Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the hose length is configured for back-carrying method, then the readability is improved, but the hose becomes too long and may lead to hazardous entanglements when diving in chest position
Solution Approach 1:
The hose length is made dynamically adjustable through detachable sections that can be configured in different numbers depending on the carrying method. This allows the hose to be short for chest-carrying (avoiding entanglement) and long for back-carrying (ensuring readability), transforming a static design into a dynamic one that adapts to different operational conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The hose is divided into multiple detachable sections that can be connected or separated. This segmentation allows the user to assemble the appropriate hose length based on the carrying method being used, solving the contradiction between needing a long hose for back-carrying readability and a short hose for chest-carrying safety.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the hose length is configured for chest-carrying method, then the entanglement risk is reduced, but the readability becomes insufficient when diving in back position
Solution Approach 1:
The hose configuration is made dynamic and adaptable rather than fixed. Users can adjust the hose assembly by connecting or detaching sections to match the carrying method, ensuring optimal safety and readability for each specific diving scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The hose assembly system is designed to serve multiple functions and configurations. The same hose components can be assembled in different lengths to accommodate both chest-carrying and back-carrying methods, making the system universal rather than requiring separate hoses for each method.
3Adaptability or versatility
If replaceable hose components are used for adapting to different carrying methods, then the adaptability is improved, but the components become prone to damages, loss and wear
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple hose sections and connecting elements are merged into a single integrated assembly that is pre-configured for a specific carrying method. This reduces the number of separate replaceable components, thereby minimizing points of failure, reducing wear, and preventing loss while maintaining adaptability through dedicated assemblies.
4Manufacturing precision
If complex replacement and adaptation procedures are implemented, then the precision of adaptation is improved, but the effort and time required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The hose assemblies are pre-configured and pre-assembled in different lengths before use, with all necessary connections and components already in place. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex assembly procedures during diving operations, allowing users to simply attach the pre-prepared assembly corresponding to their carrying method, thereby reducing both time and complexity while maintaining precision.
