Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If intelligent clips and power supply cables are arranged in the refrigerator, then the refrigerator has intelligent food management capability, but the clips and cables become disorderly placed influencing taking and using
Solution Approach 1:
The door body is divided into multiple cable passing ports (first cable passing port in pre-embedded member, second cable passing port in installation and storage component, third cable passing port in door body) to organize different cables separately. The installation and storage component is segmented into fixed member and movable member with distinct functions, allowing clips and chips to be stored in an organized manner rather than disorderly placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The pre-embedded member acts as an intermediary structure embedded in the foaming layer of the door body, providing a dedicated cable passing port for the door body side cable. The installation and storage component serves as an intermediary between the door body and the clips/chips, providing a structured storage and installation space that prevents disorderly placement.
2Extent of automation
If control board and antenna board are installed in the refrigerator, then the refrigerator can read food information, but the assembly structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The control board and antenna board are merged into a single installation and storage component that is integrated with the movable member. This consolidated structure reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall assembly, making the automated food information reading system less complex while maintaining full functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The installation and storage component serves multiple functions: it stores the control board and antenna board for automated food information reading, provides cable passing ports for electrical connections, and integrates with the movable member for easy cleaning. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate components, thereby reducing assembly complexity.
3Reliability
If cable connections are made throughout the door body, then power and control signals can be transmitted, but the cable arrangement becomes disorderly
Solution Approach 1:
The cable routing is segmented into distinct paths through multiple cable passing ports: the door body side cable passes through the first cable passing port in the pre-embedded member, while the control side cable passes through the second cable passing port in the installation and storage component and the third cable passing port in the door body. This segmentation organizes cables along defined routes, preventing disorderly arrangement while maintaining reliable connections.
4Volume of moving object
If the clip assembly is made compact to save space, then space is saved, but the assembly stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The antenna board is nested within the installation and storage component, which is in turn integrated with the movable member. The control board is also housed within this nested structure. This nesting arrangement achieves a compact design that saves space while maintaining assembly stability through the hierarchical integration of components within the confined structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixed member and movable member are merged into a single installation and storage component that provides both structural support and functional integration. This merging creates a compact yet stable assembly structure that houses all necessary components (clips, chips, control board, antenna board) in a space-efficient manner while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
Provided is a refrigerating and freezing device, comprising a door body with a third cable passing port, a door body side cable, a clip assembly and a pre-embedded member with a first cable passing port. The clip assembly comprises an installation and storage component with a second cable passing port, and clips, a chip, an antenna board and a control board arranged in the installation and storage component. The control board is connected to a control side cable connected to a second terminal. The door body side cable connected to a first terminal passes through the first cable passing port. The control side cable connected to the second terminal passes in sequence through the second cable passing port and the third cable passing port, and is then connected to the first terminal at the first cable passing port.
