2Manufacturing precision

If optimal parameter values are determined individually for multiple working parameters and then combined, then comprehensive optimization can be achieved, but the combined parameters cause uncertainty and inaccuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter optimization accuracyVSAvoidparameter combination uncertainty
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the determination of multiple working parameters into a unified process by analyzing their interrelationships through algorithms that process all parameters simultaneously, rather than determining them individually and combining them, thereby reducing uncertainty and improving reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If working parameters are adjusted in real-time to account for device wear and use time, then optimal performance can be maintained, but the adjustment process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically monitoring device usage time and wear conditions, then autonomously adjusting working parameters based on pre-established relationships between device state and optimal parameters, eliminating the need for manual intervention and maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Adaptability or versatility

If device parameters are limited to certain intervals without further constraint, then device operation flexibility is maintained, but optimal working environment cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
