Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If each dyeing system uses its own dyeing data based on local device characteristics, then the dyeing quality in each individual system is improved, but the dyeing quality becomes inconsistent across different dyeing systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the dyeing data from multiple dyeing systems into a single shared database. Each system contributes its dyeing data (including discharge amounts and result colors) to the common database, which is then used by all systems. This combining approach maintains the benefits of localized optimization while achieving consistency across systems, resolving the contradiction between individual system quality and uniformity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal dyeing data management system that serves multiple dyeing systems simultaneously. The shared database and management server provide a multi-functional platform that can store, manage, and distribute dyeing data to any number of dyeing systems, enabling the same data to be universally applied across different locations and devices while maintaining consistent quality standards.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a common dyeing data management system is implemented across multiple dyeing systems, then the uniformity of dyeing quality is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management server as an intermediary between the dyeing systems and the shared database. This intermediary handles the complex tasks of data collection, storage, and distribution, shielding the individual dyeing systems from the complexity of the centralized management infrastructure. The management server acts as a buffer that simplifies the interface while enabling sophisticated data management capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a centralized database that stores standardized dyeing data which can be copied and distributed to multiple systems. Instead of each system maintaining complex unique data structures, the system copies the same standardized data format across all participants, reducing complexity through standardization and reuse of proven data templates.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system ensures uniform dyeing quality across multiple dyeing systems by sharing and correcting dyeing data, ensuring consistent color results regardless of location or device variations.
Implementation Method 1
a printing device that prints a dye on a base body
Implementation Method 2
a transfer device that transfers the dye to a lens in a state where the lens faces the base body on which the dye is printed
Implementation Method 3
a dye fixing device that heats the lens to which the dye is transferred to fix the dye to the lens
Implementation Method 4
a color information measuring instrument that measures color information of the lens to which the dye is fixed
