Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cables are used for signal transmission between rotatable components, then signal transmission is achieved, but the cables become twisted and tangled leading to breakage and limited rotation range
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable-based signal transmission system with a wireless communication system. The signal integration module converts analog signals from tested components into communication signals that are transmitted wirelessly to the signal processing module, eliminating the need for physical cables connecting rotatable components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of tested components increases, then more signal transmission channels are needed, but the number of cables increases accordingly causing massive twisting and resistance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces multiple mechanical cable connections with a wireless communication system. The signal integration module integrates signals from multiple tested components and converts them into communication signals for wireless transmission, eliminating the need for multiple cables and their associated management complexities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple signal transmission functions into a single wireless communication channel. Instead of having separate cables for each tested component, the system integrates and transmits multiple signals wirelessly through the rotatable connection unit, reducing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If traditional cable connections are used for signal transmission during rotation, then electrical conduction is maintained, but the cables limit the range of relative rotation between components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection system with a wireless communication system. The rotatable connection unit enables wireless transmission of communication signals between rotatable components, maintaining electrical conduction functionality while allowing unrestricted rotation without cable constraints.
