Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a micro SD card is used for data recording in unmanned vehicles, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but data reliability deteriorates and loss of information occurs when the card is damaged or lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoiddata reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the data recording function with a dedicated housing structure that integrates multiple protection mechanisms (electromagnetic interference shielding, crash protection) into a single unified system, rather than relying solely on a standalone micro SD card

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preventive measures by designing a protective housing with electromagnetic interference shielding and crash protection capabilities before data recording begins, ensuring data reliability is maintained even under adverse conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Device complexity

If a micro SD card is used for data recording, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information occurs and measurement precision of flight data deteriorates due to inability to verify data accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a protected copy of the data recording system within a specialized housing that maintains data integrity, effectively providing a redundant verification mechanism without significantly increasing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The protective housing serves multiple functions simultaneously: electromagnetic interference shielding, crash protection, and data verification, making the system universally applicable to various unmanned vehicle types without requiring separate specialized components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If data recording functions are customized for each unmanned vehicle structure and software, then adaptability to specific vehicles is improved, but device complexity increases and ease of manufacture deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of manufacture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal protective housing and data recording system that can be applied to various types of unmanned vehicles (drones, robots, etc.) regardless of their specific structure or software, maintaining ease of manufacture while providing adaptability through standardized interfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
