Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional sensor mounting structures are used with protrusions snapped into through holes, then the ultrasonic sensor can be secured in the bumper, but different mounting structures are required for different bumper thicknesses, leading to increased device complexity and reduced productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate different bumper thicknesses. The fixation member includes a through-hole that receives the ultrasonic sensor, and the shelter part covers the front circumferential edge of the through-hole. This standardized design eliminates the need for different mounting structures for different bumper thicknesses, reducing device complexity while maintaining secure mounting across various applications.
2Reliability
If conventional sensor mounting structures are used with protrusions snapped into through holes, then the ultrasonic sensor can be secured in the bumper, but multiple design variations are needed for different bumper thicknesses, reducing production efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly provides a standardized, thickness-adaptive solution that can be used across different bumper specifications. The fixation member with its through-hole design and the shelter part covering the through-hole create a universal mounting structure that eliminates the need for multiple design variations, thereby streamlining the production process and improving productivity.
3Ease of manufacture
If the fixation member and shelter part are integrally formed, then manufacturing is simplified, but flexibility in assembly and adjustment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate different bumper thicknesses. The fixation member includes a through-hole that receives the ultrasonic sensor, and the shelter part covers the front circumferential edge of the through-hole. This standardized design eliminates the need for different mounting structures for different bumper thicknesses, reducing device complexity while maintaining secure mounting across various applications.
