Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a single carrier is used for each weight sensor, then the installation is simple, but the measurement points are limited and multiple detection points cannot be measured simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple weight sensors and multiple carriers into a single integrated carrier structure. The carrier includes multiple bearing assemblies that can simultaneously support multiple weight sensors, enabling multi-point measurement capabilities while reducing the total number of separate carrier components needed
Solution Approach 2:
The carrier structure is designed with universal functionality to accommodate different types and specifications of weight sensors. The bearing assemblies can be configured in various arrangements (radial, axial, inclined) to measure forces in multiple directions, making the same carrier structure adaptable to different measurement requirements
2Measurement precision
If a single measurement direction is used, then the device structure is simple, but only values in one direction can be measured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends measurement from a single direction to multiple dimensions by arranging bearing assemblies in different spatial orientations. The carriers can support sensors configured for radial measurement, axial measurement, or inclined measurement, enabling three-dimensional force component measurement capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The carrier structure employs asymmetric arrangements of bearing assemblies to accommodate different measurement directions. The bearing assemblies are positioned and oriented differently relative to each other, allowing the structure to measure force components in multiple non-uniform directions rather than symmetric uniform directions
3Ease of operation
If a single position for signal interfaces is used, then the interface structure is simple, but cable connection is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier structure integrates multiple signal interface positions into a single multi-functional unit. Signal interfaces are provided at multiple locations on the carrier body, allowing cables to be connected from different directions and positions, accommodating various installation scenarios and improving operational convenience
