Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a time chart recipe is created using conventional methods with multiple blocks and steps, then the pushup sequence can be controlled, but the creation process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of creating time chart recipeVSAvoidcomplexity of pushup sequence configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pushup sequence is divided into multiple independent blocks, where each block can be configured and controlled separately. This segmentation allows operators to manage complex pushup operations through modular units rather than handling the entire sequence as one complex entity, thereby simplifying the configuration process while maintaining operational capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically generates the time chart recipe based on predetermined parameters and block configurations. By performing the recipe generation as a preliminary automated action rather than manual configuration, the system eliminates the time-consuming and complicated manual creation process while ensuring consistent and accurate pushup sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple blocks are used for independent operation, then the pushup sequence precision is improved, but the difficulty of creating and managing the time chart recipe increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of pushup sequenceVSAvoidtime to create time chart recipe
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit automatically generates the time chart recipe by processing the configured block parameters and sequence settings. This self-service capability eliminates the need for manual recipe creation, allowing the system to maintain high precision multi-block control while automatically handling the complex task of time chart generation, thus saving operator time and effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
