Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple electronic components are disposed in a single cavity, then the productivity and space utilization are improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to displacement risks during insulating layer filling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidelectrical reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cavity is segmented into multiple independent component receiving spaces by partition walls. Each space can independently hold one or more electronic components, preventing displacement during insulating layer filling while maintaining high space utilization. The partition walls create physical separation that isolates components from each other during the filling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Protrusions are formed on the partition walls before filling the cavity with insulating layer. These protrusions engage with grooves on the electronic components, securing them in position before the filling process begins. This preliminary positioning action prevents displacement during subsequent insulating layer injection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If electronic components are closely arranged in a cavity, then the productivity is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates due to displacement during filling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent densityVSAvoidcomponent positioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The cavity is divided into multiple component receiving spaces by partition walls, allowing dense arrangement of components while maintaining precise positioning. Each segmented space contains one or more components with dedicated protrusion-groove engagement structures, preventing displacement even at high component densities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Protrusions on partition walls and grooves on components are formed in advance to establish precise positioning. This preliminary engagement structure ensures that components maintain accurate positions during the filling process, enabling high manufacturing precision even when components are closely arranged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If a single cavity is used for multiple components, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability worsens due to potential short-circuiting from displacement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecavity structureVSAvoidelectrical reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The single cavity is internally segmented into multiple component receiving spaces by partition walls, maintaining the simplicity of a single external cavity structure while creating internal separation. This segmentation prevents physical contact and short-circuiting between components, preserving electrical reliability without increasing external device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Protrusions and grooves are formed in advance on partition walls and components respectively, creating engagement structures that prevent displacement. This preliminary positioning action ensures components remain electrically isolated during filling, maintaining reliability while keeping the overall cavity structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
