Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual replacement of sealing nozzle is used, then operation simplicity is maintained, but productivity is reduced due to inefficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic replacement of sealing nozzles through a robotic arm that autonomously performs removal and installation operations, eliminating the need for manual intervention and significantly improving replacement efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
A robotic arm serves as an intermediary mechanism between the sealing nozzle storage and the injection tube, automating the transfer process while managing the complexity of the replacement operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex pipelines are used for multi-step operation control, then operation control flexibility is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to helium adsorption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary pipeline components from the system, simplifying the pipeline structure to minimize helium adsorption while retaining the essential multi-step operation control capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters by using a robotic arm for automated nozzle replacement, which reduces the need for complex pipeline control mechanisms and thereby decreases helium adsorption in the pipelines
