Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a dowel pin mounting method is used to determine relative position between bases, then alignment of cover plate and bonding indenter is achieved, but processing error and mounting error of dowel pin cause deviation in relative position

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical dowel pin positioning system with an optical measurement system. Image acquisition devices capture images of alignment marks on both bases, and image processing algorithms calculate the relative position and deviation. This substitution eliminates mechanical errors from dowel pin processing and mounting, achieving higher positioning accuracy through optical measurement and computational correction.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If several bonding experiments are conducted to calculate bonding error and adjust positioning thread gap, then center alignment of bases is achieved, but correction process becomes complex and cumbersome with large accuracy error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidcorrection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs alignment mark imaging and position calculation before the bonding process. By capturing images of alignment marks on both bases and calculating their relative positions in advance, the system determines the correction parameters needed for accurate bonding. This preliminary measurement and calculation eliminates the need for multiple trial bonding experiments, simplifying the correction process while improving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

3Manufacturing precision

If traditional dowel pin alignment method is used, then relative position between bases is determined, but multiple bonding experiments are required to achieve accurate alignment, reducing productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidalignment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces iterative mechanical trial-and-error alignment with a single-step optical measurement and computational correction system. Image acquisition devices and processing algorithms quickly determine the precise relative position of bases and calculate necessary corrections, eliminating the need for multiple bonding experiments. This dramatically reduces alignment time and improves productivity while maintaining high accuracy.

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