Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If measurement points are set in a grid for extensive athletic grounds, then measurement coverage is improved, but work complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides real-time feedback by displaying the relationship between the current position of the measuring device and the planned measurement positions on a display unit. This allows operators to immediately see their progress and adjust their movement to efficiently reach the next measurement point, reducing time consumption while maintaining complete coverage of all grid points.
Solution Approach 2:
A position measuring device acts as an intermediary between the operator and the measurement task. It automatically tracks the current position and compares it with the planned measurement positions, eliminating the need for manual position tracking and calculation, thereby reducing work complexity and time consumption.
2Measurement precision
If numerous measurement points are identified and marked in grid pattern, then measurement completeness is improved, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic position identification and guidance without requiring manual marking or complex operational procedures. The position measuring device automatically identifies the current position, and the controlling unit automatically determines and displays the next measurement point, allowing the system to serve itself and reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical position marking and tracking with an electronic position measuring device that uses electromagnetic or optical fields to automatically determine position. This substitution eliminates the need for physical marking of measurement points and complex manual tracking procedures.
3Measurement precision
If illuminance measurement is performed at multiple varying illuminance levels, then measurement accuracy is improved, but work complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-planning the measurement points and organizing them in an efficient sequence before actual measurement begins. The controlling unit stores and manages multiple measurement points with their coordinates, and automatically guides the operator through them in an optimized order, reducing work complexity while maintaining measurement accuracy at multiple illuminance levels.
