1Object-affected harmful factors

If a blocking plate is installed to prevent optical signal interference, then optical signal interference is reduced, but the reflective surface may be damaged during installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical signal interferenceVSAvoidreflective surface integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The blocking plate is divided into multiple segments that can be independently positioned and secured. This segmentation allows the plate to be installed without applying concentrated force to the reflective surface, thereby preventing damage while effectively blocking optical signal interference between adjacent reflective surfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A mounting frame structure is introduced as an intermediary between the blocking plate and the rotary reflection structure. The frame serves as a mediator that distributes mechanical stress away from the reflective surface, allowing secure installation of the blocking plate without compromising the integrity of the reflective coating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the blocking plate is securely fixed to prevent interference, then optical signal interference is minimized, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical signal interferenceVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The blocking plate is segmented into multiple sections that can be manufactured separately using standard fabrication processes. Each segment is then assembled into the complete blocking plate structure, simplifying the manufacturing of individual components while achieving the overall goal of preventing optical signal interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting frame structure serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the blocking plate, facilitates easy installation and removal, enables precise positioning, and allows for future maintenance or replacement. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, thereby simplifying the overall manufacturing process

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