Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional shielding grounding is provided for the control system, then mild electromagnetic interference is reduced, but strong electromagnetic interference from multiple sources cannot be effectively shielded
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is segmented into multiple independent modules (boom-tail junction box, in-boom controller, cable drum controller) with separate shielding and filtering for each module. The cable drum is divided into multiple independent cable assemblies, each with its own shielding layer, allowing targeted protection against electromagnetic interference from different sources.
Solution Approach 2:
A dedicated shielding layer is introduced as an intermediary between the control signals and the external electromagnetic environment. This shielding layer, combined with filtering circuits at each module interface, acts as a mediator that blocks and filters electromagnetic interference before it reaches sensitive control components.
2Device complexity
If simple shielding grounding is used, then the structure remains simple and cost-effective, but it fails to protect against strong electromagnetic interference signals
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding system is segmented into multiple independent shielding layers distributed across different components (boom-tail junction box, cable drum, in-boom controller). Each segment provides localized protection, and the modular structure allows for easier implementation and maintenance compared to a single complex shielding system.
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding approach transitions from simple grounding to a multi-parameter system involving shielding material properties, filtering circuit parameters, and signal processing parameters. This allows the system to adapt to varying interference levels while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized modular components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple interference sources such as radar stations and power plants are present, then the operating environment becomes more challenging, but traditional shielding methods remain insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is divided into spatially separated modules along the telescopic boom, with each module equipped with its own shielding and filtering. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to interference from multiple directional sources (radar stations, power plants) by providing localized protection at each control node.
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding and filtering design is made universal across all control modules, using standardized shielding layers and filtering circuits that can handle various types of electromagnetic interference. This multi-functional approach allows the same protective measures to effectively counter interference from diverse sources including radar, broadcasting towers, and power plants.
