Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If operators physically interact with the crane to control stabilizers and components, then direct control and reliability are improved, but operator trips increase and remote operation capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical control system with a wireless remote control system. The handheld remote control includes a wireless transceiver that communicates with the crane controller, allowing operators to control stabilizers and other components without physically approaching the crane. This substitution eliminates the need for operator trips while maintaining control reliability through wireless signal transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless communication system as an intermediary between the operator and the crane control system. The remote control device acts as a mediator, transmitting control signals wirelessly to the crane controller, which then actuates the stabilizers and other components. This intermediary enables remote operation while preserving the reliability of the control system.
2Measurement precision
If operators physically interact with the crane for component management, then direct monitoring and control precision are improved, but the number of trips and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical interaction with wireless communication for precise control. The handheld remote control transmits precise control signals wirelessly to the crane controller, which accurately actuates stabilizers and other components. This eliminates the need for operators to physically approach the crane, saving time while maintaining control precision through the wireless control system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the crane control system to respond automatically to wireless commands from the remote control. The controller receives wireless signals and autonomously executes control actions for stabilizers and other components, eliminating the need for manual physical intervention. This self-service capability reduces time loss while maintaining precise control through automated response to operator inputs.
3Ease of operation
If traditional control systems are used, then system complexity is minimized, but remote operation capability and operator convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical control systems with a wireless remote control system. The handheld remote control with wireless transceiver communicates with the crane controller, providing operators with the convenience of remote operation. While this increases system complexity by adding wireless communication components, it significantly improves ease of operation by allowing control from a distance without physical contact with the crane.
