Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the laser rangefinder is held manually during measurement, then the device can be operated, but the measurement accuracy deteriorates due to hand shaking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual holding operationVSAvoidmeasurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a magnet device as an intermediary between the laser rangefinder and the metal frame. This magnet device enables the rangefinder to be attached to the metal frame without manual holding, thereby eliminating hand shaking while maintaining ease of operation. The magnet device acts as a mediator that transfers the attachment function from human hand to the metal frame surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the laser rangefinder is attached to the metal frame using a magnet device, then measurement convenience and accuracy are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnet device serves multiple functions: it provides attachment to the metal frame, enables stable positioning during measurement, and eliminates the need for manual holding. By integrating this single component to achieve multiple objectives, the patent reduces overall system complexity despite adding the magnet device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnet device enables the laser rangefinder to attach itself to the metal frame autonomously without requiring additional fixing mechanisms or complex assembly procedures. The magnetic attachment is self-aligning and self-securing, simplifying the overall device structure while improving measurement stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
