Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple support devices are used to accommodate different bending curvatures, then the detection capability for various bending curvatures is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support device incorporates a regulation structure with movable hinge rings that can adjust the distance between contact rods and the support rod, enabling the device to dynamically adapt to different bending curvatures. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows a single device to perform multiple detection functions without requiring multiple fixed devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is designed with universal functionality to detect multiple bending curvatures using the same device structure. The regulation structure enables the single device to serve multiple purposes by adjusting its configuration, eliminating the need for multiple specialized devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple support devices are used to accommodate different bending curvatures, then the detection capability for various bending curvatures is improved, but the cost increases

Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the functionality of multiple fixed support devices into a single adjustable device. By merging the detection capabilities for various bending curvatures into one device with a regulation structure, the overall cost is reduced compared to manufacturing and maintaining multiple separate devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple support devices are used to accommodate different bending curvatures, then the detection capability for various bending curvatures is improved, but the detection process efficiency decreases due to cumbersome device changes
Solution Approach 1:
The support device incorporates a regulation structure with movable hinge rings that can adjust the distance between contact rods and the support rod, enabling the device to dynamically adapt to different bending curvatures. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows for quick reconfiguration during detection processes, improving efficiency by eliminating the need to switch between multiple fixed devices.
4Device complexity
If the distance between contact rods and support rod is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the bending curvature regulation capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The support device incorporates a regulation structure with movable hinge rings that can adjust the distance between contact rods and the support rod, enabling the device to dynamically adapt to different bending curvatures. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows a single device to perform multiple detection functions without requiring multiple fixed devices.
