Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple calibration elements are used to detect different data and measurement modes, then the calibration coverage is improved, but the operation complexity and possibility of human errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple calibration features (first shape feature for depth calibration, second shape feature for width calibration, and color feature for colorimetric calibration) into a single integrated calibration element. This allows the detection system to perform multiple types of calibration (depth, width, color) using one element rather than multiple separate elements, thereby maintaining comprehensive calibration coverage while simplifying the operation and reducing the risk of human errors associated with selecting and replacing different calibration elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration element is designed with multi-functional capabilities by incorporating diverse calibration features that can detect different data and measurement modes. The single calibration element serves multiple purposes: it provides depth information through first shape features, width information through second shape features, and color information through color features. This universal design enables one calibration element to replace multiple specialized calibration elements, improving operational ease while maintaining comprehensive calibration coverage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different calibration elements are replaced at the detection site, then different data and measurement modes can be detected, but the production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple calibration functionalities into a single calibration element that contains diverse calibration features. This eliminates the need to replace different calibration elements at the detection site for different measurement modes. The detection system can acquire depth data from first shape features, width data from second shape features, and color data from color features all from one calibration element, thereby maintaining comprehensive detection capability while significantly improving production efficiency by avoiding repeated replacement operations.
3Ease of operation
If conventional calibration elements with single data and measurement mode are used, then the operation is simple, but the calibration efficiency and production efficiency are low
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration element is designed with universal multi-functional capabilities, incorporating first shape features for depth calibration, second shape features for width calibration, and color features for colorimetric calibration. This allows a single calibration element to perform multiple calibration tasks that would otherwise require different calibration elements. The operation remains simple as the user only needs to place one calibration element, while the calibration efficiency and production efficiency are greatly improved due to the comprehensive calibration capabilities embedded in the single element.
