Integrated Working Vehicle Controller for Export Light Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing working vehicles require multiple modifications, including changes in connections and settings, when specifications for indicator lights differ by destination for export, leading to inefficiencies and complexity.
Innovation Solution
A working vehicle with an integrated controller that stores driving and lighting conditions, allowing for easy adaptation to different destinations by storing and applying setting data via a connector, and featuring a single casing for controlling both the prime mover and indicator lights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If separate controllers are used for the prime mover and indicator lights to allow independent control, then control flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases and adaptation to different destinations becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the prime mover controller and indicator light controller into a single integrated controller. This integration maintains the ability to independently control both functions while reducing overall system complexity and eliminating the need for separate controller units, directly resolving the contradiction between control flexibility and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated controller is designed to perform multiple functions: controlling the prime mover, controlling indicator lights, and storing destination-specific setting data. This multi-functionality allows a single device to replace multiple separate controllers while maintaining all necessary control capabilities for different operational contexts
2Adaptability or versatility
If specifications for indicator lights are changed according to destination for export, then adaptability to different markets is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple modifications required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements destination adaptability by storing different setting data (parameters) for indicator light specifications in the integrated controller's storage unit. Depending on the destination, the controller retrieves and applies the appropriate setting data, allowing the same hardware to adapt to different market requirements without physical modifications
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing multiple sets of setting data corresponding to different destination specifications in the controller's storage unit. This allows the controller to quickly switch between different configurations without requiring real-time modifications or additional hardware changes when adapting to different export destinations
