Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual designation of dumping position is implemented, then control precision is maintained, but operation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The work machine control device automatically designates the dumping position by acquiring position information and azimuth direction information of the unmanned transport vehicle, and calculating the dumping position based on these parameters. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual intervention in dumping position designation, thereby improving operation efficiency while maintaining control precision through automated calculations.
2Productivity
If automatic dumping position specification is implemented, then operation efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves as an intermediary that receives position information and azimuth direction information from the unmanned transport vehicle, processes this data through calculation algorithms, and outputs the designated dumping position. This intermediary approach automates the dumping position specification process, improving efficiency while managing system complexity through a centralized control mechanism that coordinates information flow between the transport vehicle and work machine.
3Loss of time
If automated control is implemented, then time consumption is reduced, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control device acquires position information and azimuth direction information of the unmanned transport vehicle in advance before the dumping operation. By performing this information acquisition and processing preliminarily, the system reduces the time required during the actual dumping operation, while efficiently managing information processing requirements through proactive data collection and calculation.
