Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of a universal device for actuating pendulum mechanisms that is easy to install and operate, capable of working with both transverse and longitudinal types, and provides precise control.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising two assemblies, one mounted on the immovable part and one on the movable part of the pendulum mechanism, connected by a wire, with each assembly containing an electromagnet and a power source, and synchronized via transceivers to interact and move the movable part.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single electromagnet and metal plate system is used (as in D22), then the device can be simple in structure, but it cannot provide precise control of pendulum mechanism movements and is not universal for different pendulum types
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate assemblies: a first assembly mounted on the immovable part and a second assembly mounted on the movable part. Each assembly contains its own electromagnet, creating a segmented control system that provides precise control while maintaining simplicity. The segmentation allows independent optimization of each assembly's function and positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to be universal and adaptable to various pendulum mechanism types (transverse and longitudinal) and sizes. The two-assembly configuration with wire connection allows the device to work with different pendulum configurations without requiring redesign, achieving multi-functionality while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.
2Measurement precision
If precise positioning of electromagnet and metal plate is required (as in D22), then control precision can be improved, but installation becomes difficult requiring special skills
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the device into two assemblies mounted on different parts of the pendulum mechanism, the positioning requirements are distributed rather than concentrated. Each assembly can be positioned independently at standard mounting locations, eliminating the need for special skills to achieve precise relative positioning between electromagnet and metal plate.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire connection acts as an intermediary element that links the two assemblies without requiring direct physical contact or precise alignment between them. This intermediary approach allows flexible positioning while maintaining functional connection, greatly simplifying installation.
3Device complexity
If one electromagnet and one metal plate are used (as in D22), then the device is simple, but there is no precise control of pendulum mechanism movements
Solution Approach 1:
The control function is segmented into two independent electromagnets in separate assemblies, each capable of precise control. This segmentation provides finer operational control over the pendulum mechanism while keeping each individual component relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static single-electromagnet configuration to a dynamic two-assembly configuration where each assembly can be independently activated and controlled. This dynamic capability enables precise control of pendulum movements through coordinated operation of the two electromagnets.
