QuickTest Mode for Mechanical Property Testing Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional universal testing machines require operators to set up multiple test parameters for even simple tests, making the testing process slow and cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
The introduction of a 'QuickTest' mode that allows operators to input a subset of frequently used test parameters, such as test direction and rate, through a preconfigured user interface, simplifying the testing process and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional universal testing machines require operators to set up multiple test parameters, then testing completeness is improved, but testing time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple test parameter sets corresponding to different material types (metal, plastic, rubber, etc.) and test standards. When a user selects a material type, the corresponding pre-configured parameter set is automatically loaded, eliminating the need for operators to manually set up each parameter from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically selects and configures test parameters based on the material type selection made by the user. The testing machine self-adjusts parameters such as test speed, load limits, and measurement ranges according to the selected material category, reducing manual intervention and setup time.
2Measurement precision
If conventional universal testing machines require operators to set up multiple test parameters, then testing accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Test parameter sets are pre-configured with optimal values for different material types and test standards, ensuring measurement accuracy is maintained while simplifying the user interface to only require material type selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides a universal interface that works across different material types and test standards. A single selection mechanism (material type choice) triggers the appropriate parameter configuration, making the system equally effective for testing metals, plastics, rubbers, and other materials without requiring separate操作流程 for each.
3Reliability
If conventional universal testing machines require operators to set up multiple test parameters, then test configuration completeness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Complete test parameter sets are pre-configured and stored in the system memory, organized by material type and test standard. This allows the interface to present only essential selection options to users while maintaining comprehensive test configuration capabilities in the background.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the complex parameter configuration process into a simple material type selection step. Behind this simple interface, the system manages multiple parameter categories (mechanical properties, test speeds, load limits, measurement ranges) as separate configurable modules that are automatically assembled based on the selected material type.
