Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional single light source processing is used, then the processing apparatus is simple, but the manufacturing precision and processing accuracy are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides a single light source into multiple light sources (first light source and second light source), each independently controllable. This segmentation allows precise control of intensity distribution and irradiation patterns, achieving high manufacturing precision while managing complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic control mechanisms including a first change apparatus to adjust intensity distribution of the first light source, a second change apparatus to adjust intensity distribution of the second light source, and a relative position change apparatus to adjust the relative position between the two light sources. These dynamic adjustments enable adaptive optimization of processing accuracy
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple processing lights are used to control intensity distribution, then the processing accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention designs the first and second light sources and their associated change apparatus to perform multiple functions: controlling intensity distribution, adjusting irradiation patterns, and modifying relative positions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, managing device complexity while achieving precise intensity distribution control
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs parameter change apparatus to dynamically adjust key parameters including intensity distribution of each light source, relative position between light sources, and irradiation timing. By controlling these parameters, the system achieves precise manufacturing accuracy without requiring overly complex hardware configurations
3Productivity
If the light irradiation system is enhanced for precise control, then the processing efficiency improves, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses two light sources with independently controlled intensity distributions, allowing partial illumination strategies. The change apparatus can adjust intensity to provide exactly the required energy for each processing task, avoiding excessive energy consumption while maintaining high processing efficiency through optimized light delivery
Solution Approach 2:
The invention enables continuous processing by coordinating the first and second light sources with their change apparatus, eliminating idle time between processing steps. The relative position change apparatus ensures continuous optimal positioning, maintaining productive action while managing energy consumption through efficient light source operation
