Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the number of electricity storage modules is increased in an integrated configuration, then the storage capacity is improved, but the size and weight of the electricity storage pack increase, decreasing transport efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The electricity storage pack is divided into multiple independent module units, each containing a subset of electricity storage modules. This segmentation allows the pack to achieve high storage capacity through parallel connection of multiple lightweight modules, rather than using a single large integrated unit, thereby improving transport efficiency while maintaining required capacity.
2Quantity of substance
If the number of electricity storage modules is increased in an integrated configuration, then the storage capacity is improved, but the size of the electricity storage pack increases, decreasing work efficiency at installation
Solution Approach 1:
The pack is segmented into standardized module units that can be independently handled and installed. This segmentation enables parallel installation processes and reduces the time required to install large-capacity packs compared to installing single large integrated units.
Solution Approach 2:
Each module unit is pre-assembled with necessary components (protection members, wiring, base plate) before delivery to the installation site. This preliminary assembly reduces on-site installation time and complexity, allowing for faster deployment of high-capacity packs.
3Device complexity
If an integrated configuration is used, then the structure is simplified, but the installation space requirements are fixed and inflexible
Solution Approach 1:
The pack structure is segmented into modular units that can be independently positioned and configured. This segmentation provides flexibility in installation space utilization, allowing the modules to be arranged in different configurations to adapt to various installation environments while maintaining structural simplicity through standardized module designs.
4Volume of moving object
If components are integrated on a single base plate, then the assembly is compact, but routing wiring becomes difficult when connecting modules located away from each other
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is segmented into multiple routing regions with dedicated wiring channels for different signal types (power, signal, communication). This segmentation allows wiring to be systematically routed between modules located at different positions, maintaining compact module design while simplifying the wiring routing process through organized, dedicated pathways.
