Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If unmanned aerial vehicles are carried and controlled separately from mobile communication terminals, then the UAV can be operated independently, but it becomes difficult to transport and control conveniently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the UAV and mobile communication terminal into an integrated system where the UAV is kept within a hangar part of the terminal. The terminal's controller serves dual purposes: controlling the terminal itself and controlling the UAV when extracted, eliminating the need for separate control devices and improving operational convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile communication terminal is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a communication device and as a control system for the UAV. The controller can operate the terminal's camera, display, and communication functions while also controlling the UAV's flight and camera operations, reducing the need for additional dedicated equipment.
2Ease of operation
If the UAV is integrated within the mobile communication terminal, then transportation becomes easier, but the terminal structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The UAV is nested within the hangar part of the mobile communication terminal when not in use. The hangar part acts as a protective housing that contains the UAV, allowing the entire system to be transported as a single compact unit while maintaining access to the UAV when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal structure is segmented into distinct functional parts including the hangar part for UAV storage, the controller for operation, and the power supply system. This modular segmentation allows for easier integration and maintenance while reducing overall structural complexity through organized functional zones.
3Ease of operation
If a sliding cover is added for easy access to the UAV, then manipulation becomes easier, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding cover provides dynamic access to the UAV, transitioning from a closed protective state to an open accessible state. This movable cover allows users to easily extract the UAV when needed while maintaining protection during transport, balancing accessibility with protection through a simple mechanical movement.
4Use of energy by moving object
If solar power generation system is integrated for battery charging, then energy self-sufficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The solar power generation system enables the UAV and terminal to charge their own batteries using solar energy. The system includes solar panels that convert sunlight to electrical energy, automatically charging the batteries without requiring external power sources, making the system energy-self-sufficient during operation.
