Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If various constituents are disposed in a small casing to enable portable operation, then the device achieves portability and independent operation, but sudden temperature changes from heat generation affect the wireless communication module and impair communication stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the device into multiple separate substrates (first substrate for light receiving element, second substrate for light emitting element, third substrate for power source circuit, fourth substrate for wireless communication module) to spatially separate heat-generating components from the wireless communication module. This segmentation allows independent thermal management and prevents heat transfer to the communication module while maintaining portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a battery as a thermal barrier/intermediary component positioned between the heat-generating constituents (light receiving element, light emitting element, power source circuit) and the wireless communication module. This intermediary absorbs and isolates heat, preventing sudden temperature changes from reaching the communication module while allowing all components to coexist in a compact portable form factor.
2Volume of moving object
If constituents are placed close together in a compact design, then the device achieves miniaturization and portability, but heat from light emitting element, light receiving element, and power source circuit directly influences the wireless communication module
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the device into four distinct substrates, each housing specific components. This spatial segmentation maintains compact overall device volume while creating thermal zones that prevent heat transfer from the light emitting element, light receiving element, and power source circuit to the wireless communication module.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery serves as a thermal intermediary barrier positioned between heat-generating components and the wireless communication module. This intermediary component enables close proximity arrangement of all constituents for miniaturization while blocking direct thermal influence on the communication module.
