Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a control method is used for vibration reduction, then vibration suppression is achieved, but parameter adjustment becomes complex and adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration suppression effectVSAvoidparameter adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration reduction device automatically determines the appropriate vibration reduction mode based on detected motion parameters (velocity, acceleration, jerk) without requiring manual parameter adjustment. The system self-adapts to different motion conditions by selecting from pre-defined modes (first mode for high velocity, second mode for high acceleration, third mode for high jerk), eliminating the need for complex parameter tuning while maintaining effective vibration suppression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration reduction device dynamically switches between different vibration reduction modes based on real-time motion parameters. The control strategy changes from static to dynamic adaptation, where the device transitions between first, second, and third vibration reduction modes according to whether velocity, acceleration, or jerk exceeds respective thresholds, thereby improving adaptability without increasing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a passive vibration reduction structure is added, then vibration reduction capability is provided, but suppression effect under high-speed motion remains unsatisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration reduction capabilityVSAvoidhigh-speed vibration suppression effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the passive vibration reduction structure into an active system by introducing dynamic control based on motion parameters. The device transitions from a static passive structure to an active system that switches between different vibration reduction modes (first mode with damping coefficient c1, second mode with c2, third mode with c3) based on real-time velocity, acceleration, and jerk conditions, thereby achieving effective suppression under high-speed motion conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The vibration reduction device changes its damping parameters dynamically based on motion conditions. By selecting different vibration reduction modes with different damping coefficients (c1, c2, c3) according to motion parameters, the system adapts to varying speed conditions and achieves satisfactory vibration suppression效果 under high-speed motion where passive structures fail

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the action end continuously contacts the motion body, then vibration suppression is maintained, but motion accuracy deteriorates due to interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration suppression continuityVSAvoidmotion accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration reduction device employs periodic or conditional contact through telescopic expansion and contraction based on detected vibration conditions. Rather than continuous contact, the device expands to contact the motion body only when vibration thresholds are exceeded, then contracts when vibration is suppressed, thereby maintaining vibration suppression effectiveness while eliminating unnecessary interference with motion accuracy during normal operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The telescopic structure acts as an intermediary mechanism between the fixed vibration reduction device and the motion body. By expanding and contracting the telescopic portion, the device mediates contact only when needed, allowing vibration suppression through controlled friction while avoiding continuous interference with the motion body's positioning accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A rapid active vibration reduction method for a high-speed motion stage includes acquiring motion parameters of a motion body of the motion stage in current motion; determining a vibration reduction mode of a vibration reduction device according to the motion parameters; and controlling an action end of the vibration reduction device to contact with the motion body of the motion stage or contact with a driving device for driving the motion body to move based on the vibration reduction mode, so that a contact friction force used for suppressing vibration of the motion body is generated. Realizing vibration reduction by means of active friction can reduce vibration of the motion body in a specific stage needing vibration reduction, and the action end of the vibration reduction device does not need to contact with the motion body or does not need to contact with the driving device before vibration reduction.
