Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a coil and magnetically permeable component are used to drive the movable portion, then driving accuracy for optical image stabilization is improved, but magnetic interference may affect sensing components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving accuracyVSAvoidmagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A magnetic shield component is introduced as an intermediary between the driving assembly (coil and magnetically permeable component) and the sensing component. This magnetic shield selectively blocks magnetic field lines, preventing magnetic interference from reaching the sensing component while allowing the driving assembly to function normally. The magnetic shield acts as a mediator that separates the beneficial magnetic driving force from the harmful magnetic interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The internal structure of the lens module is segmented into distinct functional zones: a driving zone containing the coil and magnetically permeable component, and a sensing zone containing the sensing component. The magnetic shield creates a physical and magnetic field separation between these zones, allowing each component to operate independently without interference. This spatial segmentation resolves the contradiction by isolating the sensing component from magnetic interference while preserving driving functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If circuit members are disposed on the movable portion to enable precise control, then driving control is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple circuit members (first circuit member and second circuit member) are merged and disposed on the same movable portion, integrating the electrical connection functions into a unified structure. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall structure while maintaining precise control capabilities. The circuit members are strategically positioned to minimize interference and optimize electrical connectivity for both the driving and sensing functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
