Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If loading amount is calculated using only loading machine data, then calculation simplicity is maintained, but measurement precision deteriorates due to operator errors and bucket operation omissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the loading amount calculation systems of both the loading machine and transporting machine into a unified accumulation device. The device accumulates loading amounts from the loading machine and compares them with loaded amount data from the transporting machine, thereby improving measurement precision by cross-validating data from both sources rather than relying on a single machine's data alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The accumulation device implements feedback by comparing the accumulated loading amount data with the loaded amount data from the transporting machine. When discrepancies are detected, the system identifies accumulation failures and notifies the operator, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that improves measurement accuracy through continuous verification and correction.
2Measurement precision
If loading amount is calculated using transporting machine data, then measurement accuracy improves, but calculation reliability deteriorates due to variations in calculation accuracy for each transporting machine
Solution Approach 1:
The accumulation device serves multiple functions: it accumulates loading amount data from the loading machine, compares it with loaded amount data from the transporting machine, determines accumulation success or failure, and provides notifications. This multi-functional design ensures consistent and reliable calculation accuracy across different transporting machines by standardizing the verification process rather than relying on machine-specific calculations.
3Ease of operation
If bucket operation is not performed due to operator errors, then operation simplicity is maintained, but measurement precision deteriorates as accumulation of bucket load is overlooked
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the operator by comparing the accumulated loading amount with the actual loaded amount detected by the transporting machine. When discrepancies indicate missed bucket operations, the system notifies the operator, ensuring that operational simplicity does not compromise measurement precision through automated verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The accumulation device performs self-verification by automatically comparing its accumulated loading amount data with the loaded amount data from the transporting machine. This self-service mechanism detects accumulation failures caused by operator errors without requiring additional manual intervention, maintaining ease of operation while ensuring measurement precision.
