Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional pet mobility devices are used, then animals with leg disabilities can be supported, but the devices are bulky and impractical for indoor use
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate modular components including a harness assembly, a frame assembly with adjustable leg assemblies, and wheel assemblies. This segmentation allows the device to be compact when stored and easily adjusted for different animals while maintaining full support functionality when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The leg assemblies incorporate adjustable mechanisms that allow the device to adapt its configuration dynamically. The adjustable length and angle of the leg assemblies enable the device to be compact for storage yet provide adequate support when in use, resolving the contradiction between compactness and support reliability.
2Reliability
If traditional pet mobility devices are used, then animals can be supported, but custom fitting is required for each animal
Solution Approach 1:
The frame assembly includes leg assemblies with adjustable length and angle mechanisms, allowing the device to be customized for different animal sizes and disabilities. This dynamic adjustability enables a single device to fit multiple animals with varying requirements while maintaining reliable support.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed as a universal solution that can accommodate various animals with different leg disabilities through its adjustable components. The harness assembly and frame assembly work together to provide adaptable support for front leg, rear leg, or complete paralysis cases.
3Speed
If traditional pet mobility devices are used, then animals can move, but wheel positioning is not adjustable
Solution Approach 1:
The wheel assemblies are mounted on adjustable leg assemblies that can be positioned at different lengths and angles. This dynamic positioning capability allows the wheels to be optimally positioned for each animal's specific disability and movement needs, enhancing both speed and adaptability.
4Volume of moving object
If compact design is used, then device is furniture-friendly for indoor use, but may reduce support capability
Solution Approach 1:
The segmented modular design allows the device to be compact when disassembled for storage or transport, yet provides full support capability when assembled. The separate harness, frame, and wheel assemblies can be configured to provide adequate support while maintaining a compact footprint for indoor use.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable leg assemblies enable the device to achieve an optimal balance between compactness and support capability. When not in use, the device can be configured in a compact state, and when assembled, the leg assemblies can be extended to provide necessary support height and stability.
