Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single-frequency radio frequency circuit is used for long-term operation, then the circuit structure is simple, but heat accumulation occurs and reliability of key components is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit structureVSAvoidreliability of key components
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The radio frequency circuit is divided into two groups (first group with first antenna, second group with second antenna) that operate in a time-sharing manner. This segmentation allows the system to switch between different signal groups, distributing the operational load and preventing heat accumulation in a single concentrated area, thereby improving reliability while maintaining reasonable structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control circuit implements periodic switching between the first and second signal groups at predetermined intervals. This periodic action ensures that no single group operates continuously, allowing heat dissipation time for each group and preventing thermal overload, thus maintaining component reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Device complexity

If a single-frequency radio frequency circuit is used, then the circuit design is simple, but the action area is too concentrated causing heat accumulation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit designVSAvoidheat accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit is segmented into two independent signal groups with separate antennas, each capable of operating independently. This spatial segmentation enlarges the action area from a single concentrated point to multiple distributed areas, reducing heat accumulation by spreading the energy distribution across different physical locations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between the first and second signal groups based on predetermined timing. This dynamic operation allows the action area to be distributed over time and space, preventing heat concentration in any single location while maintaining efficient circuit design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If a single-frequency radio frequency circuit is used for multiple times, then the operation is simple, but the load on key components increases reducing reliability

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The control circuit automatically performs periodic switching between signal groups at predetermined intervals, creating a simple yet effective load distribution mechanism. This automated periodic operation reduces the load on individual key components by sharing the operational burden across two groups, thereby improving reliability without complicating the operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system is designed to automatically switch between signal groups without requiring manual intervention. The control circuit self-manages the load distribution by implementing predetermined switching intervals, making the load reduction mechanism transparent and simple to operate while effectively protecting key components from excessive load

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
