Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the detection device uses separate conductive and insulation components, then electrical connection reliability is improved, but device complexity and volume increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines separate conductive and insulation components into an integrated connection member. The connection member includes conductive regions for electrical connection and insulation regions for electrical isolation, all formed as a single integrated structure. This merging reduces the number of discrete components, simplifies internal structure, and decreases device volume while maintaining reliable electrical connections between the sensor and transmitter.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection member serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical conduction through conductive regions, electrical insulation through insulation regions, mechanical connection between components, and structural support. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated components for each function, reducing overall device complexity and component count.
2Reliability
If the detection device uses separate conductive and insulation components, then electrical isolation is improved, but device volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates insulation regions directly within the connection member structure, combining electrical isolation functionality with the connection structure itself. This eliminates the need for separate insulation components and reduces overall device volume while maintaining effective electrical isolation between conductive paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The insulation regions are nested within or between the conductive regions of the connection member. The connection member's structure is designed with insulation regions positioned between conductive regions, creating a nested arrangement where insulation is embedded within the overall connection structure, maximizing space efficiency.
3Device complexity
If the detection device structure is simplified, then device volume is reduced, but manufacturing complexity may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection member is formed as a composite structure with conductive regions and insulation regions integrated into a single component. This can be achieved through composite materials or multi-layer construction techniques that allow both conductive and insulating properties to coexist in one manufactured part, simplifying assembly while maintaining manufacturing feasibility.
