Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Magnetic-induction door locks are prone to interference from external magnetic fields, leading to inaccurate detection of the door's locked state, and existing calibration methods are complex, making them difficult for non-experts to calibrate.
Innovation Solution
Collect magnetic-field-intensity numerologies at different door states (ajar, open, locked) and map these to a database, using a sensor and transmitter to transmit these relationships for accurate door state determination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If magnetic-induction door locks are used for automatic door state detection, then automation is improved, but detection precision deteriorates due to external magnetic field interference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing calibration operations before the door lock is put into service. The calibration process pre-establishes the magnetic field intensity characteristics for different door states (open, closed, locked) and stores reference values in a database. This preliminary calibration enables the door lock to automatically compensate for magnetic field interference during actual operation, maintaining detection precision while preserving automation.
2Measurement precision
If complex calibration methods are used to improve detection accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates as non-experts cannot perform calibration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the door lock to perform automatic calibration without requiring user intervention or expert knowledge. The system automatically collects magnetic field intensity data at different door states, processes the data through established algorithms, and stores the calibration results in a database. This self-calibrating capability eliminates the need for manual calibration operations while maintaining high detection accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If manual calibration operations are required to achieve accurate detection, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases making calibration difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical calibration operations with an automated electronic system. Instead of requiring physical adjustment of components or manual data collection procedures, the system uses a sensor to automatically measure magnetic field intensity, a processor to analyze the data according to predetermined algorithms, and a database to store calibration results. This substitution of mechanical calibration with an electronic automated system reduces complexity while maintaining measurement precision.
