Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each functional unit is separated and independently sealed in watertight pressure chambers, then each unit can complete corresponding functions independently, but it leads to high installation cost, low overall reliability, and complex installation and construction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functional units (sensor unit, data acquisition unit, control unit, and communication unit) into a single integrated pressure-resistant shell, eliminating the need for separate watertight chambers and inter-unit connections. This integration reduces installation complexity and improves overall system reliability by removing connection points that could fail.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated pressure-resistant shell serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical protection, maintains pressure resistance, enables data acquisition, and facilitates communication. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate specialized chambers for each function, simplifying installation while maintaining reliability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different units are configured and redeveloped in advance according to application configuration, then specific application requirements can be met, but it leads to high installation cost and complex installation and construction
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated pressure-resistant shell contains distinct functional modules (sensor module, data acquisition module, control module, communication module) that can be independently configured and replaced. This segmentation allows adaptive connection for different applications without requiring complete redevelopment, reducing installation costs while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic configuration capabilities where functional modules can be selectively activated or deactivated based on application requirements. The control unit can dynamically allocate resources and configure communication protocols, enabling adaptive connection without physical reconfiguration or redevelopment.
3Productivity
If each functional unit is separated from each other, then each unit can be independently developed, but it is impossible to realize rapid configuration and adaptive connection for different application scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-integrates all necessary functional units and their connection interfaces within the pressure-resistant shell during manufacturing. This preliminary integration establishes standardized connection protocols and physical interfaces, enabling rapid configuration for different applications without requiring complex assembly or reconfiguration of separate units.
