Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wireless communication function is integrated into electrical component, then communication performance is improved, but device complexity and difficulty of modification increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the wireless communication system into separate functional modules: a control unit (electrical component) and a wireless communication unit. This segmentation allows the wireless communication function to be independently designed, installed, and modified without affecting the core electrical component, thereby improving communication performance while maintaining system flexibility and reducing overall device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wireless communication unit is added to existing vehicle, then communication functionality is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a signal line into the vehicle body structure during the initial manufacturing process, establishing a pre-prepared communication pathway between the control unit and the wireless communication unit. This preliminary action simplifies subsequent assembly, as the signal transmission infrastructure is already in place, reducing manufacturing complexity while enabling flexible addition of wireless communication functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If electrical component design is altered to include wireless communication, then communication capability is improved, but production flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the control unit and wireless communication unit as separate but interoperable components that can function independently or together. The signal line serves as a universal communication interface that can accommodate different wireless communication standards and configurations. This universal design allows the system to adapt to various communication requirements without redesigning the core electrical component, maintaining production flexibility while enhancing communication capability.
