Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a testing device is designed for a single type or size of camera, then the device structure is simple and manufacturing cost is low, but the device cannot test cameras of different types and sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting capability for different camera types and sizesVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is divided into multiple adjustable components including a first clamping component and a second clamping component that can be independently positioned and adjusted. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for specific functions while collectively providing adaptability to different camera types and sizes without requiring complete redesign of the entire device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The holder incorporates adjustable and movable components that can be dynamically reconfigured for different testing scenarios. The first and second clamping components can be positioned at different locations and adjusted to accommodate various camera dimensions, enabling the device to adapt to different testing requirements while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a testing device uses fixed test parameters, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot change test parameters according to different test requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest parameter adjustabilityVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The testing device integrates multiple functions into a unified platform, including adjustable illumination assemblies with variable intensity and angle, reconfigurable holder components, and adaptable clamping mechanisms. This multi-functionality allows the device to perform various testing operations with different parameters while maintaining a single device structure, avoiding the need for multiple specialized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the holder structure is fixed, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the holder cannot accommodate cameras of different sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera size accommodationVSAvoidholder manufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is segmented into multiple adjustable components including a first clamping component and a second clamping component that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the holder to accommodate different camera sizes through component adjustment rather than manufacturing entirely different holder structures, balancing manufacturing simplicity with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The holder components are designed with adjustable parameters such as position, angle, and clamping force that can be modified to accommodate different camera sizes. This parameter adjustability allows a single holder design to serve multiple camera types without requiring complex manufacturing processes for each specific camera size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
