Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional gripper systems use mechanical design with replaceable grippers, then the gripper can be securely affixed, but the mechanical design and circuit design become complicated and occupy large space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional mechanical gripper system with a magnetic field-based system. The gripper base generates a magnetic field that directly acts on the gripper, eliminating the need for complex mechanical transmission components and circuit designs while maintaining secure affixing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes the complex mechanical transmission mechanisms and circuit components from the system, retaining only the essential magnetic field generation and control functions, thereby simplifying the overall design.
2Reliability
If conventional gripper systems use secure affixing mechanisms, then the gripper can be firmly held, but they need to occupy a large space
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic field-based affixing mechanism occupies significantly less space compared to mechanical affixing mechanisms, as it eliminates the need for large mechanical components and transmission structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the affixing mechanism from mechanical to magnetic field-based, fundamentally altering the physical parameters and spatial requirements of the system.
3Reliability
If conventional gripper systems use complex mechanical design, then the gripper can be securely affixed, but the gripper cannot be changed rapidly and efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic field-based system enables rapid gripper changes by eliminating complex mechanical assembly and disassembly processes, allowing for quick replacement and reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic control through magnetic field adjustment, enabling the gripper to be quickly attached and detached by controlling the magnetic field strength, thereby improving productivity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If conventional gripper systems use replaceable grippers, then different types can be used for various electronic components, but the mechanical design and circuit design become complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic field-based system provides a universal interface for different gripper types, eliminating the need for complex mechanical adaptations and circuit designs for each gripper variant.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal magnetic field-based control system that can accommodate multiple gripper types without requiring separate mechanical or circuit designs for each, thereby maintaining versatility while reducing complexity.
