Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If external electrical cables and fluid tubes are used to connect dispersed components, then electrical connection and fluid connection can be realized, but the structure becomes complicated and integration level decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the electrical connection and fluid connection functions into a single connector component. The connector contains both electrical contacts for power signal transmission and fluid channels for coolant flow, eliminating the need for separate cables and tubes. This merging of multiple connection types into one integrated component reduces structural complexity while maintaining reliable electrical and fluid connections between the battery, motor, and control unit.
2Reliability
If external electrical cables and fluid tubes are used between components, then connection can be achieved, but shock resistance, water resistance, and dust prevention become poor
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating electrical and fluid connections into a single sealed connector assembly, the patent creates a unified interface that is inherently more resistant to external environmental factors. The integrated connector can be designed as a sealed unit that protects both electrical contacts and fluid passages from water ingress, dust contamination, and mechanical shock, overcoming the vulnerabilities of separate external cables and tubes.
3Reliability
If a great number of complicated electrical cables and fluid tubes are used, then electrical and fluid connections can be established, but the motorcycle becomes heavier and energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple electrical cables and fluid tubes into a single integrated connector assembly. This reduction in the number of separate connection components directly decreases the overall weight of the power system. The integrated design maintains all necessary electrical and fluid connection functionalities while using fewer materials, thereby reducing weight and associated energy consumption for motorcycle operation.
4Reliability
If battery, motor, and control unit are dispersed at different positions, then electrical connection can be realized, but internal space utilization rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated connector enables more compact arrangement of the battery, motor, and control unit by providing a unified connection interface that combines electrical and fluid pathways. This allows the components to be positioned closer together in a more space-efficient configuration, improving internal space utilization while maintaining reliable electrical and thermal management connections.
