Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a detection part is irradiated through an LED lamp for naked eye observation, then the structure is simple, but deep positions such as the oral cavity and ear canal cannot be seen clearly, affecting detection accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into modular components: a camera module for image capture, various adapters for different body parts, a circuit board for control, and a mobile device for display. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall system manageability.
Solution Approach 2:
A camera apparatus serves as an intermediary between the detection area (deep body parts) and the observer (medical professional). The camera captures images of difficult-to-reach areas and transmits them to a mobile device, enabling clear visualization without direct line-of-sight observation.
2Measurement precision
If the probe is inserted deeply to detect deep body parts, then detection capability is improved, but the risk of human injury increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection sensor provides feedback about the adapter's position and insertion depth. When the adapter is properly positioned or when excessive insertion is detected, the sensor triggers the circuit board to control the camera's operation or alert the user, preventing injury while maintaining detection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Various adapters are designed with predetermined shapes and sizes suitable for specific body parts (oral cavity, ear canal, nasal cavity). The detection sensor is pre-configured to recognize proper adapter positioning, guiding the user to insert only to the safe depth before activation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If various adapters are designed for different body parts, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single camera apparatus is designed to perform multiple detection functions by accepting different adapters. The universal interface on the circuit board allows any adapter to be connected, enabling one device to detect skin, hair, oral cavity, throat, teeth, ear canal, and nasal cavity conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The adapters are designed to be attached to or integrated with the camera probe, with some adapters potentially containing nested components. The detection sensor and circuit board form a nested hierarchical structure where the sensor connects to the board, which controls the camera module.
