Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the remote control is stored separately from the mobile air conditioner, then the packaging and transportation of the air conditioner is simplified, but the remote control is prone to loss and damage during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the storage box for the remote control into the mobile air conditioner housing. The storage box is movably connected to the housing, allowing it to be pulled out for access and pushed in for secure storage. This merging of the remote control storage function into the air conditioner unit itself eliminates the risk of loss and damage while maintaining convenient packaging and transportation.
2Ease of operation
If a storage box is added to the mobile air conditioner housing, then the remote control storage convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is designed with movable connection to the housing, allowing it to be pulled out and pushed in. This dynamic design provides operational convenience for accessing the remote control while maintaining a compact integrated appearance when stored, thus improving ease of operation without significantly increasing structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the storage box is always visible on the housing, then the remote control access is convenient, but the aesthetic appearance of the mobile air conditioner is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is designed to be movable, allowing it to be pulled out when needed for remote control access and pushed in when not in use. When pushed in, the storage box is hidden within the housing, maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the mobile air conditioner. This dynamic design resolves the contradiction between accessibility and aesthetics.
