Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If large fully-automatic test apparatus is used to achieve high detection capacity and automation, then detection capacity and automation degree are improved, but structure becomes complicated and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional modules: a sample rack for holding multiple blood vessels, a rotating mechanism with friction heads for individual vessel manipulation, and a shaking mechanism with gripper and shaking block. Each module performs a specific function, allowing the system to achieve high automation through coordinated simple actions rather than a single complex mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If POCT products are used to achieve miniature size and simple operation, then device size and ease of operation are improved, but detection capacity is limited to single specimen and automation degree is low
Solution Approach 1:
The shaking device is designed to handle multiple types of blood vessels (vacuum blood vessels and peripheral blood vessels) and multiple specimens simultaneously. The sample rack can hold numerous vessels, the rotating mechanism can selectively manipulate different vessels, and the shaking mechanism can process them in sequence, making the device universal for various testing scenarios while maintaining simple operation.
3Device complexity
If manual operation is used to handle multiple specimens, then device complexity is reduced, but automation degree decreases and labor cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs self-service automation through its rotating mechanism that automatically selects and manipulates blood vessels, and the shaking mechanism that automatically shakes samples without manual intervention. The system serves itself by coordinating the rotation of friction heads with the activation of shaking mechanisms, eliminating the need for operators to manually shake each specimen while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.
