Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If external sensors or photo detection methods are used to detect tire deformation, then measurement capability is provided, but cost increases and accuracy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The detection structure is embedded within the tire itself, with sensor elements integrated into the tire layers. This nesting approach eliminates the need for external detection equipment while maintaining accurate deformation measurement, directly resolving the contradiction between measurement accuracy and system cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex external mechanical sensor systems with a simplified embedded structure that uses the tire's own mechanical properties for detection. This substitution reduces device complexity and cost while preserving measurement precision.
2Reliability
If external detection systems are used, then deformation monitoring is enabled, but reliability and real-time accuracy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
By nesting the detection structure within the tire, the system achieves more reliable real-time deformation data since the sensors move with the tire and directly measure its structural changes. This eliminates reliability issues associated with external systems that may not accurately capture internal tire dynamics.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional detection methods are applied, then some tire conditions can be monitored, but applicability to wider array of tire conditions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The embedded detection structure is designed to monitor multiple tire conditions simultaneously, including deformation, pressure changes, and structural integrity. This multi-functional capability increases adaptability to various tire conditions while maintaining measurement precision through integrated sensing.
