Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional manual wire cutting, stripping, and segmentation methods are used, then electrical connections can be established, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and labor-intensive with low production efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The wire is divided into multiple sections by the installation component, which includes multiple installation slots. Each slot can independently hold a wire section, allowing for simplified segmentation without manual cutting and stripping operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive component acts as an intermediary element that penetrates through the wire in the installation slot to establish electrical connection with the light source component. This mediator eliminates the need for manual wire stripping and connection.
2Ease of operation
If manual wire cutting and stripping operations are performed, then wire connections can be made, but the operation becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The installation component is pre-configured with installation slots that are designed to receive and position wire sections. The conductive component is pre-positioned to penetrate through these slots, eliminating the need for on-site wire cutting, stripping, and connection operations.
3Productivity
If threading nails are used to penetrate wire and establish electrical contact, then assembly is simplified and production efficiency improves, but wire positioning precision must be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The installation component provides localized guidance and positioning for the wire at specific installation slots. Each slot is designed with specific geometric features that ensure the wire is positioned correctly before the conductive component penetrates it, maintaining precision while enabling rapid assembly.
