Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the distance between the lighting source and the target material is shortened, then the light intensity increases, but it becomes inconvenient to take or place the target material
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a rotary work table that rotates to bring different positions of the target material into the optimal lighting zone. This dynamic positioning allows the lighting source to maintain a fixed, optimized distance for maximum light intensity while the work table rotation enables easy access and placement of materials from the side, resolving the contradiction between light intensity and operational convenience
2Productivity
If the light intensity of the lighting source is increased, then the solidifying speed increases, but the target material cannot be uniformly solidified due to the outline not being a single surface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single-point light source to a linear lighting source that extends along the rotation axis of the work table. This dimensional change allows light to illuminate the entire circumference of the target material simultaneously, ensuring uniform solidification across all surfaces while maintaining high light intensity for rapid processing
3Area of stationary object
If the location of the lighting source is changed, then the coverage area increases, but the location of the target material being emitting is consequently changed and dead zones may exist
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the work table rotational rather than stationary, allowing the target material to dynamically pass through the optimized lighting zone. This dynamic approach ensures that all surfaces of the target material receive uniform light exposure during rotation, eliminating dead zones while covering the entire material surface area

AI summary
A medical light solidifying device includes a housing box, a rotary work table, a lighting source reflection body, and an LED lighting source set. The rotary work table is rotatably located in the housing box for being placed with a target material. The lighting source reflection body includes at least two reflection masks. Each mask has a reflection wall surrounding the rotary work table. Each of the reflection walls of the two reflection masks respectively has at least one reflection surface. The LED lighting source set is located above the rotary work table and the lighting source reflection body, and includes a plurality of LED units for emitting a beam with a specific wavelength for solidifying the target material. Thereby, the dead zone of the LED lighting source set is reduced so that the usage efficiency thereof is increase, and furthermore the target material can be efficiently and uniformly solidified.
