Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional medicine applying devices are used, then the device can deliver medicine to the esophagus, but the device needs to be disassembled and cleaned which is quite inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into multiple separable components including a handle assembly, applicator assembly, and cartridge assembly that can be easily disconnected and reconnected. This segmentation allows rapid disassembly for cleaning and sterilization without requiring complex disassembly procedures, directly addressing the convenience issue while minimizing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The cartridge containing the medicine reservoir is designed as a removable component that can be easily extracted from the handle assembly. This extraction design allows the cartridge to be separately sterilized or replaced without disassembling the entire device, significantly improving ease of operation and reducing cleaning time.
2Loss of substance
If conventional medicine applying devices are used, then the device can apply liquid medicine to the esophagus, but excessive liquid medicine cannot be recycled, leading to waste
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates a return channel that redirects excess liquid medicine from the application site back to the reservoir. This recovery mechanism captures medicine that would otherwise be wasted, allowing it to be reused in subsequent applications, thereby reducing substance loss without requiring overly complex additional systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The device uses a pump mechanism with controlled pressure to deliver medicine through the applicator and to return excess medicine through the return channel. This hydraulic system efficiently manages liquid flow, enabling both precise delivery and effective recovery of excess medicine with minimal additional complexity.
3Ease of operation
If conventional medicine applying devices are used, then the device can be used at various positions, but the battery is inconvenient to replace, resulting in inconvenient use
Solution Approach 1:
The battery compartment is designed as a separate, easily accessible component that can be quickly opened and the battery replaced without disassembling the entire device. This extraction design allows rapid battery replacement by simply accessing the compartment, significantly improving ease of operation and minimizing time loss during battery changes.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the device structure is made more complex to enable medicine recycling and easy assembly, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The handle assembly serves multiple functions: it houses the battery, operates the pump mechanism, controls medicine flow, and provides the interface for attaching different cartridges. This multi-functionality consolidates several components into one, improving adaptability and versatility while avoiding unnecessary increases in overall device complexity.
