Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a snap ring and stepped hole are used to fix the rod sections, then the capacitance becomes invariable, but the processing complexity and production cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the fixing function from the chamber hole and transfers it to the holder component. The holder includes a positioning structure that fixes the first and second rod sections axially, eliminating the need for complex stepped hole processing in the chamber while maintaining capacitance stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder serves as an intermediary component between the rod sections and the chamber. It provides the positioning and fixing function that was previously required to be built into the chamber structure, simplifying the chamber hole processing while ensuring reliable fixation.
2Manufacturing precision
If the chamber hole is processed with high precision, then the connector installation is successful, but the production time and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the positioning and fixing function from the chamber hole structure and relocates it to the holder component. This allows the chamber hole to be processed as a simple through hole with lower precision requirements, while the holder's positioning structure ensures proper rod section fixation, thereby improving production efficiency.
3Device complexity
If the rod sections are movably connected, then the structure is simple, but the capacitance becomes variable causing performance deterioration
Solution Approach 1:
The holder acts as an intermediary that provides the necessary fixation between rod sections. It includes positioning structures such as positioning grooves and positioning protrusions that axially fix the first and second rod sections, ensuring invariable capacitance while keeping the overall structure simple and avoiding complex stepped hole processing.
