Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional force-adjustable pull fitness devices are used, then pull force can be adjusted, but the device becomes heavy and occupies large area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical force-adjustment mechanisms with an electromagnetic motor system controlled by electronic circuits. The motor-driven reel system with electronic control achieves variable pull force without the heavy mechanical components of traditional adjustable resistance devices, thus reducing overall device weight while maintaining force adjustability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameter from mechanical adjustment to electronic control. By using a motor with variable speed control and electronic feedback, the pull force can be adjusted by changing motor rotation speed and torque parameters, eliminating the need for heavy mechanical adjustment mechanisms while providing continuous variable resistance.
2Device complexity
If single motor is used to drive pull rope, then device structure is simple, but shakes and vibrations occur during exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two motors positioned asymmetrically on opposite sides of the reel axis, driving the reel in opposite directions. This asymmetric configuration creates balanced counteracting forces that cancel out vibrations and shakes during operation, improving exercise stability while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The two motors function as counterbalancing elements, with one motor's rotational force compensating for the vibrations and shakes generated by the other motor during pull exercise. This counterweight principle eliminates the instability issues of single-motor systems without significantly increasing device complexity.
3Force
If high power motor is used to provide sufficient pull force, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but motor load increases and service life decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two motors providing partial pull force each, rather than one motor providing excessive force. This distributes the mechanical load, reducing stress and heat generation on each motor, thereby extending service life while maintaining sufficient total pull force for effective exercise.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system implements periodic duty cycles, adjusting motor operation intensity based on exercise phase and user feedback. The motors operate at variable power levels rather than constant high power, reducing cumulative thermal load and extending motor service life while maintaining exercise effectiveness through controlled intermittent high-force output.
