Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operating devices are provided to control multiple movement operations of aircrafts, then the control functionality is improved, but the structural complexity and control complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single operating device is designed to perform multiple control functions by detecting its orientation in space through a gyroscope chip. The device can control movement in multiple directions (forward, backward, left, right) by changing its angular position, eliminating the need for multiple separate operating devices while maintaining comprehensive control functionality
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple operating devices are merged into a single operating device that utilizes spatial orientation detection. The gyroscope chip enables one device to sense angular changes and translate them into multiple directional control commands, combining the functions of what would traditionally require multiple separate devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple operating devices are provided to control multiple movement operations of aircrafts, then the control functionality is improved, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The single operating device is equipped with a gyroscope chip that detects its angular orientation in three-dimensional space. By universally responding to spatial orientation changes, the device can control multiple movement directions through a unified control mechanism, simplifying the control process while maintaining comprehensive functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The operating device automatically detects its own angular orientation through the gyroscope chip and self-determines the appropriate control commands. This self-service capability eliminates the need for complex control logic and multiple devices, as the single device autonomously translates its physical orientation into corresponding movement directions
