Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If two metal electrode plates are used for detection and immediate high-voltage discharge is generated when triggered, then the mouse trapping response speed is improved, but user safety deteriorates as users can be electrically shocked
Solution Approach 1:
The single electrode plate is segmented into three independent electrode plates (first, second, and third electrode plates) arranged in sequence. This segmentation allows the system to require sequential triggering of multiple electrodes before activating high-voltage discharge, thereby preventing accidental shocks while maintaining rapid response to genuine mouse intrusion
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection actions by requiring the mouse to sequentially trigger the first, second, and third electrode plates before high-voltage discharge is activated. This preliminary multi-stage detection ensures that only genuine intruders who complete the full sequence trigger the harmful effect, while accidental contacts by users do not activate discharge
2Productivity
If high-voltage discharge is generated immediately when electrode plates are triggered, then the mouse trapping efficiency is improved, but safety protection deteriorates as foreign matter or humidity can cause accidental discharges
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system is segmented into three independent electrode plates that must be triggered in sequence. This segmentation creates multiple detection stages that differentiate between genuine mouse intrusion (which triggers all three plates sequentially) and false triggers from foreign matter or humidity (which cannot complete the full sequence), thereby enabling safe high-voltage discharge only when appropriate
Solution Approach 2:
The control circuit receives feedback signals from each electrode plate in sequence and processes this information to determine whether to activate high-voltage discharge. The feedback mechanism requires confirmation from all three electrode plates before triggering discharge, providing intelligent discrimination between genuine targets and false triggers while maintaining trapping efficiency
3Strength
If high-voltage discharge is generated when a mouse touches the electrode plates, then the mouse trapping capability is improved, but trapping completeness deteriorates as mice can run away before being fully trapped
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode system is segmented into three plates arranged in sequence within the cavity. This segmentation creates multiple detection points that ensure the mouse must traverse the entire cavity and trigger all plates to activate discharge, preventing escape and ensuring complete trapping while maintaining the effectiveness of the electric shock
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection at three sequential stages before activating high-voltage discharge. This preliminary multi-point detection ensures the mouse is fully committed to entering the trap and cannot escape after triggering only one or two plates, thereby guaranteeing trapping completeness while maintaining the shock's effectiveness
