Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional calibration tools are used, then calibration function is provided, but operation convenience is poor and device complexity is high
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration tool is divided into multiple independent calibration parts (first calibration part, second calibration part, etc.) that can be separately disposed on the base. Each calibration part can be independently adjusted and positioned, allowing users to perform calibration operations more conveniently without dealing with a complex monolithic structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration parts are designed to be movable relative to the base and to each other, enabling dynamic adjustment during calibration. This dynamic capability allows users to easily position calibration surfaces at different locations and orientations, significantly improving operation convenience while maintaining relatively simple individual component structures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If calibration parts are fixed, then structure is simple, but adaptability to different calibration needs is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration parts are designed with movable connections to the base, allowing them to be positioned at different locations and orientations. This dynamic adjustability enables the same calibration tool to accommodate various calibration scenarios and surface configurations without requiring multiple specialized tools, thereby improving adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration tool is designed with a universal base structure that can support multiple types of calibration parts with different surface configurations. This multi-functional design allows a single calibration tool to perform various calibration tasks for different optical scanning devices, enhancing adaptability while avoiding the need for multiple specialized calibration tools.
3Measurement precision
If simple calibration surfaces are used, then manufacturing is easy, but calibration precision for three-dimensional alignment is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The calibration tool provides calibration surfaces in multiple dimensions (different heights, positions, and orientations) through the movable calibration parts. By arranging calibration surfaces at various spatial locations and angles, the system achieves three-dimensional alignment calibration capability, significantly improving measurement precision for optical scanning device alignment.
Solution Approach 2:
The calibration surfaces are segmented into multiple independent calibration parts, each providing specific calibration functions. This segmentation allows for precise control of each calibration surface's position and orientation, enabling high-precision three-dimensional alignment calibration while keeping each individual calibration part relatively simple in structure.

AI summary
An calibration kit includes a base, a combination of calibration parts, and a manipulation part. The combination of calibration parts is disposed on the base and includes a first calibration part and a second calibration part. The first calibration part has a first calibration surface. The second calibration part has a second calibration surface. The first calibration part and the second calibration part are relatively movable in a movement direction and are movable relative to the base. The manipulation part is movably or rotatably disposed on the base. The manipulation part is configured to be operable to drive the first calibration part and the second calibration part to move in the movement direction relative to the base, so that the combination of calibration parts forms a three-dimensional calibration surface configuration through the first calibration surface and the second calibration surface.
