Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple types of calibration are performed using separate regions for each calibration type, then each calibration can be performed independently, but the device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of calibration marks (ejection timing calibration marks, position calibration marks, and nozzle state calibration marks) onto a single plate-shaped jig. This merging approach allows all calibration types to be performed using one integrated jig rather than requiring separate jigs for each calibration type, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining calibration accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The plate-shaped jig is designed to serve multiple calibration functions simultaneously. It contains different types of calibration marks that can be used for various calibration purposes (ejection timing, position, and nozzle state), making the jig universal and eliminating the need for multiple specialized jigs
2Reliability
If multiple test patterns are formed in different regions for each calibration process, then each calibration can be performed separately, but the area required for calibration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple calibration mark types into a single plate-shaped jig, consolidating what would otherwise require separate regions into one compact structure. This reduces the total calibration area while ensuring all necessary calibration functions are available
Solution Approach 2:
The patent arranges different types of calibration marks in different regions on the same surface of the plate-shaped jig, effectively utilizing two-dimensional space to accommodate multiple calibration functions without increasing the overall footprint or requiring three-dimensional stacking
