Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If two lens-driving modules are arranged close to each other in dual-lens camera systems, then the device structure is compact, but magnetic interference occurs between the magnets of the two modules, adversely affecting focus speed and accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structure compactnessVSAvoidmagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A non-magnetic reinforcing sheet is introduced as an intermediary component between the first and second lens-driving modules. This reinforcing sheet serves as a magnetic field barrier that blocks magnetic interference between the two modules while maintaining the compact dual-lens structure. The reinforcing sheet is embedded in the housing and positioned to face the circuit assembly, creating a physical and magnetic barrier without requiring increased device volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a reinforcing sheet is embedded in the housing to block magnetic interference, then magnetic interference is prevented, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic interference preventionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcing sheet serves multiple functions simultaneously: it reinforces the housing structure, blocks magnetic interference between lens-driving modules, and provides a mounting surface for the circuit assembly. By embedding the reinforcing sheet in the housing, the patent eliminates the need for separate magnetic shielding components, thereby preventing magnetic interference without significantly increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If the circuit assembly and reinforcing sheet are positioned to minimize magnetic interference, then focus accuracy is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefocus accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcing sheet is pre-formed with through holes and embedded in the housing before the circuit assembly is installed. This preliminary preparation of the reinforcing sheet allows for precise positioning and alignment, ensuring that the circuit assembly and reinforcing sheet are correctly positioned to minimize magnetic interference. The pre-formed structure simplifies the overall manufacturing process by providing clear assembly guidelines and reducing the need for complex post-assembly adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
