Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a common power source drives multiple lighting devices without adaptive adjustment, then the system structure is simple, but when one device malfunctions, other devices may also malfunction due to excessive power, increasing maintenance cost and reducing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where detecting circuits monitor the status of each lighting device and generate detecting signals. The intelligent control module processes these signals and generates feedback signals to adjust the power output of the main power source module dynamically, preventing other devices from malfunctioning when one device fails

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects device status and adjusts power output without requiring manual intervention. The detecting module continuously monitors lighting devices, and the intelligent control module autonomously generates feedback signals to maintain optimal power levels, enabling the system to serve itself and maintain reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of repair

If adaptive adjustment function is added to prevent cascading failures, then maintenance cost is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance costVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system is segmented into independent functional modules: detecting module with individual detecting circuits for each lighting device, intelligent control module for signal processing, and main power source module for power output. This modular segmentation makes the system easier to maintain while providing adaptive adjustment functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The main power source module serves multiple functions: it provides power to all lighting devices and simultaneously responds to feedback signals to adjust power output dynamically. The detecting module both monitors device status and generates controlling signals, reducing the need for separate control components

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

3Measurement precision

If detecting circuits are connected to each lighting device, then detection precision is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple detecting circuits are merged into a single detecting module, and their outputs are combined in the intelligent control module through signal summation. This allows individual device detection while using a unified processing structure, improving detection precision without proportionally increasing overall circuit complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
