Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional transmission line installation methods are used, then installation can be performed with simple equipment, but installation success rate decreases and manual labor increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates sensors that detect the position of the transmission line during installation and provide real-time feedback to the control unit. The control unit adjusts installation parameters based on this feedback to ensure successful completion of the installation process, thereby improving reliability without requiring overly complex manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission line conveying apparatus automatically adjusts its operation based on detected line position and conduit geometry, reducing the need for manual intervention and monitoring. The system self-regulates to maintain optimal installation conditions, improving success rate while managing complexity through automation.
2Length of moving object
If transmission line is installed over long distances, then data transmission capability is improved, but installation completeness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Before installing the transmission line, the system performs route evaluation to detect the geometry of the conduit in advance. This preliminary action allows the control unit to plan the installation path and adjust parameters proactively, ensuring complete installation over long distances while maintaining precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical installation methods with an automated conveying apparatus that uses sensors and control algorithms to monitor and adjust the installation process. This substitution enables precise control over long-distance installation, ensuring completeness that would be difficult to achieve manually.
3Ease of manufacture
If duct geometry is unknown, then installation setup is simplified, but installation accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs route evaluation before installation to detect the actual geometry of the conduit. This preliminary detection provides accurate geometry information without complicating the setup process, as the detection is automated and integrated into the installation workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit dynamically adjusts installation parameters based on the detected duct geometry. By changing parameters such as conveying speed, tension, and positioning in response to measured geometry, the system achieves high installation accuracy while maintaining simple setup procedures.
4Reliability
If multiple splices are used to complete installation, then installation reliability is improved, but transmission quality decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses real-time feedback from sensors to monitor the position and status of the transmission line during installation. This allows the control unit to make adjustments that prevent installation failures, achieving reliability without needing to create multiple splice points that would degrade transmission quality.
