Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lens assemblies require expensive testing equipment to determine the position of the optical axis, leading to high production costs.

Innovation Solution

Incorporation of position structures, such as bumps and incisions, on the lens and film to facilitate manual alignment of the optical axis, eliminating the need for costly optical measuring equipment during assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If expensive testing equipment is used to determine the position of the optical axis, then measurement precision is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition of optical axisVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the optical axis position on the film before bonding to the lens. The film includes marked position information indicating where the optical axis will be located after assembly, allowing workers to align components based on these pre-established markers rather than requiring expensive post-assembly measurement equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If expensive testing equipment is used to determine the position of the optical axis, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition of optical axisVSAvoidassembly equipment
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by making the film itself carry the positioning information needed for alignment. The film includes position information that directly indicates the optical axis location, allowing the assembly process to self-align without requiring external testing equipment or complex measurement devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If manual alignment methods are used without position markers, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment structuresVSAvoidassembly accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by adding position information specifically at the locations where alignment is needed, rather than making the entire film or lens complex. The film maintains simplicity overall but includes localized marked positions that provide the necessary alignment guidance, achieving high precision without overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
