Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple radioactive sources are adopted to form multi-view radiation imaging, then recognition accuracy is improved, but system cost and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single microwave power source is designed to serve multiple accelerating tubes simultaneously, enabling the system to generate multiple radiation beams with different energies. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple separate radioactive sources while achieving multi-view radiation imaging, thereby reducing system cost and space requirements while maintaining recognition accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple radiation generation functions into a single integrated system where one microwave power source feeds multiple accelerating tubes. By merging the power source function and using chronological control to switch between tubes, the system achieves the effect of multiple radioactive sources without the associated cost and space penalties
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple radioactive sources are used for multi-view radiation imaging, then imaging capability is improved, but system space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The single microwave power source is designed to sequentially control multiple accelerating tubes, enabling the system to perform multi-view radiation imaging with different beam energies. This approach provides the adaptability of multiple sources while occupying the space of a single compact power source and control system
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses chronological control to periodically switch between different accelerating tubes, with each tube activated in sequence to produce radiation beams at different angles and energies. This periodic switching enables multi-view imaging capability without requiring all tubes to operate simultaneously, thus reducing space requirements
