Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a frame structure with hydraulic installation is used for tire cooling and stabilization, then the device can provide sufficient force for compression, but the device becomes prone to hydraulic leaks and requires complex structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the hydraulic installation with an electric motor (11) coupled to a securing socket (12) with a spline mechanism. This substitution eliminates hydraulic fluid and associated leakage risks while maintaining the necessary compression force through direct mechanical coupling between the electric motor and the compression elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and removes the hydraulic installation entirely from the system, replacing it with an electrically-driven mechanical system. This extraction eliminates the source of hydraulic leaks and simplifies the overall device structure by removing hydraulic pumps, reservoirs, and control valves.
2Force
If a complex frame structure is used for tire compression, then sufficient compression force can be applied, but the device becomes cumbersome and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the compression system into modular elements: a beam (1) with movable elements (3) that can be independently adjusted, each equipped with its own electric motor (11) and securing socket (12). This segmentation allows for simpler, more localized control of compression forces and easier operation compared to a monolithic frame structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The complex mechanical frame structure is replaced with a guided beam system where movable elements are constrained by guides (4) and actuated by electric motors. This substitution simplifies the operational interface and reduces the mechanical complexity while maintaining adequate compression capability.
3Shape
If compression force is increased for tire stabilization, then tire shape can be maintained, but the risk of overcompression and tire damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a control system that monitors the compression process and provides feedback to prevent overcompression. The electric motors (11) with securing sockets (12) enable precise control of compression force, and the system can detect and respond to tire stabilization completion, preventing excessive compression that would damage the tire.
Solution Approach 2:
The compression system is designed to be dynamic and adjustable, with movable elements (3) that can be precisely positioned along the beam (1) using guides (4). This dynamic capability allows the system to apply just enough compression force to maintain tire shape without exceeding safe limits, adapting to different tire conditions in real-time.
