Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the connecting wire is disposed on the outer side of the tree for easy assembly, then the assembly process is simplified, but the connecting wire is exposed to the environment and field of vision, leading to instability and aesthetic issues
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting wire is nested inside the tree structure by inserting it through holes in the tube bodies and branches. The wire is concealed within the hollow interior of the tree components, protecting it from environmental damage while maintaining electrical connectivity between sections.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting wire is enclosed within protective coverings formed by the tube bodies and connectors. The hollow tube structures act as protective shells that shield the wire from moisture and physical damage while allowing the tree to maintain its decorative function.
2Ease of operation
If the connecting wire is disposed on the outer side of the tree for easy assembly, then the assembly process is simplified, but the tree lacks aesthetic appeal and decorative effect
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting wire is nested inside the tree structure by inserting it through holes in the tube bodies and branches. The wire is concealed within the hollow interior of the tree components, protecting it from environmental damage while maintaining electrical connectivity between sections.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting wire is extracted from the external surface and relocated to the interior of the tree structure. By removing the wire from the visible outer surface and placing it inside the hollow tube bodies, the aesthetic appearance is improved while the wire remains functional.
3Reliability
If separate circuit parts are assembled for the tree-shaped light, then the electrical connection can be established, but the assembly becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board is merged with the connector assembly, forming an integrated electrical connection component. The connector includes built-in contact points and circuit pathways that automatically establish electrical connections when tube bodies are joined, eliminating the need for separate circuit assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrical connection components are pre-assembled into the tube bodies during manufacturing. Circuit boards and connectors are installed in advance, so that during final assembly, users only need to join the tube bodies together without performing complex electrical wiring or circuit assembly.
4Device complexity
If the connecting wire is exposed to the environment, then the assembly structure is simple, but the wire is prone to moisture damage and environmental degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting wire is nested inside the tree structure by inserting it through holes in the tube bodies and branches. The wire is concealed within the hollow interior of the tree components, protecting it from environmental damage while maintaining electrical connectivity between sections.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting wire is enclosed within protective coverings formed by the tube bodies and connectors. The hollow tube structures act as protective shells that shield the wire from moisture and physical damage while allowing the tree to maintain its decorative function.
