Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users find it difficult to understand and set appropriate parameters for the operation of automatic sample injection devices, making it challenging to tailor the injection process to specific purposes or applications.
Innovation Solution
An automatic sample injection device with an operation condition setting part and an information display device that presents a clear operation condition setting screen, allowing users to set and confirm parameters for each process, facilitating the selection and editing of presets and displaying accompanying information to enhance understanding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the injector is controlled based on lots of parameters set beforehand by a user, then the operation can be automated, but it becomes difficult for users to understand which parameter corresponds to which process and hard to set appropriate parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The operation parameters are segmented and organized by process stages (washing process, sample injection process, post-injection washing process). Each process has its own dedicated parameter settings, allowing users to understand and control each stage independently rather than dealing with a monolithic set of parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The operation condition setting screen acts as an intermediary interface between the user and the complex parameter system. It presents parameters in a structured, process-oriented format that mediates the complexity, showing users which parameters affect which processes without requiring them to understand the underlying complex control logic.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple parameters are set for different processes, then the injection can be tailored to specific purposes, but the complexity of parameter setting increases
Solution Approach 1:
Parameters are segmented by process type (washing, injection, post-washing) and further segmented by specific operations within each process. This segmentation allows high adaptability for different applications while keeping the interface organized and manageable through clear categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The parameter setting interface is dynamic and adaptive, allowing users to configure parameters according to their specific needs. The system can adjust the displayed parameters and options based on the selected process type, providing versatility without overwhelming the user with all possible parameters simultaneously.

AI summary
An automatic sample injection device includes: an injector (2) including a sampling mechanism (10) for sucking and dispensing a liquid, the injector (2) being configured to conduct a series of operations related to an injection of a sample into an analysis device; an operation condition setting part (16) configured to set operation conditions of the injector (2) in each of a plurality of processes included in the series of operations, based on a plurality of parameters which are set; and an information display device (6) configured to display information. In setting the operation conditions, the operation condition setting part (16) is configured to display an operation condition setting screen, in which an operation condition field for indicating the operation conditions for each of the processes reflecting the plurality of parameters which are set is included, on the information display device, and the operation condition setting part (16) is configured, when an operation to determine the plurality of parameters has performed by a user, to set the operation conditions based on the plurality of parameters which are currently set.
