Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate tools are used for measuring distance and level, then measurement functions are comprehensive, but time consumption increases and工作效率 decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate measuring tools (laser level, distance meter, and measuring device) into a single integrated device. The housing contains all three laser sources, detectors, and processing circuits, allowing simultaneous or sequential execution of leveling, distance measurement, and positioning functions without requiring multiple separate tools, thus improving工作效率 while maintaining comprehensive measurement capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated device performs multiple measurement functions simultaneously - it can establish horizontal and vertical reference lines for leveling, measure distances to surfaces, and provide positioning information all through a single device. This multi-functionality eliminates the need to switch between different tools during construction or measurement tasks
2Measurement precision
If multiple separate tools are used for leveling and measuring, then measurement accuracy is maintained, but the number of tools and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges three separate measuring instruments into one integrated device with a single housing containing all laser sources, detectors, and control circuits. This consolidation maintains the measurement precision of each individual function while reducing the total number of tools from three separate devices to one unified system
3Ease of operation
If traditional leveling devices are used, then leveling function is provided, but adjustment time and effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical leveling mechanisms (such as adjustable screws, spirit levels, and manual alignment systems) with laser-based optical measurement and electronic detection systems. The lasers automatically establish precise horizontal and vertical reference lines, and detectors automatically measure positions and distances, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and significantly reducing setup time while improving ease of operation
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and accurate measurements of both distance and level, saving time and effort by allowing users to determine proper positioning and level on any flat surface, overcoming the limitations of existing devices.
Implementation Method 1
Each opening has a laser that sends a beam to provide a level line
Implementation Method 2
Each laser may also measure the distance between the device and the surface on which the laser lands
Data Source
AI summary
A laser-level and measuring device is provided. The device is comprised of a rectangular body that is preferably made from a plastic material. The body is comprised of three openings from which a laser may send a beam through the body. A horizontal beam and two vertical beams perpendicular to the horizontal beam may display on a wall or other surface from which objects may be placed in a leveled manner. Each laser may also measure the distance between the surface on which the laser lands and the device. The distance measurement may then be shown on a display on the body of the device to be utilized by a user.
