Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If slotting, drilling holes and distributing wires are used on cabinet shelves, then power supply to lamps is achieved, but assembly complexity and safety hazards increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power distribution system is segmented into modular power distribution boxes that can be independently installed and configured. Each box contains pre-organized wiring terminals and distribution circuits, dividing the complex wiring task into manageable modular units that simplify assembly and maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Wiring and power distribution pathways are pre-configured within the cabinet structure during manufacturing. Power distribution boxes are pre-assembled with connected wiring and terminals before installation, eliminating the need for on-site slotting, drilling, and wire distribution, thereby simplifying the assembly process and improving safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wires are set on the back board, then power distribution to multiple lamps is enabled, but safety hazards and assembly difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower distribution capabilityVSAvoidsafety
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Power distribution boxes serve as intermediary devices between the main power source and multiple lamps. These boxes consolidate multiple wire connections into organized terminal blocks and distribution circuits, enabling versatile power distribution while reducing the risk of wiring errors, loose connections, and safety hazards associated with direct multi-wire installations on the back board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
