Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If carbon fiber material is used for bed board, then strength and rigidity are improved, but material cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses basalt fiber composite materials as an alternative to carbon fiber. Basalt fiber composites provide comparable strength and rigidity properties while significantly reducing material cost. The composite structure combines basalt fibers with appropriate matrices to achieve the required mechanical performance for bed boards in medical imaging apparatuses.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the material parameter from carbon fiber to basalt fiber, which has different cost characteristics while maintaining adequate mechanical properties. This parameter substitution allows the bed board to meet strength requirements without incurring the high costs associated with carbon fiber materials.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If fiberglass is used for MR bed board, then anti-magnetic properties are achieved, but overall performance is inferior to carbon fiber
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs basalt fiber composite materials that combine the anti-magnetic properties needed for MR applications with improved strength characteristics. Basalt fiber composites offer a superior balance compared to traditional fiberglass, providing both the required non-magnetic properties and enhanced mechanical performance for bed board applications.
3Ease of manufacture
If basalt fiber bed board is used, then material cost is reduced, but load-bearing capability must be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops basalt fiber composite materials with optimized formulations that maintain adequate load-bearing capability while reducing material cost. The composite structure and fiber orientation are designed to provide sufficient strength for supporting examination subjects in medical imaging applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality enhancement by optimizing basalt fiber distribution and composite structure in critical load-bearing areas of the bed board. This ensures that cost-effective basalt fiber materials meet the required strength standards where they are most needed.
