Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network equipment is directly installed on poles in the city, then the installation requirements of network equipment are met, but the original road construction planning is disrupted and the aesthetic appearance of the city is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines network equipment installation with existing streetlight poles by integrating equipment cabinets, cable routing bases, and antenna assemblies into the pole structure. This merging allows network equipment to be installed without adding separate poles or disrupting road construction planning, thereby maintaining urban aesthetics while meeting installation requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The streetlight pole is designed to serve multiple functions: traditional illumination, network equipment installation, cable routing, and antenna support. The pole structure includes integrated components such as equipment cabinets for housing network devices, cable routing bases for cable management, and antenna assemblies for signal transmission, making it a multi-functional infrastructure that accommodates both aesthetic and technical requirements
2Adaptability or versatility
If network equipment is installed on streetlights, then the installation requirements are met, but the existing structure of streetlights cannot meet the installation requirements of various network and related equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The streetlight pole structure is segmented into distinct functional modules: the equipment cabinet for housing network equipment, the cable routing base for cable management, the antenna assembly for signal transmission, and the illumination components. This segmentation allows each component to be independently designed, installed, and maintained while collectively meeting the installation requirements of various network equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a nested structure where the equipment cabinet is integrated into the pole body, the cable routing base is positioned within the pole structure, and the antenna assembly is mounted on the pole. This nesting approach allows multiple network equipment components to be accommodated within the existing streetlight structure without significantly increasing its external dimensions or visual complexity
