Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual determination of object locations is used, then the inspection system can operate with simple equipment, but the inspection efficiency and intelligence are low
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection device autonomously determines object locations by emitting laser beams and receiving reflected signals, eliminating the need for manual location determination. The device self-navigates to objects and performs inspection automatically, thereby improving inspection efficiency while the integrated nature of the system keeps complexity manageable
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical location determination with an optical field-based laser radar system. The laser radar device uses electromagnetic waves (laser) to detect object positions, substituting the mechanical/manual process with an automated optical measurement system, thus improving efficiency
2Adaptability or versatility
If centralized scanning at a designated location is used, then the inspection process is simplified, but the inspection region is limited and cannot accommodate scattered objects
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection device transitions from a static centralized scanning position to a mobile dynamic system. The device can move freely within the inspection region to locate and inspect objects scattered at various positions, thereby expanding coverage while maintaining operational simplicity through automated navigation
Solution Approach 2:
The inspection region is divided into multiple scanning channels with designated nodes, allowing the inspection device to systematically cover different areas. This segmentation enables the device to handle scattered objects across a large region while maintaining an organized inspection process
3Area of stationary object
If the inspection region is large with scattered objects, then the inspection coverage is improved, but the scanning efficiency decreases and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection device autonomously navigates to scattered objects within the large inspection region using laser radar for location determination and integrated positioning systems. This self-service capability enables efficient scanning across large areas without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining high productivity despite the expanded inspection region
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses laser radar to detect object positions and feeds this information back to the control system, which then directs the inspection device to the appropriate locations. This feedback mechanism enables efficient navigation and scanning across large regions with scattered objects by continuously adjusting the inspection path based on detected positions
