Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional modular windows and doors are installed by connecting multiple modules, then the window and door can be assembled from separate parts, but accumulated installation errors occur causing screw holes to become misaligned
Solution Approach 1:
The window and door system is divided into separate modular components (window components and door components) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. Each module contains integrated sealing structures that maintain alignment precision while enabling modular construction.
Solution Approach 2:
Sealing components serve as intermediary elements between adjacent modular units. These sealing components include sealing blocks with positioning features and sealing adhesive strips that simultaneously provide sealing function and alignment reference, preventing error accumulation at joint interfaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional windows and doors are designed as connected modular units, then assembly flexibility is improved, but transportation becomes difficult when carried as a whole
Solution Approach 1:
The complete window or door assembly is segmented into smaller, standardized modular components that can be separately transported and later assembled on-site. This segmentation reduces the size and weight of individual transport units while maintaining overall system functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Sealing components and connection structures are pre-installed on modular units during manufacturing. This preliminary action ensures that when modules are transported and later assembled, the sealing and alignment functions are already in place, reducing on-site installation complexity.
3Reliability
If sealing structures are added between adjacent window components, then sealing performance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing function is merged with the structural connection between modular components. Sealing blocks are integrated into the module frames, and sealing adhesive strips are applied to mating surfaces, combining sealing, positioning, and connection functions into unified structures rather than separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing components serve multiple functions: they provide weather sealing, maintain thermal insulation, facilitate module alignment during assembly, and enable mechanical connection between adjacent units. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components.
