Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the detecting device is moved to a location close to the object for effective detection, then the detection precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in accessing challenging locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cable as an intermediary element that connects the detecting device to the support posts. The cable acts as a mediator that enables the detecting device to reach difficult-to-access locations without requiring direct physical access to those locations, thus improving detection precision while maintaining ease of operation through remote positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from ground-based detection to aerial detection by having the detecting device suspended in the air via the cable system. This dimensional change allows the detecting device to access locations that are difficult to reach on the ground, thereby improving both detection precision and operational flexibility.
2Reliability
If the detecting device is positioned close to the object, then the detection effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for cable support and positioning mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The cable system serves multiple functions: it supports the detecting device, enables positioning at various locations, and allows movement between detection points. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate mechanisms for each function, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while maintaining high detection effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The detecting device is suspended and positioned passively by the cable system rather than requiring active propulsion or complex positioning mechanisms. The cable system automatically provides support and positioning capabilities, reducing the complexity of the detecting device itself while maintaining detection effectiveness.

AI summary
A detection system includes a plurality of support posts, cables supported by the support posts, a winding device operable to wind the cable, a lifting and lowering device that is connected to the cable, and is movable in an air when the cable is wound by the winding device, and a detecting device hung by the lifting and lowering device. The detecting device is configured to be moved by the winding device in a region defined by the support posts, and lowered by the lifting and lowering device to detect information concerning an object.
