Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If magnet members with different magnetic properties and intervals are used, then rotation attribute detection precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system is segmented into multiple magnet members with different magnetic properties (first magnetic property and second magnetic property) arranged at different intervals. Each magnet member contributes to detecting different aspects of rotation attributes, enabling precise detection through combined information from multiple segmented magnetic sources
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the second housing contain magnet members with locally optimized magnetic properties. The first magnet member has a first magnetic property suitable for detecting certain rotation characteristics, while the second magnet member has a second magnetic property for detecting other characteristics, allowing each local region to contribute its specialized detection capability
2Measurement precision
If multiple magnet members with different magnetic properties are used, then detection accuracy is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes magnetic parameters (magnetic strength, polarity, interval) of different magnet members to achieve diverse detection capabilities. By varying these parameters rather than using identical magnet members, the system achieves high detection accuracy while potentially using standard magnet manufacturing processes for each type
3Measurement precision
If magnet members are placed at different intervals, then rotation speed detection is improved, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the dimensional aspect of interval spacing as a new degree of freedom for detection optimization. By placing magnet members at different intervals (different spatial dimensions) rather than uniformly, the system can detect rotation speed through the temporal sequence of magnetic field variations as the housing rotates, converting spatial arrangement into temporal detection signals
