Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If golfers use putters without force feedback devices, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision of force application is poor leading to inaccurate putting shots
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the pressure inductive sensor detects the force applied by the golfer during the putting stroke, and the display screen provides real-time visual feedback on the force accumulation value. This allows the golfer to adjust their force application in real-time to achieve the desired putting accuracy, directly resolving the contradiction by providing precise measurement capability through the sensor system while maintaining relatively simple device integration into the grip structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical feel-based force estimation with an electronic pressure inductive sensor system. The sensor converts mechanical pressure into electrical signals that can be processed and displayed, providing precise quantitative measurement of force application. This substitution enables accurate force measurement without requiring complex mechanical measurement mechanisms, thus improving measurement precision while controlling device complexity.
2Productivity
If golfers rely on long-term training to master putting force without reference values, then the device complexity remains low, but the productivity of learning and improving putting accuracy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides preliminary information to the golfer by displaying the force accumulation value before the actual stroke is completed. The sensor detects and displays the force applied during the setup and acceleration phases, allowing the golfer to adjust their force application in real-time before the ball is struck. This preliminary feedback mechanism significantly improves learning efficiency by providing immediate guidance on force control, while the integrated sensor system adds minimal complexity to the overall grip structure.
3Manufacturing precision
If real-time force display is implemented, then the accuracy of hitting strength control is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional sensors and display components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into a unified system where the pressure inductive sensor serves both as a force detection device and as part of the grip structure. The display screen provides real-time force feedback while being integrated into the grip assembly. This multi-functional integration allows the system to achieve precise hitting strength control without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the sensor and display components serve dual purposes within the grip system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system between the pressure inductive sensor and the display screen. The processor converts the analog signal from the sensor into a processable digital signal and computes the force accumulation value before display. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the signal processing function, making the system more modular and easier to manufacture while maintaining precise force control capability.
