Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If connecting wires are exposed for easy access, then ease of operation is improved, but safety deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of access to connectionsVSAvoidsafety

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate functional modules (computing apparatus, power source, controller, heat dissipation device) that can be independently accessed and maintained. The connection box serves as an intermediary segment that houses all electrical connections internally, eliminating exposed wires while maintaining modular accessibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A connection box is introduced as an intermediary component between the computing apparatus and power source. This connection box contains all electrical connections internally, acting as a mediator that eliminates the need for exposed connecting wires while maintaining electrical connectivity and safety.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If components are fixed rigidly for stability, then stability is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of maintenance

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The device structure is segmented into modular components (computing apparatus, power source, controller, heat dissipation device) that can be independently accessed, removed, and replaced. The connection box serves as a central hub that maintains structural integrity while allowing individual modules to be serviced separately.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a rigid fixed structure to a dynamic modular structure where components can be easily inserted and removed. The connection box provides stable electrical connections while the overall system maintains flexibility for maintenance through its modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
