Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the power battery is directly placed in the transport box without temperature control, then the device complexity is reduced, but the battery life and power stability deteriorate due to uncontrollable temperature
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the transport box with temperature control functions by integrating heating and heat dissipating devices within the box structure. This merging of transportation and temperature management functions resolves the contradiction by maintaining battery reliability without significantly increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The transport box is designed to perform multiple functions: transportation, heating, and heat dissipation. This multi-functionality allows the single device to maintain battery temperature control while keeping the overall system compact, resolving the contradiction between device complexity and battery reliability.
2Reliability
If heating and heat dissipating devices are added to control temperature, then battery life and power stability improve, but the device complexity and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The heating and heat dissipating devices are integrated into the transport box structure rather than being separate units. This merging approach maintains battery power stability while minimizing the increase in device complexity by sharing the transport box's structural components.
3Duration of action of moving object
If multiple batteries are carried for extended flight time, then the flight duration increases, but the total weight and carrying burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The heating and heat dissipating devices enable batteries to be stored in optimal temperature conditions during waiting periods. This continuous temperature management maintains battery performance readiness, allowing for more efficient utilization of multiple batteries and reducing the need to carry excessive spare batteries.
