Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the sensor and circuit board are connected via a lead to a terminal on the circuit board, then the sensor can be connected to the control circuit board for sensing and control, but the maintenance and replacement of the sensor or circuit board becomes laborious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The circuit board box is divided into functionally independent compartments: a sensor storage unit and a control circuit board storage unit. This segmentation allows the sensor and circuit board to be independently accessed, removed, and replaced without affecting each other, eliminating the need to disconnect leads during maintenance operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensor and circuit board are extracted from a unified mounting structure and placed into separate storage units within the circuit board box. This extraction enables independent maintenance of each component - the sensor can be removed from its storage unit without touching the circuit board or its connections to the air blower.
2Measurement precision
If the sensor is placed proximate to the air inlet for accurate temperature and humidity detection, then the sensing accuracy is improved, but the complexity of connecting the sensor to the circuit board increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor storage unit is integrated into the circuit board box structure, combining the functions of sensor housing, circuit board housing, and mounting structure into a single unified component. This merging eliminates the need for separate mounting brackets, leads, and connection terminals, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining accurate sensing capability.
