Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual methods are used to acquire position information on complex three-dimensional objects, then position information can be obtained, but the process becomes more difficult and time-consuming as the object shape becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a three-dimensional coordinate system model that replicates the complex surface geometry of the mounting target. This virtual model allows position information to be acquired through coordinate calculations rather than manual measurement, solving the problem of difficulty in acquiring position data on complex surfaces while maintaining high precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical measurement methods with a computational approach using three-dimensional coordinate systems. By substituting physical measurement processes with mathematical calculations in a virtual coordinate space, the system eliminates the operational difficulties associated with complex surface measurements while preserving measurement accuracy.
2Ease of operation
If teaching operations are performed on complex three-dimensional objects, then mounting positions can be designated, but mechanical interference and damage may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual three-dimensional coordinate system that replicates the mounting target surface. All teaching operations and position designations are performed in this virtual space rather than through physical interaction with the actual mounting target, eliminating mechanical interference and damage while maintaining full operational capability for position designation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a three-dimensional coordinate system as an intermediary between the operator and the mounting target. This virtual coordinate system serves as a mediator that allows position information to be acquired and transmitted without direct mechanical contact with the mounting target, thereby preventing mechanical damage while enabling complete position designation functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional methods are used for component mounting on three-dimensional objects, then planar surfaces can be handled, but complex curved surfaces and varied shapes cannot be effectively mounted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal three-dimensional coordinate system that can handle any surface geometry including planar surfaces, curved surfaces, and complex varied shapes. This single coordinate system approach provides universal adaptability across all mounting target types while maintaining high position information accuracy through mathematical calculations rather than geometry-specific methods.
