Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the charged particle beam apparatus is miniaturized to reduce installation space and improve portability, then the apparatus size and installation area are reduced, but the performance and stability of the charged particle beam may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is divided into a main body unit containing the charged particle beam source and optical system, and a separate auxiliary unit containing the power supply. This segmentation allows the sensitive beam generation components to be miniaturized while the power supply can be optimized independently, resolving the contradiction between small size and stable operation.
Solution Approach 2:
A detachable mounting structure serves as an intermediary between the main body unit and auxiliary unit, enabling easy assembly and disassembly. This mediator allows the apparatus to be transported in a compact state while maintaining stable operation when assembled, addressing both portability and performance requirements.
2Ease of operation
If the apparatus is designed for easy transportation by separating main body and auxiliary units, then portability is improved, but the complexity of assembly and disassembly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is segmented into modular main body and auxiliary units that can be independently handled during transportation. This segmentation improves portability while the standardized interface design minimizes assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure between main body and auxiliary units is designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing for easy alignment and secure attachment. This dynamic design simplifies the assembly process despite the separated configuration.
3Ease of operation
If the main body unit is detachably mounted on the auxiliary unit, then the apparatus can be easily assembled and disassembled for transportation, but the connection stability between units may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable mounting structure creates separate but interoperable units, allowing easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining stable operation when connected. The segmentation enables simplified assembly procedures without compromising operational stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting interface incorporates curved or rounded features that facilitate easy alignment and attachment between units, simplifying assembly while ensuring stable connection during operation.
