Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If large-scale wind power generation apparatus is installed, then power generation capacity is improved, but initial construction costs increase and relocation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The wind power generation apparatus is divided into multiple small main bodies that can be arranged along the window trim frame. Each main body contains a blade, generator unit, and battery, creating modular segments that are easier and cheaper to manufacture than a single large-scale apparatus while collectively providing sufficient power generation capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from installing a single large-scale wind turbine to arranging multiple small main bodies along the linear dimension of the window trim frame. This dimensional approach allows distributed power generation along the building's perimeter, reducing individual unit costs while maintaining overall capacity.
2Power
If large-scale wind power generation apparatus is installed, then power generation capacity is improved, but relocation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the wind power generation system into multiple small, identical main bodies, each unit can be independently removed and reinstalled at different locations along the window trim frame or even relocated to other buildings, significantly improving relocation capability while maintaining power generation capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to be dynamically reconfigurable, allowing main bodies to be added, removed, or rearranged along the window trim frame according to changing needs or locations, making the power generation apparatus adaptable rather than fixed.
3Reliability
If solar cell equipment is installed, then eco-friendly power generation is achieved, but usability is limited to when solar energy can be supplied
Solution Approach 1:
The wind-powered main bodies generate electricity periodically whenever wind is available, complementing solar cell equipment that operates periodically when sunlight is available. This creates a more versatile hybrid system that can generate eco-friendly power under varying environmental conditions throughout the day and year.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple main bodies are arranged along window trim frame, then installation flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses identical, standardized main body segments that can be replicated along the window trim frame. This segmentation with standardization reduces installation flexibility requirements while actually simplifying the overall system through modularity and interchangeability of identical units.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple identical main bodies are merged along the window trim frame, sharing common structural support and electrical connection infrastructure. This merging approach reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate, non-standardized units, while maintaining installation flexibility through the modular design.
