Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If traditional external heating and temperature control equipment is used, then temperature control accuracy is improved, but device volume and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature control accuracyVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the temperature control module directly into the detection apparatus housing, merging the heating element, temperature sensor, and control circuitry into a single integrated unit. This eliminates the need for separate external heating equipment and temperature control devices, thereby reducing overall device volume while maintaining temperature control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The detection apparatus uses its own internal heating element and temperature sensor to control the temperature of the detection environment, rather than relying on external equipment. The system self-regulates temperature by sensing and adjusting using built-in components, making the system more compact and portable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional external heating equipment is used, then temperature stability is improved, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature stabilityVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the heating element, temperature sensor, and control circuitry into an integrated temperature control module that is built into the detection apparatus. This integration reduces the need for multiple separate components and their associated connections, thereby lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining temperature stability through coordinated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses its own internal temperature sensing and heating components to maintain stable temperature conditions, eliminating the need for expensive external temperature control equipment. The self-contained design reduces overall system cost while achieving the required temperature stability for accurate image-sticking detection.

Inventive Principle:
