Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a photoelectric encoder is used for rotational positioning, then the positioning device can detect rotation angle, but the intense light in the stage light fixture interferes with the photoelectric encoder causing positioning error
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary medium between the rotor and stator. The rotor assembly with magnets generates a magnetic field that couples with the stator assembly's coils, enabling rotation detection without direct optical or electrical contact. This intermediary magnetic field transmits rotational information while isolating the sensing system from light interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the photoelectric (optical) encoding system with an electromagnetic coupling system. Instead of using light to detect rotation, the system uses magnetic field coupling between the rotor and stator assemblies. This substitution eliminates the vulnerability to light interference while maintaining rotation detection capability.
2Measurement precision
If a magnetic encoder is used for rotational positioning, then the positioning device can detect rotation angle, but the magnetic field intensity rapidly attenuates under high temperature causing reduced positioning accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a high-frequency periodic alternating current to continuously generate and refresh the magnetic field in the stator assembly. This continuous regeneration of the magnetic field prevents attenuation and maintains stable electromagnetic coupling between the rotor and stator, ensuring consistent positioning accuracy even under high temperature conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses high-frequency periodic alternating current and voltage to generate an alternating magnetic field that continuously oscillates and refreshes. This periodic action prevents magnetic field attenuation by constantly renewing the magnetic flux, maintaining reliable electromagnetic coupling between the rotor and stator assemblies under high temperature operation.
3Measurement precision
If photoelectric or magnetic encoders are used for rotational positioning, then the positioning device can detect rotation angle, but the intrinsic positioning accuracy remains relatively low causing light spot deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the electromagnetic coupling strength between the rotor and stator is continuously measured and used to determine the rotation angle. The system monitors the induced electromotive force in the stator coils resulting from rotor rotation, providing continuous feedback on positional information to achieve high-precision angular detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent detects rotation angle by measuring changes in electromagnetic coupling strength between the rotor and stator assemblies. As the rotor rotates, the magnetic coupling parameters change, and these parameter variations are converted into angular position information, enabling high-precision positioning through parameter transformation.
