Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If imaging drive module integrates both focusing and image stabilization functions, then multi-functionality is achieved, but assembly complexity increases and product yield decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-functionalityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The imaging drive module is divided into separate focusing drive assembly and anti-shake drive assembly, each with independent guide structures. The focusing guide assembly includes guide slots and guide blocks, while the anti-shake guide assembly includes separate guide slots and guide blocks, allowing independent assembly and adjustment of each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If imaging drive module integrates multiple functions, then versatility improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-functionalityVSAvoidassembly precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The module is segmented into independent focusing and anti-shake assemblies, each with dedicated guide structures (guide slots and guide blocks), allowing separate manufacturing and quality control for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Independent guide structures act as intermediaries between the drive assemblies and the lens/image sensor, providing precise mechanical guidance and reducing the precision requirements for direct connections between multiple functional components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If handheld optical product operates during movement, then usability improves, but image quality deteriorates due to shaking

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveusabilityVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-shake drive assembly replaces passive mechanical stabilization with active electromagnetic driving (motor or voice coil), enabling dynamic compensation of hand-held shaking through controlled movement of the image sensor or lens assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
