Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user manually sets and preselects the working position, then the system is simple to operate, but the working position may not match the structural-part data record, leading to improper fitting and safety risks
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit automatically determines the working position by itself using the structural-part data record, without requiring manual intervention from the user. The system reads the data record, processes the information, and autonomously calculates the correct working position coordinates, making the system self-sufficient in position determination
Solution Approach 2:
The structural-part data record is prepared in advance with all necessary information including safety instructions and position requirements. This preliminary preparation of data enables the control unit to automatically determine the correct working position without manual intervention during operation
2Reliability
If the system automatically determines the working position based on structural-part data record, then safety requirements are satisfied and improper fitting is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit uses the structural-part data record as feedback information to automatically adjust and determine the correct working position. The system reads safety instructions and position requirements from the data record, processes this feedback information, and autonomously calculates the correct working position coordinates that satisfy all safety requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle various tasks: reading structural-part data records, processing safety instructions, calculating working positions, and controlling the mobile power tool. This universal control unit reduces the need for separate dedicated devices for each function
3Duration of action of stationary object
If manual position selection is used, then the device is easier to operate, but the lifetime of the structure is reduced due to improper fitting
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit automatically determines the working position by itself using the structural-part data record, without requiring manual intervention from the user. The system reads the data record, processes the information, and autonomously calculates the correct working position coordinates, making the system self-sufficient in position determination
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of position selection and marking is replaced by an automated electronic system. The control unit uses digital processing of the structural-part data record to calculate and determine the working position, substituting manual operations with electronic automation
