Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional wiring work is performed on transport members, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but the work time varies significantly and reliability is affected by worker skill level

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivity reliabilityVSAvoidwiring work time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The transport member is divided into modular units with standardized wiring sections. Each transport member includes a frame portion with integrated wiring components and a connector portion, allowing the wiring system to be segmented into replaceable modules that can be quickly assembled without manual wiring work.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Wiring components are pre-assembled and pre-connected during manufacturing. The transport members come with pre-attached connectors and wiring harnesses already configured, so that during assembly operations, the wiring is automatically connected when the transport members are coupled together, eliminating the need for on-site wiring work.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If traditional wiring work is performed on transport members, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but the work quality depends on worker skill level

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivity reliabilityVSAvoidwiring assembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The wiring system is segmented into standardized modular components with uniform connection interfaces. This segmentation allows any worker to assemble the wiring system using simple coupling operations rather than requiring skilled manual wiring work, thereby improving both ease of manufacture and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connector design provides universal compatibility across different transport member units. A single standardized connector type can connect various transport member configurations, making the assembly process simple and reliable regardless of the worker's skill level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If modularized wiring structure is implemented, then wiring work time is reduced and reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring assembly productivityVSAvoidwiring structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

While segmentation increases the number of components, it reduces the complexity of each individual component and the overall assembly process. The wiring system is divided into standardized modules with simple connection interfaces, making the total system easier to manufacture and assemble despite having more parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
