Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the anti-shake coil is positioned close to the central hole of the base, then the overall device size can be reduced, but the coil deforms and exceeds the central hole due to assembly tolerance, occupying installation space and resulting in poor assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidcoil position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-shake coil is designed with a curved arc-shaped structure that matches the outer peripheral shape of the middle hole. This curvature allows the coil to follow the contour of the hole, ensuring it remains positioned outside the hole without deformation, thus resolving the conflict between compact size and positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

2Area of stationary object

If the anti-shake coil is positioned close to the central hole, then installation space is saved, but the coil exceeds the hole due to assembly tolerance, resulting in poor overall assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation spaceVSAvoidassembly quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The arc-shaped structure of the anti-shake coil is designed to match the outer peripheral shape of the middle hole, allowing the coil to be positioned as close as possible to the hole without exceeding it. This curved design accommodates assembly tolerances while maintaining proper positioning, thus saving installation space without compromising assembly quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Force

If the anti-shake coil maintains driving force, then OIS performance is ensured, but the coil structure becomes complex to avoid deformation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving forceVSAvoidcoil structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-shake coil adopts a simple arc-shaped structure that naturally follows the contour of the middle hole. This curved geometry provides both the necessary mechanical strength to prevent deformation and the appropriate magnetic field distribution to maintain driving force, achieving both goals without excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
