Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If no disc storage system is provided, then the disc golf course remains simple and unobtrusive, but players lack a convenient means to store and manage their discs during play
Solution Approach 1:
The disc holder is divided into multiple components: end plates, mounting brackets, and tubes. This segmentation allows the system to be assembled in a straightforward manner while providing functional disc storage, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting brackets serve as intermediary elements that connect the end plates to the mounting structure. This intermediary component simplifies the overall assembly process and provides a stable base for the disc holder, making the system both convenient and structurally sound.
2Ease of operation
If a disc holder is installed on a wall or post, then discs can be stored conveniently during play, but the mounting structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting brackets are designed to be universally applicable to various mounting surfaces such as walls, posts, or other fixed structures. This multi-functionality allows the same component to serve multiple mounting scenarios, reducing the need for different specialized parts and simplifying the overall structure while maintaining disc accessibility.
3Ease of manufacture
If the disc holder uses simple components, then the assembly is easier and less complex, but the structural stability and durability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The end plates and mounting brackets are merged into a unified assembly that works together to provide both simple assembly and structural stability. The combination of these components creates a reliable mounting structure that is both easy to assemble and durable enough for outdoor disc golf use.
