Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If electric reels are equipped with detection units and display systems to visualize fish strike data, then the information availability and fishing experience are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple detection functions (rotation speed detection, current detection, voltage detection) into an integrated display system that processes and visualizes fish strike data through a unified interface, reducing the complexity of managing separate systems while providing comprehensive information
Solution Approach 2:
The display system acts as an intermediary between the motor's electrical parameters and the angler, translating complex electrical signals (current, voltage, rotation speed) into intuitive visual representations of fish pulling force, making the information accessible without requiring the angler to understand the underlying complexity
2Measurement precision
If the system integrates multiple detection units and calculation processes to calculate fish strike data, then the measurement precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the measurement process into distinct functional modules: rotation speed detection unit, current detection unit, voltage detection unit, and calculation units. Each module handles a specific aspect of the measurement, improving precision through specialized detection while managing complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary calculations by pre-storing rotation speed relationships and power relationships in memory, then uses these pre-processed data to calculate line speed coefficients and power coefficients, which are then integrated to determine fish strike data, reducing real-time computational complexity
