Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional centralized automotive manufacturing is adopted to achieve mass production and cost reduction, then production efficiency and capital efficiency are improved, but vehicle design uniformity limits functionality and safety, and carbon emissions increase
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle is divided into separate modular components: a standardized chassis platform for mass production and customizable vehicle bodies for specific functionalities. This segmentation allows the chassis to be manufactured centrally with high efficiency while enabling diverse vehicle configurations through different body assemblies, thus resolving the contradiction between mass production efficiency and vehicle adaptability.
2Power
If advanced materials and components are enhanced to provide higher torque for high speed travel, then vehicle performance is improved, but design becomes egocentric and resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs variable torque motors that can adjust their output based on actual driving conditions rather than consistently providing maximum torque. This parameter change allows the vehicle to achieve high performance when needed while consuming fewer resources during normal operation, resolving the contradiction between power output and resource consumption.
3Reliability
If centralized manufacturing controls vehicle styles and functionalities to maintain safety and integrity, then production uniformity is improved, but market diversity and consumer needs are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The standardized chassis platform serves as a universal base that can support multiple vehicle body types and configurations. This universality allows a single chassis design to meet safety and integrity requirements while accommodating diverse vehicle styles and functionalities through interchangeable body assemblies, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability.
4Device complexity
If electric vehicles are designed with traditional transportation functionality only, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but consumer needs and sustainability requirements are not fully met
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle system is segmented into a standardized electric chassis platform and customizable body modules. This segmentation maintains the simplicity of the core electric propulsion system while allowing diverse functionality to be added through different body configurations, thus resolving the contradiction between device complexity and adaptability.

Function Achieved in This Case
The smart mobile vehicle increases safety, reduces carbon emissions, and adapts to various environments, offering a sustainable transportation solution that encourages eco-friendly practices and value sharing, while addressing the limitations of traditional electric vehicles by enabling on-road and water travel and improving vehicle safety through its circular structure.
Implementation Method 1
an inflatable tire attached to the chassis and cabin base that can form a complete damping plane with motion
Implementation Method 2
two standing large diameter wheels and a circular/enclosed tubular chassis... considering dual large circular shape wheel assembly provides greater impact resistance and can be easily serviced without a perfect working horizontal
