Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lens holder devices are unable to perform analyses in transmission and grazing light for lenses of different sizes due to their conformation, which interferes with maintaining consistent measurement settings for optical lenses of varying weights.
Innovation Solution
A lens holder device with a rigid body and counterweight system that maintains a constant alignment position, featuring fixed and adjustable support points to accommodate lenses of different sizes and weights, allowing for analyses in transmission, reflection, and grazing light without interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lens holder device uses a conventional body conformation, then it can hold optical lenses, but it cannot perform analysis in transmission and grazing light for lenses of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The body is divided into multiple functional parts: a holding portion for the optical lens, a counterweight portion for balancing, and a connecting portion with offset hook. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently, enabling versatile analysis capabilities while maintaining manageable device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
A counterweight is integrated into the body structure to compensate for the weight of optical lenses of different sizes. This allows the device to maintain proper balance and positioning during transmission and grazing light analysis, regardless of the lens weight variations
2Measurement precision
If the lens holder device uses a conformed body to hold lenses, then it can support lens weight, but it interferes with maintaining consistent measurement settings for optical lenses of varying weights
Solution Approach 1:
The counterweight portion is specifically designed to offset the weight variations of different optical lenses. By adjusting or designing the counterweight to compensate for lens weight, the device maintains consistent measurement settings and positioning accuracy regardless of whether a light or heavy lens is being analyzed
Solution Approach 2:
The offset hook connection creates a balanced suspension system where the center of gravity is positioned to ensure that lenses of different weights hang at the same measurement position. This equipotential design ensures that weight variations do not affect measurement consistency
3Stability of the object's composition
If the lens holder device body is rigid, then it maintains the same location for the optical lens over time, but it may interfere with analysis for lenses of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The rigid body is segmented into functional zones: a stable holding portion that maintains consistent lens positioning, and a flexible connecting portion with the offset hook that allows adaptation to different lens sizes. This segmentation preserves location stability while enabling versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The rigid body is designed with universal features including the offset hook connection and integrated counterweight that allow it to accommodate and maintain proper positioning for optical lenses of various sizes, making the same rigid structure adaptable to different analysis requirements
