Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If magnetic components are used in the driving mechanism, then the optical element can be driven to move for imaging adjustment, but operational errors caused by magnetic interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical element movement controlVSAvoidoperational accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes magnetic components from the driving mechanism entirely, replacing them with a mechanical driving assembly that uses a driving source, transmission components, and a movable platform to achieve optical element movement without magnetic interference, thereby eliminating operational errors caused by magnetic fields

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a non-magnetic intermediary mechanical transmission system between the driving source and the optical element, using components such as a movable platform, transmission shafts, and connection structures to transfer motion without magnetic interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the internal structure is made more complex to allow imaging adjustment, then adaptability to various imaging requirements improves, but structural stability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimaging requirement accommodationVSAvoidinternal structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the internal structure into modular segments including a fixed portion, a movable portion, and a driving assembly, where each segment has a specific function. The movable portion contains the optical element and can be independently actuated, allowing imaging adjustment while the fixed portion maintains structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic structure where the movable portion can be driven to move relative to the fixed portion through the driving assembly, enabling adaptability to different imaging requirements while maintaining overall structural stability through the fixed portion and guiding mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the device is made slimmer for convenience, then ease of operation improves, but the stability of optical performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice portability and convenienceVSAvoidoptical performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a nested structure where the movable portion with the optical element is positioned within the fixed portion housing. The driving assembly is integrated within the same housing space, allowing the device to maintain a compact, slim profile while preserving the stability of optical performance through proper structural arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
