Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a complex installation process is used for analyte detection devices, then the device can be securely attached, but the installation becomes inconvenient and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The buckle and the analyte detection device are merged into a single integrated assembly, where the buckle is pre-connected to the device body. This integration eliminates separate attachment steps and simplifies the installation process while maintaining secure connection through the unified structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The parallel slider module provides dynamic adjustment capability, allowing the buckle position to be adjusted along the slider track during installation. This dynamic positioning enables the device to adapt to different anatomical contours while maintaining secure attachment, and the module can be easily repositioned if needed.
2Reliability
If a complex installation process is used for analyte detection devices, then the device can be securely attached, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the buckle directly with the analyte detection device body, the patent reduces the number of separate components that need to be manufactured and assembled. This merging of components simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps, and lowers production costs while maintaining the secure attachment function.
3Reliability
If the buckle is engaged with the annular structure, then the analyte detection device is fixed on the parallel slider module, but the device cannot be easily removed
Solution Approach 1:
The parallel slider module enables dynamic control of the buckle engagement. During installation, the slider moves to engage the buckle with the annular structure for secure fixation. For removal, the slider can be reversed or repositioned to disengage the buckle, providing easy device removal while maintaining secure attachment during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism is segmented into distinct engagement and disengagement phases controlled by the parallel slider. The buckle can be selectively engaged or disengaged from the annular structure by moving the slider, allowing the device to transition between fixed and removable states as needed.

AI summary
Provided is an installation unit of an analyte detection device. A buckle structure of a parallel slider module is in contact with an annular structure of the analyte detection device, so that releasable connection is formed between the parallel slider module and the analyte detection device; when the parallel slider module is located at a distal end, the analyte detection device is fixed on the parallel slider module, and after the parallel slider module slides to a proximal end, the analyte detection device is automatically separated from the parallel slider module.
