Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If a single battery is used to power the head-mounted display device, then the device structure remains simple, but the usage time is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage timeVSAvoidpower supply system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply system is segmented into multiple independent battery units (main battery and auxiliary battery), each capable of independently powering the device. This allows the usage time to be extended by switching between batteries without requiring a single large complex battery system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple battery units are merged into a unified power supply system with automatic switching capability. The main battery and auxiliary battery work together as a coordinated system, where the switching module seamlessly transitions between power sources to provide continuous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Duration of action of moving object

If manual battery switching is implemented, then the usage time can be extended, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage timeVSAvoidbattery switching operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply system performs self-service by automatically monitoring battery status and executing switching operations without user intervention. The switching module detects when the main battery is depleted and automatically transitions to the auxiliary battery, maintaining continuous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the switching module continuously monitors the charge status of both batteries and uses this information to determine when switching is necessary. This feedback loop ensures seamless transition without requiring manual input from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Duration of action of moving object

If dual battery system with automatic switching is implemented, then the usage time is extended and ease of operation is maintained, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage timeVSAvoidswitching circuit module complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The manual mechanical battery switching operation is replaced with an electronic automatic switching system. The switching module uses electronic control circuits to automatically detect battery status and execute power source transitions, eliminating the need for manual mechanical intervention while maintaining system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
