Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If electrical items such as circuit board and battery are embedded in wearable electronic device for wireless use, then wireless functionality is achieved, but weight increases and wearability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable electronic device is divided into multiple segments including a head-mounted device and a body-mounted device. Electrical items are distributed between these segments rather than concentrated in one location, reducing the weight burden on any single body part and improving overall wearability while maintaining wireless functionality.
2Ease of operation
If electrical items are distributedly arranged to reduce load concentration, then wearability improves, but wiring structure becomes complex and visible
Solution Approach 1:
The wiring structure is designed with nested channels where inner channels are positioned within outer channels. This nested arrangement allows multiple wiring paths to be organized in a compact, hierarchical manner, concealing the complexity of the wiring system while maintaining the distributed arrangement of electrical items for improved wearability.
3Reliability
If wiring connects distributed electrical items, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but wiring becomes visible and aesthetics deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Wiring channels are designed with nested structures where inner channels are positioned within outer channels. This nesting conceals the wiring paths within the device structure, maintaining electrical connectivity between distributed components while hiding the wiring from external view to preserve aesthetic appearance.
4Adaptability or versatility
If adjusting mechanism is added to improve wearability, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wearing frame incorporates a flexible hinge that enables dynamic adjustment of the device to fit different head shapes and sizes. This flexible connection provides adaptability for improved wearability while using a simple hinge mechanism rather than complex mechanical structures, thus minimizing the increase in device complexity.
