Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If traditional motor-based propulsion systems are used, then the mobile vehicle can achieve sufficient driving power, but the device size and weight increase, limiting miniaturization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional motor-based mechanical propulsion systems with a fluid-based propulsion system. The power actuator uses fluid pressure to directly drive the mobile vehicle, eliminating the need for complex mechanical components such as motors, gears, and shafts. This substitution enables significant miniaturization while maintaining sufficient driving power, as the fluid pressure can be generated in a compact chamber and transmitted efficiently to move the vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs pneumatic or hydraulic principles by using a power actuator that generates fluid pressure to propel the mobile vehicle. The fluid pressure is generated within a confined chamber and used to push the vehicle forward, providing a compact and efficient propulsion mechanism. This approach allows the system to achieve high power density in a minimal volume, directly addressing the contradiction between driving power and device size.
2Power
If traditional motor-based propulsion systems are used, then the mobile vehicle can achieve required kinetic energy output, but the device becomes noisy during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates traditional mechanical propulsion components that generate noise during operation. By replacing motors and mechanical drive systems with a fluid pressure-based system, the source of mechanical noise is removed entirely. The fluid pressure propulsion operates silently, as it relies on pressure differentials rather than moving mechanical parts, thus maintaining kinetic energy output while eliminating noise pollution.
3Volume of moving object
If the mobile vehicle is miniaturized for high concealment and mobility, then the device becomes more versatile, but traditional driving devices cannot meet the requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent's fluid pressure propulsion system enables miniaturization by replacing bulky mechanical components with compact fluid-based actuation. This miniaturized design enhances concealment and mobility, allowing the mobile vehicle to access confined or sensitive environments. The versatility is improved as the compact design can be deployed in diverse application scenarios including surveillance, environmental monitoring, and exploration in hard-to-reach areas.
