Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If two lens driving modules are arranged close to each other in dual-lens camera systems, then the device size is reduced, but magnetic interference between the magnets of the two lens driving modules occurs, causing focus speed and accuracy to deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidmagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A magnetic isolation component is introduced between the first magnet and the second magnet to act as a mediator that blocks or reduces magnetic field interaction. This intermediary element allows the lens driving modules to be arranged close together while preventing harmful magnetic interference between them, thus maintaining both compact size and focus performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful magnetic field interaction is extracted or removed from the system by using the magnetic isolation component to block the magnetic field paths between adjacent magnets. This extraction of the harmful effect allows the lens driving modules to operate independently without mutual interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If magnetic isolation components are added between adjacent lens driving modules, then magnetic interference is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic interferenceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic isolation function is merged with existing structural components of the lens driving module rather than being added as a completely separate element. By integrating the magnetic isolation capability into the housing or mounting structure, the design reduces overall complexity while still achieving the desired magnetic field blocking effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
