Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired connection is used for communication between air conditioner outdoor units and indoor units, then communication reliability is improved, but installation complexity and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wired connection system with a wireless communication system. The remote controller establishes wireless communication connections with both the indoor unit and outdoor unit, eliminating the need for physical wiring between these components. This substitution maintains communication functionality while significantly reducing installation complexity and the need for wall drilling and cable routing.
2Reliability
If wired connection is used for communication between air conditioner outdoor units and indoor units, then communication stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a remote controller as an intermediary device that mediates communication between the indoor unit and outdoor unit. The remote controller wirelessly transmits control signals and data between the two units, eliminating the need for direct wired connections. This intermediary approach simplifies installation operations while maintaining stable communication through the wireless link.
3Ease of operation
If wireless communication is used to simplify installation, then ease of operation is improved, but communication reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller serves as a reliable intermediary that manages wireless communication protocols and error handling. It ensures stable data transmission between the indoor and outdoor units by implementing communication protocols, signal verification, and retransmission mechanisms, thereby maintaining communication reliability despite using wireless technology.
