Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional camera module testing methods are inefficient due to the need for testing from limited positions, leading to high manufacturing and maintenance costs, especially with the use of semi-circular charts which are costly and difficult to manage.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus with a guide means forming an arc shape around the object, allowing a testing means to move along the arc and approach or distance from the object, equipped with gradations for position measurement, and a chart unit that can rotate and emit light, enabling testing from various positions with a simple configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a semi-circular chart is used to test from various positions, then testing coverage is improved, but manufacturing and maintenance cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting coverageVSAvoidmanufacturing and maintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The semi-circular chart is divided into multiple separate charts arranged in a semi-circle, each chart can be independently manufactured and replaced. This segmentation reduces the cost of manufacturing and maintenance compared to making one large semi-circular chart, while still providing comprehensive testing coverage from various positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If testing is conducted from limited positions, then device complexity is reduced, but testing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting efficiencyVSAvoidtesting apparatus complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The chart is made movable along the semi-circular guide, allowing the testing apparatus to dynamically change positions from limited fixed points to multiple positions along the arc. This dynamic positioning enables testing from various positions (improving testing efficiency) while maintaining a relatively simple apparatus structure (guiding the movement along a predetermined arc path).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
