Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a handy type optical measuring instrument without pre-designed positioning structures is incorporated into an automatic measurement system, then the system's versatility is improved, but the installation time and positioning precision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A positioning member is introduced as an intermediary component between the optical measuring instrument and the installation mount. The positioning member includes a first joint that connects to the installation mount and a third joint that connects to the optical measuring instrument's opening, serving as a mediator that enables precise positioning without requiring pre-designed structures on the instrument itself
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning member is prepared in advance with predefined joint structures. The first joint is designed to connect to the installation mount and the third joint to connect to the optical measuring instrument's opening, allowing for quick and accurate installation without time-consuming alignment procedures
2Adaptability or versatility
If a handy type optical measuring instrument without pre-designed positioning structures is incorporated into an automatic measurement system, then the system's versatility is improved, but the positioning precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning member acts as a precision intermediary that transfers the positioning function from the installation mount to the optical measuring instrument. The first joint connects to the installation mount with high precision, and the third joint connects to the instrument's opening, ensuring accurate positioning without requiring pre-designed structures on the instrument
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning member utilizes the existing opening structure of the optical measuring instrument (which defines the optical path) as a self-provided positioning feature. The third joint of the positioning member connects to this opening, allowing the instrument's own structure to serve the dual purpose of optical function and positioning reference
3Manufacturing precision
If conventional positioning techniques are used for optical measuring instruments, then the positioning precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to time-consuming alignment procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning member serves as a pre-fabricated intermediary component that eliminates the need for time-consuming alignment procedures. It includes a first joint for connecting to the installation mount and a third joint for connecting to the optical measuring instrument's opening, providing a straightforward installation process while maintaining high positioning precision
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning member is pre-configured with the appropriate joint structures before installation. The first joint is designed to match the installation mount's second joint, and the third joint is designed to match the optical measuring instrument's opening, allowing for quick and easy connection without requiring complex alignment procedures during installation
