Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If acupuncture and moxibustion technologies are used for therapy, then treatment effects can be achieved, but accurate alignment with acupuncture points is difficult leading to inconsistent treatment effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical positioning with an automated image recognition system using cameras and computer vision algorithms to detect and locate acupuncture points, thereby improving alignment precision and treatment effect consistency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy or model of the patient's anatomical features through image capture and processing, allowing the system to identify acupuncture points by comparing against stored reference data without requiring manual expert identification
2Power
If microwave and magnetic therapy devices are applied, then therapeutic energy can be delivered, but improper positioning and dosage may cause potential harm
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback control system where the image recognition technology continuously monitors the position of therapy devices relative to acupuncture points, and the system automatically adjusts power delivery based on detected positioning accuracy and individual patient anatomy, thereby preventing harmful effects from improper positioning or excessive dosage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically adjusts therapy parameters such as microwave power and magnetic field intensity based on real-time positioning data and individual patient characteristics identified through image analysis, ensuring optimal therapeutic effect while minimizing potential harm
3Measurement precision
If universal joints and adjustable mechanisms are used for precise positioning, then correct positional relationship can be maintained, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical positioning mechanisms with an automated image-guided positioning system that uses computer vision to calculate and guide device placement, thereby achieving high positioning precision while reducing mechanical complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs universal joints and adjustable mechanisms that can adapt to various body parts and acupuncture point locations, allowing a single device design to serve multiple positioning requirements without requiring highly complex custom mechanisms for each application
