Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single ray source is used for radiation scanning, then the device structure is simple, but overlapping object images occur in ray beam propagation paths making it difficult to accurately identify object outlines
Solution Approach 1:
The single ray source is segmented into multiple ray generators (first, second, third, and fourth ray generators) arranged at different positions and angles. Each ray generator emits ray beams through different propagation paths, enabling multi-view angle imaging that prevents overlapping object images and improves outline identification accuracy.
2Measurement precision
If ray generators emit ray beams at different angles for multi-view imaging, then inspection accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple ray generators and collimators are merged into a single integrated radiation scanning imaging device. The collimators are positioned to correspond with each ray generator, and all components work together in a unified structure to emit and shape ray beams at different angles simultaneously, achieving multi-view imaging without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If collimators are used to shape ray beams from multiple ray generators, then imaging precision is improved, but the device complexity and adjustment requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The collimators are designed with adjustable mechanisms that allow dynamic adjustment of their positions and orientations. This enables precise control of ray beam shapes while maintaining flexibility for different inspection scenarios. The adjustable collimators can be positioned to correspond with each ray generator, optimizing beam shaping without requiring overly complex fixed structures.
