Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a fixed light source configuration is used, then the device structure is simple, but the imaging quality deteriorates due to shadow generation and insufficient light diffusion adaptation to different subject shapes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable plate that can change position to adjust the opening region of the second opening, thereby dynamically changing the diffusion degree of light from the first light source. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to different subject shapes and sizes, improving imaging quality by optimizing light diffusion for each specific examination case without requiring multiple fixed configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of light diffusion degree by moving the movable plate to different positions, which alters the opening region and consequently the diffusion characteristics of light. This parameter change enables the system to optimize light distribution for different subject geometries, resolving the contradiction between maintaining simple structure and achieving high imaging quality across varying examination conditions.
2Measurement precision
If light diffusion is increased to reduce shadows, then imaging accuracy improves, but light intensity decreases affecting overall imaging quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the position of the movable plate to optimize the balance between light diffusion and light intensity. By changing the opening region, the system can achieve appropriate diffusion degrees while maintaining sufficient light intensity for high-quality imaging, thus resolving the contradiction between reducing shadows and maintaining brightness.
3Measurement precision
If multiple light sources with different wavelengths are used to enhance multispectral imaging capability, then measurement precision improves, but device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple light sources with different wavelength characteristics (first light source and second light source) into a single integrated examination device. This combination allows the system to perform multispectral imaging by utilizing both light sources together, achieving high measurement precision while avoiding the complexity of separate systems. The merged configuration enables coordinated operation of different wavelength light sources for comprehensive material analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal light source system that can handle multiple spectral requirements through the first and second light sources. This multi-functional configuration allows a single device to perform various multispectral imaging tasks across different wavelength ranges, improving versatility and measurement precision without requiring multiple specialized devices.
4Illumination intensity
If the opening region is increased to allow more light, then light intensity improves, but shadow generation increases reducing imaging quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a movable plate that can be positioned dynamically to adjust the opening region size. This dynamic control allows the system to optimize the balance between allowing sufficient light through and preventing excessive shadow generation. By adjusting the plate position, the opening region can be tuned to match the specific examination requirements, resolving the contradiction between light amount and shadow control.
