Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual adjustment and diagnostic tools are used for secondary vehicle functions, then operational safety and comfort can be maintained, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate due to requiring external laptops and manual workshop adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperational safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control device is enhanced to perform both primary vehicle control functions and secondary analysis functions universally. By integrating the comparison module with the existing control device, the system can handle multiple functions including real-time parameter monitoring, state determination, and adaptive function execution without requiring separate external diagnostic tools, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The vehicle control system performs self-diagnosis and self-adjustment through the integrated comparison module that automatically compares acquired parameters with stored comparison lists and executes adaptive functions without external intervention. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual workshop adjustments and external laptops, reducing operational complexity while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 1:

Comparison lists containing parameter correlations and state definitions are pre-stored in the control device during system setup or manufacturing. This preliminary action enables the system to automatically determine vehicle states and execute adaptive functions without requiring manual workshop intervention during operation, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining reliability through pre-validated comparison criteria

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously acquires vehicle parameters, compares them with stored comparison lists, determines current vehicle states, and executes adaptive functions based on this feedback loop. This automated feedback mechanism replaces manual adjustment processes, making the system easier to operate while maintaining reliability through continuous monitoring and adaptive response

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

4Device complexity

If adaptive systems are developed with limited control functionalities, then development complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates due to limited secondary function utilization

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevelopment complexityVSAvoidadaptive capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The adaptive system is segmented into modular components: parameter acquisition modules that collect data from various sources, a comparison module that compares parameters with stored lists, state determination logic that identifies vehicle states, and adaptive function execution modules that implement responses. This segmentation allows independent development and testing of each module, reducing overall development complexity while enabling comprehensive adaptability through the integration of multiple specialized functions
