Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic control boards are assembled in the master unit, then the control functionality is improved, but the space occupied increases and layout becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple electronic control boards are merged onto a single mounting bracket, integrating multiple control functions into one consolidated structure. This reduces the total space occupied while maintaining all necessary control functionalities through vertical stacking and compact arrangement of the circuit boards on the bracket.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket utilizes three-dimensional space by extending in multiple directions (length, width, and height) to accommodate multiple electronic control boards vertically and horizontally. This dimensional approach allows efficient space utilization within the master unit by arranging boards in layers and rows rather than spreading them out in a single plane.
2Reliability
If multiple brackets are used to install electronic control boards, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple bracket structures are merged into a single integrated mounting bracket that can support multiple electronic control boards simultaneously. This unified bracket design maintains the reliability of multiple support structures while reducing overall device complexity by eliminating the need for separate brackets and simplifying the assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket is designed with multi-functional capabilities to perform multiple mounting tasks using a single structure. It can accommodate different sizes and types of electronic control boards through adjustable mounting positions and universal fixing mechanisms, thereby providing reliable support without increasing device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic control boards are arranged in a complex power distribution structure, then the control functionality is improved, but the layout difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex power distribution structure is segmented into modular sections on the mounting bracket, with each section handling specific power distribution tasks. This segmentation allows for organized wiring and easier layout by dividing the complex electrical architecture into manageable, standardized modules that can be independently arranged and connected.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting bracket serves as an intermediary structure that organizes and manages the complex power distribution between multiple electronic control boards. It provides structured mounting positions, routing channels, and connection points that simplify the layout process by mediating the complex electrical interconnections in an organized manner.
