Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the sensing portion is directly disposed on the chassis, then the assembly precision and measurement accuracy are improved, but the chassis structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing precisionVSAvoidchassis structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing portion is directly integrated onto the chassis structure, eliminating separate mounting brackets and intermediate components. This merging of the sensing module with the chassis framework achieves both high assembly precision and simplified overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If autonomous navigation and fluid management systems are added, then cleaning efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The chassis is designed as a multi-functional platform that simultaneously supports autonomous navigation sensors, fluid storage, fluid supply mechanisms, and sewage recycling systems. This universal base structure enables multiple cleaning functions without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The fluid storage apparatus, cleaning fluid supply system, and sewage recycling system are nested within and integrated with the chassis structure. Components are arranged in a hierarchical manner where smaller systems are contained within the overall chassis framework, optimizing space utilization and reducing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Manufacturing precision

If CNC processing and adjustable sensor mounting are implemented, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of manufacture decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
