Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If conventional ozone generators are used, then deodorization and disinfection functions are achieved, but the device volume is too large and requires external electrical power
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into modular components including a supporter structure with multiple supporting portions, a fan module, a high voltage generating module, a battery module, and a controlling circuit. Each module is independently configured and assembled, allowing for compact integration while maintaining functional independence of each component.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nested configuration where the high voltage generating module is positioned below the fan module, the battery module is integrated within the holding space formed by supporting portions, and the controlling circuit is embedded within the supporter structure. This nested arrangement maximizes space utilization and minimizes overall device volume.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional ozone generators are used, then oxidation reaction for eliminating peculiar smell and killing bacteria is achieved, but the device requires electrical wire power supply which limits placement locations
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates an internal battery module that provides self-contained power supply, eliminating the need for external electrical wire connections. The battery module is integrated within the device structure and directly powers the fan module and high voltage generating module, enabling the device to operate autonomously in locations without accessible power supplies.
3Volume of moving object
If device volume is reduced for small space application, then portability is improved, but internal component arrangement becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter structure is divided into multiple supporting portions (first, second, third supporting portions) that form distinct spatial zones for mounting different modules. This segmentation provides clear mounting locations for each component, simplifying the assembly process despite the compact overall volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement by positioning components at different heights and angles. The supporting portions form angles with each other, creating vertical and diagonal mounting surfaces. This multi-dimensional configuration allows efficient packing of components within limited space while maintaining ease of assembly through clearly defined mounting positions.
