Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If high voltage is applied to measure electric resistance of the sheet, then measurement precision is improved, but device reliability deteriorates due to leakage voltage damaging electric devices
Solution Approach 1:
The moisture content sensor performs preliminary detection of sheet moisture content before the resistance sensor applies high voltage for electric resistance measurement. Based on the preliminary moisture detection result, the system determines whether to proceed with high voltage measurement or switch to alternative measurement methods, preventing device damage before it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the moisture content sensor to dynamically control the operation of the resistance sensor. When moisture content exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system adjusts or disables high voltage application to the resistance sensor, creating a closed-loop control that prevents device damage while enabling accurate measurement when conditions are safe.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sensors are used to detect various sheet characteristics, then measurement capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple sensors (moisture content sensor, resistance sensor, stiffness sensor) into an integrated sheet characteristic detection apparatus with a unified control system. The controller coordinates all sensors to detect various sheet characteristics through a single apparatus, reducing overall system complexity compared to separate detection systems while maintaining comprehensive measurement capability.
