Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If an LED array is used to display identification information, then night visibility is improved, but heat generation causes overheating problems
Solution Approach 1:
A heat dissipation structure composed of a heat dissipation plate and heat dissipation fins is introduced as an intermediary component between the LED array and the pet's body. The heat dissipation plate is thermally coupled to the LED array to conduct heat away, while the heat dissipation fins increase the surface area for heat dissipation to the surrounding air, preventing heat transfer to the pet's body
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is designed with different thermal properties in different regions: the heat dissipation plate and fins are made of thermally conductive materials to efficiently conduct and dissipate heat, while the portion contacting the pet's body is made of thermally insulating material to prevent heat transfer to the pet, creating localized thermal management zones
2Measurement precision
If a convex lens is used to enlarge small text, then text visibility is improved to a certain extent, but night visibility remains poor
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical/optical enlargement system (convex lens) is replaced with an electronic display system (LED array). The LED array can display identification information in large, clear segments that are inherently visible without requiring optical enlargement, and the electronic display can be illuminated to ensure visibility in all lighting conditions including nighttime
3Area of stationary object
If identification information is displayed on small font tags, then the device size is reduced, but recognition difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
Static printed text on small tags is replaced with an electronic LED display system. The LED array can display information in large, high-contrast segments that are easily recognizable from a distance, eliminating the need for small fonts while maintaining a compact overall device size through the flexibility of the display technology
