Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dual lens modules are used to improve photography and video recording capabilities, then visual enjoyment is enhanced, but occupied space increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the second optical module perpendicular to the first optical module, with their optical axes intersecting at the photosensitive element. This perpendicular arrangement in three-dimensional space allows dual lens functionality while minimizing the occupied volume compared to a parallel stacked configuration, effectively utilizing spatial dimensions to reduce device footprint.
2Volume of moving object
If lens module is made smaller to achieve miniaturization, then device size is reduced, but shock resistance becomes more difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a shockproof mechanism that includes a movable platform supporting the first optical module, a movable component supporting the second optical module, and a counterweight component. These counterweights are configured to offset the inertial forces generated during device shaking, thereby maintaining image stability and shock resistance even in a miniaturized lens module configuration.
3Volume of moving object
If electromagnetic driving assemblies are placed close together to reduce system volume, then miniaturization is achieved, but magnetic interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs electromagnetic driving assemblies with asymmetric magnetic element arrangements. The first electromagnetic driving assembly has magnetic elements arranged in a first direction, while the second electromagnetic driving assembly has magnetic elements arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first. This asymmetric, orthogonal configuration minimizes magnetic field interference between the two assemblies while maintaining compact dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a magnetic shielding component positioned between the first and second electromagnetic driving assemblies. This intermediary magnetic shielding component acts as a barrier to block or redirect magnetic field lines, reducing magnetic interference between the two closely-spaced electromagnetic driving assemblies and enabling miniaturization without compromising electromagnetic compatibility.
