Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If customized computing platforms are developed for specific construction machinery scenarios, then the automatic driving operating performance is improved, but the system complexity and manufacturing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic driving operating performanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by developing a standardized computing platform that can serve multiple construction machinery scenarios through configuration rather than customization. The platform uses a unified hardware architecture and operating system that supports different application scenarios (excavation, transportation, loading) by loading appropriate service packages and configuration files, eliminating the need for scenario-specific hardware modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the computing platform into modular components: a standardized base platform, configurable service packages, and scenario-specific application modules. This segmentation allows the core platform to remain simple and universal while enabling complex functionality through modular additions that can be independently developed, deployed, and maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If customized computing platforms are developed for specific construction machinery scenarios, then the automatic driving operating performance is improved, but the manufacturing and maintenance costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic driving operating performanceVSAvoidmanufacturing and maintenance costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs by creating a universal computing platform that can be mass-produced with standardized components. The same hardware platform and operating system are used across different construction machinery types, enabling economies of scale in manufacturing and simplifying maintenance through standardized parts and procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes to adapt the universal platform to different scenarios without physical modification. By changing software configuration parameters, service package selections, and application module configurations, the same hardware platform can be optimized for different construction machinery scenarios, eliminating the need for costly custom manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If a universal computing platform is developed to serve multiple scenarios, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to specific scenarios deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to scenarios
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the computing platform configurable and adaptable through software rather than fixed hardware. The platform can dynamically load different service packages, adjust configuration parameters, and switch between application scenarios based on runtime requirements, maintaining low system complexity while achieving high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring service packages and application modules that can be selectively activated for different scenarios. The universal platform comes with pre-built functionality that can be configured for specific scenarios without requiring complex customization, achieving both simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Productivity

If scenario switching requires redeployment and selection of application programs, then the processing efficiency decreases, but the scenario management precision is improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidtime for redeployment and selection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring service packages and application modules that are ready for immediate activation. Scenario switching is achieved by selecting from pre-prepared configurations rather than deploying new programs, eliminating redeployment time and maintaining high processing efficiency during scenario transitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic scenario switching through software configuration changes that take effect immediately without system restart or redeployment. The computing platform can dynamically activate different service packages and application modules based on current operational requirements, achieving fast scenario transitions while maintaining precise scenario management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present application relates to the technical field of construction machinery, in particular to an automatic driving operating method and apparatus for construction machinery, an electronic device and a system. The method includes: acquiring current environmental information of construction machinery under a target application scenario; determining, after determining the target application scenario, a target service scenario corresponding to the current environmental information based on a corresponding relationship between environmental information and a service scenario; querying, when the target service scenario is inconsistent with a current service scenario, a service operation logic of the target service scenario in a global configuration file, the global configuration file including at least one service scenario under the target service scenario, a service operational logic of each service scenario, and a logical relationship between the service scenarios; generating a target application program under the target service scenario based on the service operational logic of the target service scenario; and performing automatic driving operating control on the construction machinery based on the target application program.
