Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If up-down combination structure is adopted for day-night honeycomb curtains, then privacy protection and light blocking functions are improved, but structure complexity increases and production difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The curtain system is divided into two independent curtain assemblies (first and second) that operate separately but work together to achieve the day-night function. Each assembly can be controlled independently, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the privacy protection and light blocking functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from the traditional up-down combination structure to a left-right parallel arrangement of two curtain assemblies. This dimensional change simplifies the control mechanism and reduces structural complexity while achieving the same functional goals.
2Reliability
If up-down combination structure is adopted for day-night honeycomb curtains, then privacy protection function is improved, but production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the curtain into two independent assemblies with separate control mechanisms, each component can be manufactured and assembled more easily, improving production efficiency while maintaining the privacy protection function.
3Reliability
If high technical requirements are imposed on production assembling and accessories, then curtain functionality is improved, but after-sales costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The independent modular design of the two curtain assemblies allows for easier maintenance and repair. If one assembly fails, the other can continue to function, and replacement of individual components is simpler, reducing after-sales costs.
Solution Approach 2:
The simplified control mechanism and independent assemblies enable easier user operation and basic troubleshooting, reducing the need for professional service interventions and lowering after-sales costs.
4Reliability
If complex control requirements are imposed on day-night curtains, then functionality is improved, but overall price increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is divided into two independent control mechanisms, one for each curtain assembly. This segmentation simplifies the overall control logic compared to a unified complex system, making the curtains more affordable while maintaining full functionality.
