Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If power regulation is implemented using computer programs, then power can be regulated, but the cost increases and user control is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces computer program-based power regulation with a hardware-based dip switch system. The dip switches provide direct mechanical control over power regulation parameters, eliminating the need for software control and enabling straightforward user access to power settings without requiring programming or complex digital interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The dip switch configuration allows users to directly control and adjust power parameters without requiring external computer control or software intervention. The system provides self-contained user control where the dip switches directly interface with the power regulation circuitry, enabling users to independently manage power settings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed power settings are used, then device complexity is reduced, but user convenience and practicability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the power regulation control into multiple discrete dip switch units, where each switch independently controls a specific power parameter or level. This segmentation allows users to combine different switch states to achieve multiple power levels, providing adaptability without requiring a complex continuous control system.
Solution Approach 2:
The dip switch configuration enables dynamic power level adjustment by allowing users to change switch states according to different usage requirements. The system transitions from fixed power settings to a dynamically adjustable configuration where power levels can be modified by simple switch operations.
3Ease of operation
If computer program-based power regulation is used, then power control capability is improved, but user accessibility and ease of use worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces abstract software-based power control with tangible mechanical dip switches that users can physically manipulate. This mechanical interface provides direct, intuitive control over power parameters, making the system accessible to users without requiring computer literacy or software interaction skills, while maintaining precise power control through the hardware implementation.
