Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple optical filters are mounted to perform multiple special observations, then the number of measurable types increases, but the device complexity and adjustment time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal measurement system where a single measurement apparatus can perform multiple special observations by detachably mounting different optical filter modules. Each filter module is designed with a standardized interface and identification mechanism, allowing the system to adapt to different measurement types without requiring separate dedicated devices for each observation type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the optical filtering function into separate, detachable filter modules rather than integrating all filters into a single complex unit. Each filter module is an independent component that can be individually mounted, detected, and adjusted. This segmentation reduces the complexity of the overall system by allowing filters to be changed independently without affecting other components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple optical filters are mounted to perform multiple special observations, then the number of measurable types increases, but the adjustment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates an identification mechanism in each filter module that automatically detects and communicates the filter type to the control unit before measurement begins. This preliminary identification action allows the system to pre-load the appropriate set values and adjustment parameters for the detected filter, eliminating the need for manual adjustment procedures and reducing the time required to switch between different special observations.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement system automatically adjusts its parameters based on the detected filter type without requiring manual intervention. The control unit receives identification information from the filter module and autonomously selects and applies the corresponding set values, making the system self-adjusting and eliminating the time-consuming manual adjustment process.
3Measurement precision
If complicated set values are adjusted manually when switching special measurements, then measurement precision can be maintained, but the switching time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the filter module's identification information is automatically detected and fed back to the control unit. Based on this feedback, the control unit automatically selects and applies the appropriate set values for the detected filter type. This closed-loop system ensures that the correct measurement parameters are always used, maintaining measurement precision while eliminating manual adjustment and significantly increasing switching speed.
