Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional hand-operated jet injector is used, then the device is simple in structure, but the operation becomes complicated and causes finger strain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical triggering system with an automatic electrically-activated pushing mechanism. The power source (motor) automatically pushes the syringe plunger through the pushing board, eliminating the need for manual finger pressure on a trigger while maintaining the injection function.
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs the pushing action automatically once activated, without requiring continuous manual intervention. The electrically-activated mechanism self-regulates the pushing process, allowing the operator to simply activate the power source rather than continuously manual-operate the trigger.
2Reliability
If a hand-operated trigger mechanism is used, then the device structure remains simple, but finger injury risk increases due to repeated pressure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the manual trigger mechanism that causes finger injury by substituting it with an electrically-activated pushing system. The motor-driven mechanism removes the harmful repetitive finger pressure while maintaining the injection function, thereby improving reliability by eliminating the injury risk.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual triggering is used, then the device is easier to manufacture, but dosage control precision decreases due to potential clogging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a feedback module that monitors the injection process and detects syringe clogging conditions. When clogging is detected, the system provides feedback to the operator through visual or auditory signals, allowing for real-time dosage control and prevention of excessive tissue injection, thereby improving manufacturing precision of dosage delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The automatic electrically-activated pushing mechanism provides more consistent and precise dosage control compared to manual triggering. The motor can be precisely controlled to deliver accurate push forces, and the feedback system ensures any deviations are immediately detected and corrected, improving dosage control precision.
4Duration of action of moving object
If manual operation is used for extended periods, then the device requires fewer components, but operator fatigue increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual triggering action with an automatic electrically-activated pushing mechanism. This substitution eliminates repetitive finger strain and operator fatigue during extended procedures, allowing the device to maintain reliable operation throughout the entire duration of the injection process without compromising operator comfort.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates precise, ergonomic, and safe tissue injection with reduced operator fatigue and prevents excessive tissue injection by providing real-time alerts for syringe clogs.
Implementation Method 1
A reciprocating screw has a front end operatively connected to the power source after passing through the positioning member and a rear end fastened in the fastening member after passing through the threaded hole
Implementation Method 2
a feedback module is adapted to detect whether the power source operates normally or not, wherein in case of the syringe being clogged by the tissue in the injection procedure, a warning signal indicating abnormality is generated by a circuitry of the power source
