Solution Overview

Problem

Existing module assembly systems lack the ability to determine assembly errors and provide necessary assistance for error correction, making it difficult for non-specialists to assemble and utilize module assemblies without errors.

Innovation Solution

An assembly information providing system that includes a module assembly with a control module generating assembly information, a user terminal, and an assembly information providing server, which determines assembly errors, generates error information, and provides assistance for module removal, replacement, and addition through a network, using unique module information, category classification, and execution order analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If module assembly systems are designed to be easily assembled by non-specialists, then ease of operation is improved, but assembly errors may occur due to lack of expertise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assemblyVSAvoidassembly error rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects assembly errors by comparing actual assembly information with pre-stored correct assembly patterns, and provides feedback to guide users to correct the errors. This feedback mechanism enables non-specialists to assemble modules correctly without requiring expert knowledge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Correct assembly patterns and procedures are pre-stored in the system before assembly begins. The system retrieves and compares these preliminary reference patterns against actual assembly information to identify errors, enabling error detection without requiring user expertise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the system provides comprehensive assembly error detection and assistance functions, then assembly reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly error detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The module assembly system performs self-detection and self-diagnosis of assembly errors. Each module automatically provides its assembly information, and the control module compares this information against stored patterns to identify errors, eliminating the need for complex external inspection systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system divides the assembly verification process into independent modular functions: information collection from individual modules, comparison with reference patterns, error identification, and assistance provision. This segmentation allows each function to be implemented simply while achieving comprehensive error detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If assembly information is collected and analyzed in real-time, then assembly error detection accuracy is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly error detection accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Correct assembly patterns are copied and stored as reference data before assembly begins. The system compares actual assembly information against these pre-copied reference patterns, enabling accurate error detection without requiring complex real-time analysis of all possible assembly configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
