Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional sighting devices use fixed aiming point sizes, then the device structure is simple, but users need to purchase multiple devices for different scenarios, increasing expenses and reducing ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the aiming point size adjustable rather than fixed. The reticle pattern can dynamically change its central aiming point size according to different shooting scenarios, allowing one device to serve multiple purposes. This is achieved through a display device that can project different reticle patterns with varying aiming point sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing a single sighting device that can perform multiple functions through variable aiming point sizes. Instead of requiring separate devices for different shooting scenarios, this one device can adapt to various needs by adjusting the aiming point size, thereby reducing the total number of devices needed.
2Ease of operation
If conventional sighting devices have fixed aiming point sizes, then manufacturing is simple, but users experience inconvenience and increased expenses
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables dynamic adjustment of aiming point size through user interaction. Users can change the aiming point size according to different shooting scenarios, improving ease of operation. The display device allows for flexible configuration of reticle patterns without requiring complex mechanical adjustments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users purchase multiple sighting devices with different aiming point sizes, then each device is optimized for specific scenarios, but it increases expenses and reduces convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal sighting device that can adapt to multiple shooting scenarios through variable aiming point sizes. Instead of maintaining separate specialized devices, this single device can configure different reticle patterns to match various shooting needs, thereby reducing the quantity of devices required.
Solution Approach 2:
The device utilizes parameter changes by varying the size of the central aiming point while maintaining the reticle pattern structure. This parameter adjustment allows the same device to serve different shooting scenarios, eliminating the need for multiple specialized devices.
