Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If existing lighting solutions are used in snowy conditions, then visibility is reduced, but adding LED safety lights increases protection against cold temperatures and moisture
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting system is divided into separate functional components: LED light strips for illumination, insulated electrical conduits for power transmission, and a protected junction block for electrical connections. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall system reliability in harsh conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite construction with thermally insulated electrical conduits combining conductive inner layers with insulating outer layers, and a junction block with inner and outer covers creating a protected composite structure. This composite approach simultaneously provides electrical conductivity, thermal insulation, and moisture protection.
2Duration of action of moving object
If LED safety lights are continuously powered from snowmobile auxiliary power, then illumination is maintained, but electrical connection reliability in cold conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connection system incorporates beforehand cushioning through insulated conduits and a protected junction block design. The inner cover houses electrical connections while the outer cover provides an additional protective barrier, cushioning the electrical system against cold temperatures and moisture before they can cause failure.
Solution Approach 2:
The insulated electrical conduits act as intermediaries between the power source and LED lights, protecting the electrical connection while allowing continuous power transmission. The conduit insulation serves as a mediator that blocks cold and moisture from reaching the electrical components while maintaining electrical conductivity.
3Use of energy by moving object
If electrical components are exposed to cold temperatures, then power transmission is efficient, but component failure from cold and moisture damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical conduits use composite construction with an inner conductive layer for power transmission and an outer insulating layer for thermal and moisture protection. This composite structure maintains efficient power transmission while blocking harmful environmental factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The conduit insulation and junction block covers serve as intermediary protective barriers between the electrical components and the harsh environment. These intermediaries allow power transmission to proceed efficiently while preventing cold and moisture from directly contacting the electrical components.
