Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the motor rotation speed is predetermined and fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the shooting effects become monotonous and lack variety
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the motor rotation from a fixed state to a dynamically adjustable state. The MCU central processing unit enables real-time modification of rotation speed, direction, and acceleration based on shooting requirements, allowing the system to adapt to different shooting scenarios without changing the physical structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing the control system to modify motor operating parameters (rotation speed, direction, acceleration) through software instructions rather than hardware changes. This enables diverse shooting effects by changing control parameters while maintaining the same physical device structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the motor rotates at constant speed in one direction, then the control system is simple, but the photography and video effects become monotonous
Solution Approach 1:
The control system dynamically adjusts motor rotation characteristics including speed variations, directional changes, and acceleration patterns. The MCU processes control instructions to create variable rotation profiles that enable diverse shooting effects such as panning, tilting, and orbital movements.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system achieves multi-functionality by using a single motor to perform multiple rotation tasks. Through programmable control, the same motor can execute different rotation patterns (constant speed, variable speed, clockwise, counter-clockwise, oscillating) to support various shooting modes and effects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If programmable control instructions are added to the MCU, then the functionality is enriched, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical control mechanisms with electronic software-based control. Instead of using multiple physical switches, dials, or mechanical linkages to control motor parameters, the system uses programmable software instructions stored in the MCU, which can be updated and modified without physical changes to the device.
