Innovation Solution

A support device for a magnetic field generator, comprising a cardiac surgery bed with a support column, connecting support shell, moving assembly, and adjusting assembly, which includes a servo motor-driven threaded rod system and a protective shell made of PA12 for mounting and positioning the magnetic field generator.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a magnetic field generator is directly mounted on the surgical bed, then the positioning function is achieved, but the mounting process becomes difficult and costly due to lack of specialized mounting brackets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning functionVSAvoidmounting process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a mounting bracket as an intermediary component between the magnetic field generator and the surgical bed. This bracket serves as a mediator that simplifies the mounting process while ensuring stable positioning, thereby resolving the contradiction between achieving reliable positioning and maintaining ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: the mounting bracket itself, the connecting support shell, and the connecting plates. This segmentation allows for easier manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance while ensuring the magnetic field generator can be reliably positioned on the surgical bed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a specialized mounting bracket is designed for the magnetic field generator, then the mounting ease is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting easeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is designed with multi-functionality to reduce overall device complexity. It integrates positioning, support, and adjustment functions into a single component, allowing easy mounting while avoiding the need for multiple separate specialized components that would increase complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the mounting bracket with the connecting support shell and positioning structures into an integrated assembly. This merging of functions reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby improving ease of operation while controlling device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If adjustment mechanisms are added to the mounting bracket, then the positioning precision is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket incorporates adjustable components that allow dynamic positioning of the magnetic field generator. These adjustment mechanisms enable precise positioning while maintaining relatively simple construction, resolving the contradiction between positioning precision and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Provided is a support device for a magnetic field generator, relating to the technical field of medical devices. The support device includes a cardiac surgery bed, and further includes a support column arranged at the bottom of the cardiac surgery bed. An output end of a servo motor is driven to make a first threaded rod rotate, the rotation of the first threaded rod drives a first driving wheel to rotate, the rotation of the first driving wheel drives a conveyor belt to drive, then the conveyor belt drives a second driving wheel to rotate to make a second threaded rod to rotate, thus making a thread bushing move. When the thread bushing moves, an extension plate is driven to move, and when the extension plate moves, a limiting shell is driven to move, thus adjusting a position of a mapping assembly.
