Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wearable device is used to collect vibration parameters, then vibration collection is possible, but the device is inconvenient to wear during activities like running or swimming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wearable device system with a wireless vibration collector that uses electromagnetic signals for data transmission. The collector is attached to the object of interest and transmits vibration data wirelessly to a terminal device, eliminating the need for users to wear equipment during activities like running or swimming.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a wireless vibration collector as an intermediary device between the vibration source and the terminal device. This collector captures vibrations directly from the object and transmits data wirelessly, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for direct wearable contact while maintaining measurement capability.
2Reliability
If a dedicated collector is connected to collect vibrations from an external source, then vibration parameters can be obtained, but the operation becomes inflexible and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical connection system with a wireless transmission system. The vibration collector captures vibrations and transmits data wirelessly to the terminal device using electromagnetic signals, eliminating the need for physical connections and providing operational flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the vibration collection system dynamic and adaptable by using wireless transmission. The collector can be freely positioned and attached to different objects without being constrained by physical connections, allowing the system to adapt to various measurement scenarios and user needs.
