Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a single integrated skateboard design is used, then the device is simple in structure, but the loading space is limited and propulsion power is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloading spaceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The skateboard is divided into multiple independent skateboard bodies (first, second, third skateboard bodies) that can be connected together. Each skateboard body has its own propulsion module, allowing the system to be segmented for easier manufacturing and maintenance while providing expanded loading space and increased total propulsion power when multiple bodies are connected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Power

If multiple skateboard bodies are connected together, then propulsion power is improved, but the device becomes more complex and harder to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepropulsion powerVSAvoidmaintenance difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

Each skateboard body is equipped with an independent propulsion module that can function autonomously. This segmentation allows individual modules to be maintained or replaced without affecting the entire system, significantly improving ease of repair despite having multiple connected bodies for increased propulsion power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows dynamic configuration by connecting or disconnecting skateboard bodies based on power requirements. When high propulsion power is needed, multiple bodies are connected; when maintenance is required, bodies can be disconnected and individual modules serviced independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If the loading component is permanently fixed, then structural stability is improved, but transportation and maintenance costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidtransportation and maintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The loading component is designed with a detachable connection mechanism that allows it to be firmly attached during operation for structural stability, but easily detached for transportation and maintenance. This dynamic connection system provides both stability when needed and ease of handling when the skateboard needs to be moved or serviced.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Device complexity

If battery and propulsion modules are integrated, then device complexity is reduced, but replacement and maintenance become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodule integration levelVSAvoidmodule replacement difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The battery module and propulsion module are segmented as separate, independently replaceable units within each skateboard body. This segmentation allows individual modules to be quickly swapped out for maintenance or replacement without disassembling the entire skateboard body or affecting other modules, reducing maintenance difficulty while maintaining manageable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
