Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple detection components are connected in parallel to the data control panel, then the data acquisition capacity is improved, but the time synchronization accuracy deteriorates due to varying connection paths
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing time compensation values for each detection component based on its connection type (parallel or series) and path characteristics. Before actual data acquisition, the system determines the connection type for each component and assigns appropriate compensation values, so that when sampling occurs, all components can be synchronized despite different connection paths to the data control panel.
2Device complexity
If detection components are connected in series, then the system complexity is reduced, but the data acquisition speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the system configuration adaptable rather than fixed. The data control panel dynamically determines the connection type (parallel or series) for each detection component based on actual connectivity, and adjusts time compensation strategies accordingly. This allows the system to optimize between complexity and speed for each component individually, rather than forcing a uniform connection architecture across all components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dynamic configuration of detection components is implemented, then the adaptability is improved, but the time management complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling each detection component to autonomously identify its own connection type (parallel or series) and retrieve its pre-calculated time compensation value from storage. The component performs self-testing of its connection path and automatically applies the appropriate compensation, eliminating the need for complex centralized time management and reducing the burden on the data control panel.
4Measurement precision
If time compensation is applied to all detection components, then the synchronization accuracy is improved, but the computational load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing differentiated time compensation strategies based on the specific connection characteristics of each detection component. Rather than uniformly applying complex compensation to all components, the system identifies components connected in parallel (which require compensation) versus those connected in series (which may not require compensation), and applies compensation only where necessary. This localized approach maintains synchronization accuracy while minimizing unnecessary computational load.
