Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If wires are used to connect modules to power supply devices, then electrical connection is achieved, but resistance is relatively large resulting in power wastage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the connection medium by transitioning from thin wires to a bar-shaped connector with larger cross-sectional area. This parameter change reduces electrical resistance significantly, thereby reducing power wastage while maintaining reliable electrical connection between modules and power supply devices.
2Productivity
If multiple wire connectors are used to connect modules to power supply devices, then electrical connection is achieved, but installation efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple wire connectors into a single integrated bar-shaped connector. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components from multiple connectors to just one bar-shaped connector, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency while maintaining all necessary electrical connections.
3Device complexity
If wires and multiple connectors are used, then electrical connection is achieved, but the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential function of electrical connection from the complex wire-and-connector system and implements it through a simplified bar-shaped connector. This extraction removes unnecessary complexity while preserving the core electrical connection function, achieving a balance between structural simplicity and connection reliability.
