Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If electrodes are adhered and fixed to the container using adhesive agents, then the electrodes are securely positioned for measurement, but the adhesive agents may accelerate blood coagulation and interfere with measurement accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the adhesive agent from the system by integrating the electrode directly into the container structure through co-molding. The electrode is formed as an integral part of the container body, removing the harmful adhesive component that interferes with blood coagulation measurements while maintaining secure electrode positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the electrode and container into a single integrated structure through co-molding. The electrode is formed simultaneously with the container body as one unified component, eliminating the need for separate adhesive bonding and ensuring the electrode is securely positioned without introducing harmful substances.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If electrodes are inserted from the outside into the container, then adhesive agents are eliminated, but measurement errors occur due to variations in electrode insertion depth
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the electrode and container into a single integrated structure where the electrode is formed as an integral part of the container body. This eliminates the need for separate insertion operations, ensuring consistent electrode positioning and depth without variation, while also eliminating adhesive agent interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrode position and depth are predetermined and established during the container manufacturing process itself through co-molding. The electrode is pre-positioned at the exact required depth and orientation before the container is even assembled, eliminating any subsequent insertion variability.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If external apparatuses are added to insert electrodes from outside, then adhesive agents are eliminated, but the apparatus size increases and manufacturing becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the electrode and container into a single integrated structure, eliminating the need for external electrode insertion apparatuses. The electrode is formed as an integral part of the container body, simplifying the overall system configuration and reducing apparatus complexity while maintaining the benefit of eliminating adhesive agents.
Solution Approach 2:
The container structure itself provides the electrode function through integration. The container body is designed to include the electrode as an inherent component, making the container self-sufficient and eliminating the need for separate external apparatuses to perform electrode insertion.
4Reliability
If adhesive agents are used to fix electrodes, then electrode positioning is stable, but manufacturing processes become more complex and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the electrode and container manufacturing into a single co-molding process. Both components are formed simultaneously in one manufacturing operation, eliminating the need for separate electrode attachment steps using adhesive agents, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and improving productivity while maintaining electrode positioning stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The electrode positioning is predetermined and established during the container manufacturing process itself. The electrode is pre-positioned and integrated into the container structure before the container is completed, eliminating subsequent assembly steps and improving manufacturing efficiency while ensuring stable electrode positioning.
