Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If long cables are used to connect control devices and film-and-television lights, then power supply and signal transmission are achieved, but the connection becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the connection system into modular components: coupler sockets integrated into housing units, and separate power supply units. This segmentation eliminates the need for long cables while maintaining reliable power transmission through direct contact between contacts in the coupler socket and power supply unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the power supply function and connection interface into an integrated coupler socket assembly. The coupler socket combines electrical contacts, power supply circuit, and housing integration into a single unit, simplifying the overall connection system between control devices and film-and-television lights.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple control devices and film-and-television lights are connected using long cables, then power distribution is achieved, but the connection process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
Each housing unit is equipped with its own integrated coupler socket and power supply unit, enabling independent connection and power distribution. This segmentation allows multiple devices to be connected simultaneously without requiring complex cable management, significantly improving connection efficiency when dealing with multiple units.
3Reliability
If traditional cable connections are used, then power transmission is achieved, but the risk of electric shock and equipment damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coupler socket acts as an intermediary between the power source and the film-and-television light. It includes protective structures such as housing enclosures and controlled contact mechanisms that mediate the power transmission process, reducing direct exposure to electrical components and minimizing the risk of electric shock and equipment damage.
