1Measurement precision

If conventional scanning and modeling devices are used, then 3D modeling capability is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D modeling precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the light into multiple wavelengths (main light and sub-light) that travel along different optical paths after chromatic aberration, allowing separate detection and processing of depth information at different wavelengths. This segmentation enables precise 3D modeling while simplifying the overall device structure by using separate, specialized components for each wavelength path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A chromatic aberration member is introduced as an intermediary optical element that deliberately separates different wavelengths of light. This mediator creates distinct optical paths for main light and sub-light, enabling the system to achieve precise depth measurement through wavelength differentiation while maintaining a relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a single light source that emits multiple wavelengths (main light and sub-light) simultaneously, making the light source multi-functional. This universal approach eliminates the need for multiple separate light sources and detectors, reducing device cost while maintaining 3D modeling precision through wavelength-based depth discrimination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the wavelength parameter of light to achieve depth measurement differentiation. By using a chromatic aberration member to separate wavelengths and corresponding detectors to detect each wavelength's reflection, the system achieves precise 3D modeling with a simpler, more cost-effective single light source configuration rather than requiring multiple specialized components.

Solution Approach 1:

The space filtering member is made movable and adjustable, allowing dynamic optimization of the optical path. This dynamic adjustment capability enables precise filtering and selection of light paths for different wavelengths, improving measurement precision while the modular design keeps the added complexity manageable and adaptable to different measurement requirements.
