Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed specification electrical connection devices are used, then manufacturing and design are simplified, but adaptability to different testing scenarios and repairability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connection device is divided into multiple detachable modules: housing, cable module, and cable terminals. Each module can be independently replaced or configured based on testing requirements, enabling adaptability without redesigning the entire device.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized interface design allows the same housing to accommodate different cable modules and cable terminals, creating a universal platform that can perform multiple testing functions through module substitution rather than device-specific design.
2Ease of repair
If fixed specification electrical connection devices are used, then device complexity is reduced, but repairability when internal parts are damaged is eliminated
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the device into replaceable modules (cable module, cable terminals, housing), internal parts that become damaged can be individually replaced without replacing the entire device, directly improving repairability.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design enables damaged components to be discarded and replaced with new or refurbished modules, while functional modules can be recovered and reused in different configurations, reducing waste and repair costs.
