Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional scanner bases are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the function is too single and cannot meet more needs of the user

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The scanner base is transformed into a multi-functional device by integrating a central transmission component that enables data transmission between the scanner and PC, wireless transmission capabilities, charging functions, and calibration capabilities. This allows the base to serve multiple purposes: support, data communication, charging, and calibration, thereby resolving the contradiction between functional versatility and structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a central transmission component is added to enable data transmission, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capabilityVSAvoidcomponent quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions (data transmission, wireless communication, charging, calibration) into a single integrated base unit. The central transmission component combines wired and wireless communication capabilities, while the base itself integrates power delivery and calibration functions, reducing the need for separate devices and minimizing overall system complexity despite adding multifunctionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple data interfaces are provided for different transmission modes, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission modeVSAvoidinterface quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base is designed with multiple data interfaces (first data interface for wired connection, second data interface for wireless connection, third data interface for calibration) that share a common central transmission component. This universal design allows the same base structure to support multiple transmission modes and functions, achieving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a scanner base and a scanner. The scanner base includes a central transmission component, which is used for connecting to terminal devices, where the terminal devices at least comprise a PC and a scanner, and the scanner and the PC perform data transmission through the central transmission component. On the basis of the scanner base, when the scanner is placed on the scanner base, data intercommunication between the scanner and the PC can be realized for data transmission, such that a requirement of a user for performing data transmission when the scanner is placed on the base is met.
