Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a sensing device that senses physical variation of environment is used to assist electronic system to switch operating modes, then the electronic system can automatically adapt to different environments, but significant errors occur due to other factors such as temperature, humidity and latitude, leading to misjudgment
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing device is divided into multiple independent sensing elements (first conductive element and second conductive element) that measure different physical quantities. This segmentation allows the system to separately detect pressure variations and other environmental factors, then process them independently to improve overall measurement precision while maintaining automatic operation.
Solution Approach 2:
A processing unit acts as an intermediary between the conductive elements and the electronic system control. This intermediary processes the raw sensing signals, compensates for environmental interference factors like temperature and humidity, and generates accurate control signals for operating mode switching, thereby resolving the contradiction between automation and precision.
2Measurement precision
If manual adjustment is used to switch operating modes, then the electronic system can be controlled, but it relies on manpower and is not efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing device enables the electronic system to self-adjust operating modes by automatically detecting environmental conditions through the conductive elements and processing unit. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual intervention while maintaining accurate control, as the system autonomously responds to environmental changes based on processed sensing data.
3Device complexity
If a single conductive element is used for sensing, then the device structure is simple, but the sensitivity and accuracy are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing function is segmented into multiple conductive elements (first and second conductive elements) with different configurations. This segmentation increases sensing sensitivity and accuracy by detecting different aspects of environmental variations, while the overall device structure remains relatively simple through the use of basic conductive components integrated with a processing unit.
