts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functional components (mounting plate, intermediate support, retention means) into a single integrated assembly, thereby reducing the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, stored, and transported. This consolidation reduces logistics costs while maintaining the vibration attenuation capability through the integrated decoupling pad.
