Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed rigid mounting system is used, then structural stability is improved, but flexibility and ease of reconfiguration deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system transitions from a fixed rigid structure to a dynamic adjustable system. The support member includes multiple preconfigured locations where mounts can be secured at different positions, allowing the display unit to be repositioned vertically along the support. This enables the system to adapt to different display heights and configurations while maintaining structural stability through the rigid support member.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: a support member, multiple mounts, and a display unit. The mounts can be independently positioned at different preconfigured locations on the support member and securely fastened. This segmentation allows flexible reconfiguration of the display unit's position and orientation while each component maintains its structural integrity.
2Illumination intensity
If traditional lighting systems are used, then illumination is improved, but heat production and energy consumption worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting system transitions from traditional high-power illumination sources to low-powered LED lighting elements. This parameter change in the lighting technology provides sufficient illumination for the display while dramatically reducing heat production and energy consumption. The LED elements can be secured at different locations on the support member to provide targeted backlighting for the display unit.
3Manufacturing precision
If complex mounting mechanisms are used, then positioning precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support member includes preconfigured locations or positions where mounts can be secured before the display unit is installed. These preconfigured locations are positioned at predetermined heights and orientations, eliminating the need for complex measurements and adjustments during installation. The mounts can be easily attached to these prepositioned locations and the display unit can be quickly mounted without requiring precision alignment tools or complex adjustment mechanisms.
