Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a simple conductive member structure is used, then manufacturing is easier, but adhesion between layers deteriorates causing peeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidadhesion stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by creating a multi-layer structure consisting of a base body, an intermediate layer, and a conductive member. The intermediate layer acts as an adhesion promoter between the base body and the conductive member, preventing peeling while maintaining manufacturing simplicity. This composite approach resolves the contradiction by combining multiple materials with complementary properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediate layer serves as an intermediary between the base body and the conductive member, providing a bonding interface that enhances adhesion. This mediator layer prevents direct contact between incompatible surfaces, eliminating peeling issues while keeping the overall structure simple and manufacturable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If adhesion enhancement layers are added, then shielding stability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshielding stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite multi-layer structure where each layer has a specific function: the base body provides mechanical support, the intermediate layer provides adhesion, and the conductive member provides electromagnetic shielding. This functional composite approach achieves stable shielding without excessive complexity by assigning specific roles to each layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The intermediate layer is applied locally at the interface between the base body and conductive member, providing adhesion enhancement only where needed. This localized approach improves shielding stability without adding complexity to the entire device structure, as the enhancement is confined to the critical bonding region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
