Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple jigs are prepared for different shapes and deformation amounts, then the correction precision is improved, but the device complexity and operation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The pushing tool is designed with a variable pushing amount mechanism that allows a single tool to perform multiple correction functions by adjusting the pushing distance. The pushing amount varies based on the pushing position, enabling one universal tool to replace multiple specialized jigs for different deformation amounts and shapes.
Solution Approach 2:
The pushing tool incorporates dynamic adjustment capability where the pushing amount can be changed during operation. The tool moves along the side surface of the plate-shaped object, and the pushing distance is dynamically determined by the position, allowing adaptation to various correction requirements without changing the tool itself.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple jigs are prepared for different shapes, then the correction precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to frequent jig replacements
Solution Approach 1:
A single pushing tool serves multiple correction purposes by adjusting its pushing amount according to the position on the plate-shaped object. This eliminates the need to prepare and replace multiple specialized jigs for different shapes and deformation amounts, significantly simplifying the operation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The pushing amount parameter is made variable based on the pushing position. By changing the pushing distance parameter dynamically, the same tool can achieve different correction effects suitable for various shapes and deformation amounts, maintaining precision while improving ease of operation.
3Device complexity
If a fixed-shaped jig is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates when deformation amounts change
Solution Approach 1:
The pushing tool is designed with dynamic adjustment capability where the pushing amount varies according to the position on the object. This allows a simple single-tool design to achieve high adaptability for different deformation amounts and shapes without increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pushing distance parameter is made variable and is determined by the pushing position. This parameter change capability allows the simple pushing tool to adapt to various correction requirements, achieving high versatility without complicating the device structure.
