Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing analysis devices for detection chips are used, then detection functionality is provided, but portability and detection simplicity do not meet market requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the positioning sub-module, operation sub-module, and detection sub-module into a single control module that works cooperatively. The operation sub-module merges multiple operation parts (first operation part for release operation, second operation part for press operation) into one integrated unit, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining detection simplicity through coordinated automated operations
Solution Approach 2:
The control module is designed with multi-functional capabilities, where the operation sub-module can perform both release operations (first operation part) and press operations (second operation part) on the detection chip. This universal design allows a single device to handle multiple detection tasks, improving ease of operation without proportionally increasing device complexity
2Measurement precision
If automated mechanical operations are performed on the detection chip, then detection precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control module is segmented into distinct functional sub-modules: positioning sub-module (with accommodating structure), operation sub-module (with first and second operation parts), and detection sub-module. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function, improving detection precision through specialized operations while managing overall complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The operation sub-module acts as an intermediary between the positioning sub-module and detection sub-module. It performs automated mechanical operations (release and press operations) on the detection chip, ensuring precise positioning and operation without requiring direct complex interaction between positioning and detection components, thus improving detection precision while controlling complexity
