Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If total waterproofing of electronic elements and electrical connections is implemented, then reliability of underwater display is improved, but device complexity and ease of repair deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into modular panels, each with its own waterproof housing. This segmentation allows individual panels to be sealed independently, reducing the overall complexity of waterproofing the entire system while maintaining high reliability through localized sealing solutions.
Solution Approach 2:
Electronic elements are extracted and housed in dedicated waterproof boxes that can be independently sealed and replaced. This extraction allows the waterproofing function to be isolated to specific components rather than requiring total system waterproofing, simplifying the overall design.
2Reliability
If total waterproofing with delicate operations is implemented, then reliability is improved, but ease of repair and productivity worsen due to pool drainage requirements
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display into independent waterproof panels, maintenance can be performed on individual panels without affecting the entire system. This allows quick replacement of defective panels while the pool remains filled, dramatically improving maintenance productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
Defective panels or electronic components can be extracted and replaced independently without draining the pool. The modular design with external waterproof housing allows components to be accessed and replaced from above water level, maintaining high productivity.
3Ease of repair
If modular box-shaped elements with removable interconnection are used, then ease of repair is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into standardized modular panels with uniform interconnection mechanisms. This segmentation enables easy replacement of individual panels while the standardized connectors keep the interconnection complexity manageable through repetition of simple, proven designs.
