Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If the vehicle is filled with more fuel, then the vehicle can drive further without refueling, but the self-weight of the vehicle increases which causes increased fuel consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of the optimal fuel amount before refueling by analyzing the driving route, vehicle status, and historical data. This allows the refueling operation to be precisely controlled to provide exactly the needed fuel amount, avoiding both under-fueling and over-fueling scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring vehicle status, driving patterns, and fuel consumption data to dynamically adjust and optimize the refueling amount. This closed-loop control ensures that the vehicle receives the precise fuel quantity needed for its specific operational requirements.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the vehicle is filled with less fuel, then the fuel consumption is reduced, but the vehicle may be unable to reach the destination
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the driving route, vehicle performance characteristics, and operational requirements before determining the refueling amount. This advance planning ensures that the calculated fuel quantity is sufficient to complete the journey, eliminating the risk of the vehicle being unable to reach its destination.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback from vehicle status sensors, driving pattern analysis, and route information to dynamically adjust the fuel quantity recommendation, ensuring that reliability requirements are met while optimizing fuel consumption.
3Ease of operation
If manual refueling based on experience is used, then the operation is simple, but the vehicle weight cannot be controlled effectively leading to unreasonable fuel consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically calculating the optimal refueling amount based on vehicle status, driving route, and historical data without requiring manual intervention or expert judgment. The vehicle management system independently determines and executes the precise refueling operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual experience-based refueling decisions with an automated intelligent system that uses data analysis, route optimization algorithms, and vehicle status monitoring to determine the optimal fuel quantity, thereby improving fuel consumption efficiency.
