Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual observation and magnifier confirmation are used to mark defective position points, then marking accuracy can be ensured, but the operation process becomes complicated and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemarking accuracyVSAvoidoperational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the magnifying function and marking function into a single integrated device. The magnifying component and marking component are merged into one tool, allowing the worker to both magnify and mark defective position points without switching between different tools or performing separate confirmation steps with a magnifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The marking component is designed to automatically align with the magnified target position point through the adjusting component. This preliminary alignment action ensures that the marking is accurately positioned before the actual marking occurs, eliminating the need for post-marking confirmation with a magnifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If manual observation with naked eyes is used to identify defective position points, then the operation process is simple, but marking accuracy decreases due to potential human error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of marking processVSAvoidmarking accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the magnifying function and marking function into a single integrated device. The magnifying component and marking component are merged into one tool, allowing the worker to both magnify and mark defective position points without switching between different tools or performing separate confirmation steps with a magnifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnifying component serves as an intermediary between the worker's naked eye observation and the marking action. It provides optical magnification of the defective position point, allowing the worker to accurately identify the target location while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If post-marking confirmation with a magnifier is performed, then marking accuracy can be verified, but the operation time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification of marking accuracyVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The marking component is designed to automatically align with the magnified target position point through the adjusting component. This preliminary alignment action ensures that the marking is accurately positioned before the actual marking occurs, eliminating the need for post-marking confirmation with a magnifier.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The magnifying component provides real-time visual feedback of the target position point during the marking process. The worker can observe the magnified view and confirm the accuracy of the marking position before completing the marking action, ensuring reliability without requiring separate post-marking verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
