Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electric tricycles with two or more seats are designed to meet higher living standards, then the vehicle can accommodate more passengers and provide better service, but the vehicle becomes relatively large and heavy, causing inconvenience in storage and movement
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle body is divided into separable components including the front frame assembly and rear frame assembly that can be disconnected and stored separately. The pedal assembly can also be folded or removed, allowing the vehicle to be disassembled into manageable parts for easy storage in small spaces or movement by individuals with limited strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle incorporates foldable or adjustable components such as the pedal assembly that can change configuration between use and storage states. The separable frame design allows dynamic transformation from a complete two-seater vehicle to smaller, more manageable components, enabling the same vehicle to adapt between providing passenger capacity and facilitating easy storage/movement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If electric tricyles with two or more seats are designed to meet higher living standards, then the vehicle can accommodate more passengers and provide better service, but the vehicle becomes relatively large and heavy, having difficulties in entering elevators and houses
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle is designed with separable frame assemblies that can be disconnected into smaller units. The front frame and rear frame can be separated, and the overall vehicle volume is reduced when disassembled, enabling entry into elevators and small spaces that would be inaccessible to a complete two-seater vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The foldable pedal assembly and separable frame components allow the vehicle to be compacted into a smaller configuration for storage or transport. When not in use, components can be nested or stored in compact arrangements, significantly reducing the effective volume of the vehicle system.
3Device complexity
If conventional electric tricycles are designed with basic functions only, then the structure remains simple and cost-effective, but they fail to meet the demands of people for higher living standards
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle uses a modular design with separable frame assemblies and foldable components that can be implemented using simple mechanical connections. This segmentation allows the vehicle to provide enhanced functionality (two-seater capacity, foldable features) while maintaining relatively simple structure and ease of manufacture, avoiding complex integrated systems.
