Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If shoe lights are tied on laces or directly attached onto soles, then mounting is achieved, but mounting and dismounting becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The shoe light system is divided into separable components: a mounting structure with clamping mechanism, a light emitting module, and a control module. This segmentation allows the light to be easily mounted and dismounted as a complete unit while simplifying the mounting process through the dedicated clamping structure.
Solution Approach 2:
A mounting structure with clamping mechanism serves as an intermediary component between the shoe surface and the light emitting module. This intermediary structure provides easy mounting and dismounting capabilities without requiring direct attachment of the light module to the shoe, thus resolving the contradiction between mounting ease and dismounting ease.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing shoe lights are used, then basic lighting function is provided, but color temperature switching capability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The shoe light system dynamically adjusts color temperature based on real-time pressure sensing data. The control module receives signals from the pressure sensing module and automatically switches between different color temperatures (warm white, cool white, or RGB modes) according to walking pace and activity level, providing adaptability without requiring complex manual controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates a feedback mechanism where the pressure sensing module continuously monitors foot pressure and sends signals to the control module. Based on this feedback, the control module automatically adjusts the color temperature of the light emitting module, enabling versatile color temperature switching while keeping the control mechanism relatively simple through automated feedback-based control.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pressure sensing module is added for walking pace detection, then color temperature switching capability is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pressure sensing module serves multiple functions: it detects walking pace, determines activity level, and provides input for color temperature selection. By making this single component multi-functional, the system achieves walking pace adaptation and color temperature switching capabilities without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module integrates multiple control functions into a single unit that processes signals from the pressure sensing module and controls the light emitting module's color temperature output. This merging of control functions reduces the overall system complexity compared to having separate control circuits for each function.
