Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If accessories use internal batteries, then they can operate independently, but they require frequent battery replacement or complete accessory replacement for extended use
Solution Approach 1:
A power source device is introduced as an intermediary component between the firearm and accessories. This device includes a rechargeable battery bank with output ports that connect to accessories via cables, allowing accessories to be powered externally without requiring internal batteries or complete accessory replacement.
2Reliability
If accessories are powered by internal batteries, then they maintain operational independence, but frequent battery replacement is required
Solution Approach 1:
The power source device features a rechargeable battery bank that can be charged in advance through a charging port. This preliminary charging action ensures that the battery bank is ready to provide extended power to multiple accessories without interruption, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements during operation.
3Duration of action of moving object
If a power source device is integrated into the firearm, then extended power supply to accessories is achieved, but the complexity of the firearm system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power source device is designed with universal functionality, featuring a rechargeable battery bank with a charging port for recharging and multiple output ports for powering various accessories simultaneously. This multi-functional design consolidates power management into a single device, reducing overall system complexity while providing extended power supply capability.
