Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a complex arrangement of CNC mechanism and camera is used for automatic cosmetic application, then the precision and functionality are improved, but the device size and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera system, CNC mechanism, and control unit into a single integrated portable device. The camera captures lip images, the CNC mechanism executes precise movements based on G-code generated from the images, and all components are housed together in a compact structure, eliminating the need for separate bench equipment while maintaining recognition precision and application accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The device integrates multiple functions into a single system: the camera performs both image capture and lip region detection, the CNC mechanism handles both positioning and cosmetic application, and the control unit manages both G-code generation and mechanism coordination. This multi-functionality reduces the overall system volume while maintaining precision
2Productivity
If traditional bench equipment is used for CNC cosmetic application, then the functionality is complete, but the speed and portability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the camera, CNC mechanism, and control unit into a single portable device, the system eliminates the need for separate bench equipment setup, enabling faster operation and greater flexibility. The integrated design allows the device to be moved between users and locations without requiring complex bench installation, thereby improving both speed and portability simultaneously
3Manufacturing precision
If G Codes are used for controlling CNC movement, then the precision of cosmetic application is improved, but the complexity of image processing and code generation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that converts captured lip images into G-code commands through automated image analysis and path planning algorithms. This intermediary system handles the complexity of translating visual data into precise movement instructions, allowing the CNC mechanism to focus solely on executing the G-code with high precision without requiring manual intervention in the complex processing steps
