Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the printing method is used to fill resin into the through hole, then the through hole can be filled with resin to function as a waveguide, but voids are formed in the resin causing non-uniform dielectric constant and increased dielectric loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaveguide functionVSAvoiddielectric constant uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state of the resin from a paste-like printing material to a liquid resin that is injected under pressure. This parameter change allows the resin to flow smoothly into the through hole without forming voids, achieving uniform dielectric constant while maintaining waveguide function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses hydraulic pressure to inject liquid resin into the through hole. By applying pressure to the liquid resin, it forces the material to fill the hole completely without air pockets or voids, ensuring uniform dielectric properties throughout the waveguide structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #29Pneumatics and hydraulics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the through hole is filled with resin using printing method, then integration of wiring board, antenna board, and control board is achieved, but dielectric loss increases due to void formation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoiddielectric loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs hydraulic injection to fill the through hole with liquid resin, eliminating voids that cause dielectric loss. This method maintains the integration benefit while significantly reducing energy loss in the waveguide
