Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional micro instrument equipment uses multiple fiber fine line tools for obstruction removal and cleaning, then the cleaning function can be achieved, but the operation becomes extremely cumbersome and complicated with multiple replacements and observations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fiber fine line tools (obstruction removal tool and cleaning tool) into a single integrated micro instrument equipment. The device includes both an obstruction removal component and a cleaning component with different functional structures, allowing both obstruction removal and cleaning operations to be performed with one device without multiple replacements, thus simplifying the operation process while maintaining the necessary cleaning function.
2Productivity
If multiple fiber fine line tools are used for obstruction removal and cleaning, then the cleaning function is available, but the process requires breaking obstructions first and then cleaning multiple times which is extremely cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables continuous operation by integrating both obstruction removal and cleaning functions in one device. The device can perform obstruction removal and cleaning in a continuous sequence without interruption or replacement of tools, eliminating the need to break obstructions first and then clean multiple times. This continuous useful action significantly improves cleaning efficiency and reduces the time lost to repeated operations and tool replacements.
3Reliability
If traditional equipment requires multiple replacements and observations, then cleaning can be performed, but the process of observing and treating lesions becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal micro instrument equipment that performs multiple functions including lesion observation, obstruction removal, and cleaning. The device integrates an imaging system for observing lesions with the functional components for obstruction removal and cleaning, allowing all operations to be performed through a single device. This multi-functionality maintains reliable lesion treatment accuracy while significantly reducing operation complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate tools and repeated observations.

Implementation Method 1
controlling a current direction such that the polarities of micron-scale central magnetic fine lines and periphery magnetic fine lines are opposite and then the micron-scale central magnetic fine lines and the periphery magnetic fine lines can attract each other
Implementation Method 2
connecting respectively the central and the periphery magnetic fine lines to an electromagnetic sensing system
Implementation Method 3
combining with a gyroscope thermal tracking assistance system to locate the position of the micron-scale fine lines and to display the same in a digital imaging system
Implementation Method 4
adding a high-precision micro-motor at the middle portion outside the central magnetic fine lines; when a larger obstruction is found by an endoscopic or other optical device imaging system, the central magnetic fine lines can be controlled to arrive at a designated position, and motor speed can be controlled to clean and remove the obstruction
