Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a wire harness or wiring module extends widely on the roof part of a vehicle, then it can cover more areas and connect more components, but it becomes difficult to incorporate into the roof part
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring module is divided into multiple detachable connection units, each covering a specific roof area. These units can be separately installed and then connected together, making incorporation easier while maintaining wide coverage. The segmentation allows the large-area wiring module to be handled and installed in manageable portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The wiring module transitions from a three-dimensional bundled structure to a two-dimensional sheet-like configuration. This dimensional change allows the wiring to be laid flat on the roof surface, significantly improving ease of incorporation while maintaining the ability to cover large areas through the extended sheet structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wiring module is designed to accommodate different grades and optional components, then it becomes more versatile, but the design complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring module employs universal connection interfaces and standardized mounting structures that can accommodate different grades and optional components through configuration variations rather than design changes. The same basic module structure serves multiple functions across different vehicle specifications, reducing design complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The wiring module incorporates flexible connection elements and adjustable positioning features that allow it to adapt dynamically to different installation scenarios. This dynamic capability enables the same design to serve multiple grades and optional component configurations without increasing structural complexity.
