Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a power transmission gear is used to transmit driving force to both the driving wheel and cleaning component, then the driving efficiency is improved and energy consumption is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the driving force transmission for both the driving wheel and cleaning component into a single power transmission gear system. This merging of functions allows one power source to simultaneously drive multiple components, reducing overall energy consumption while consolidating the transmission mechanism rather than using separate motors for each function.
2Productivity
If multiple transmission gears are used to optimize driving force distribution, then the driving efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission mechanism is segmented into multiple gears (power transmission gear, first transmission gear, second transmission gear) that are arranged in a sequential chain. This segmentation allows the driving force to be progressively transmitted and optimized through each gear stage, improving overall driving efficiency while maintaining a manageable structural complexity through systematic arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The first transmission gear and second transmission gear act as intermediary elements between the power transmission gear and the final driven components. These intermediate gears facilitate the optimization of driving force distribution by providing staged transmission, allowing for better mechanical advantage and efficiency without requiring a direct complex connection between the power source and all driven components.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the power transmission gear transmits driving force to both driving wheel and cleaning component, then the endurance is increased, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power transmission gear is designed with multi-functionality, serving as a universal component that transmits driving force to both the driving wheel and the cleaning component through the transmission chain. This universal design consolidates the power transmission function into a single gear system, reducing the number of separate components and potentially reducing overall manufacturing precision requirements compared to multiple specialized gears.
