Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate control modules are used for cabinet and cabinet door, then individual control functionality is achieved, but device complexity increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the control functions of the cabinet body and cabinet door into a single integrated control module. The control module communicates with both the cabinet body and cabinet door through wireless communication, eliminating the need for separate control modules while maintaining individual control functionality. This reduces structural complexity and improves reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication module as an intermediary between the control module and the cabinet door. This allows the control module to control both the cabinet body and cabinet door without direct physical wiring, simplifying the overall structure while preserving individual control capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If separate control modules are used for cabinet and cabinet door, then individual control functionality is achieved, but reliability decreases due to high probability of failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple control functions into a single control module, reducing the number of potential failure points. By eliminating separate control modules for the cabinet body and cabinet door, the system has fewer components that could fail, thereby improving overall reliability and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control module receives status information from both the cabinet body and cabinet door through wireless communication. This allows the control module to monitor and adjust the operation of both components, improving system reliability through continuous feedback and coordinated control.
3Device complexity
If wireless signal transmission is used between cabinet door and body, then device complexity is reduced, but wiring difficulty remains a constraint
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wiring system with a wireless communication system. The control module communicates with the cabinet door using wireless signals, eliminating the need for complex wiring between the cabinet body and cabinet door. This substitution significantly reduces device complexity while making the manufacturing process easier by removing wiring constraints.
4Adaptability or versatility
If more functions are integrated into the mirror cabinet, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control module that can control multiple functions including the cabinet body, cabinet door, mirror lighting, and storage compartments. This single control module handles diverse operations through wireless communication, providing multifunctionality without proportionally increasing structural complexity. The control module is designed to manage various functions efficiently, maintaining simplicity while enhancing versatility.
