Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional communication lines are used to transmit various signals, then manufacturing cost is low and installation is easy, but mutual interference between signals occurs and signal quality is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidsignal quality

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The communication line is segmented into distinct functional portions: a dielectric portion for transmitting first signals and at least one conductor portion for transmitting second signals. This segmentation allows different signal types to be transmitted through separate pathways, eliminating mutual interference while maintaining the ease of manufacture advantage of dielectric-based structures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The communication line structure is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: the dielectric portion transmits data signals while the conductor portion transmits control signals or power. This multi-functionality enables a single communication line structure to handle various signal types without requiring separate transmission media, thus maintaining ease of installation while improving signal quality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If conventional communication lines are used for signal transmission, then installation is easy, but signal leakage to the outside is excessive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstallation easeVSAvoidsignal leakage

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The communication line is divided into a dielectric portion and a conductor portion, each with specific shielding characteristics. The conductor portion can be configured to provide electromagnetic shielding for the dielectric portion, reducing signal leakage to the outside while maintaining the overall ease of installation of the integrated structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Length of moving object

If the length of conventional communication lines is increased, then transmission distance is extended, but signal attenuation and cumulative signal loss increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommunication line lengthVSAvoidsignal attenuation

Core Design Contradiction:

Length of moving objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the communication line into dielectric and conductor portions, each optimized for specific signal types, the transmission characteristics are improved. The conductor portion can provide better signal confinement and reduced radiation loss, allowing for extended transmission distances with lower signal attenuation compared to conventional single-structure communication lines.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of manufacture

If conventional communication lines are used, then manufacturing cost is low, but noise is generated in electronic devices around the communication line

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidnoise interference

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The communication line is segmented into a dielectric portion and a conductor portion, where the conductor portion can serve as a shield to contain electromagnetic fields. This segmentation reduces noise radiation to surrounding electronic devices while maintaining the cost-effectiveness of using dielectric materials for the primary signal transmission path.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
