Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual selection and splicing of floor strips with different patterns is used, then flexibility in pattern combination is achieved, but workload increases and working efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses vision recognition technology to enable floor strips to automatically identify their own patterns and positions. The feedback control system automatically adjusts feeding sequences without manual intervention, achieving self-service operation that maintains pattern flexibility while eliminating manual workload.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical selection and splicing operations with an automated control system comprising vision recognition, feedback control, and automated feeding mechanisms. This substitution eliminates manual labor while maintaining the ability to create diverse pattern combinations.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual selection and splicing of floor strips is performed, then pattern matching can be achieved, but splicing errors occur and construction progress is influenced
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates vision recognition technology that continuously monitors and identifies floor strip patterns and positions. The recognition results are fed back to the control system, which automatically adjusts the feeding sequence to ensure correct pattern matching. This closed-loop feedback mechanism eliminates splicing errors caused by manual mistakes.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual visual inspection and pattern matching are replaced by automated vision recognition systems that use cameras and image processing algorithms to accurately identify floor strip patterns. This substitution eliminates human error and ensures consistent, reliable pattern matching throughout the splicing process.
3Productivity
If automated floor strip combination equipment is introduced, then working efficiency increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is designed to be universal and multi-functional, handling pattern recognition, position detection, feeding control, and error correction through a single integrated platform. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate devices and simplifies the overall equipment structure while maintaining high automation capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses vision recognition to create digital copies or representations of floor strip patterns and positions. These digital copies are processed by the control system to determine the optimal feeding sequence, replacing the need for complex physical sorting and handling mechanisms. This information-based approach simplifies the mechanical structure while achieving automated pattern combination.
