Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If prior art test systems use fixed conveying devices with slot-shaped receptacles, then test objects can be conveyed and tested, but the system becomes inflexible in terms of functionality and fail-safety
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into separable test objects that can be individually handled and tested. Each test object is separated into discrete units that can be independently conveyed, tested, and ejected, allowing flexible configuration of test sequences without requiring complex reconfiguration of the entire system.
Solution Approach 2:
The conveying device is designed with universal receptacles that can accommodate different types of test objects. The system can test various separable test objects using the same conveying mechanism, increasing functional flexibility while maintaining a relatively simple device structure.
2Productivity
If test systems process large numbers of test objects quickly for 100% testing, then productivity increases, but the complexity of managing and coordinating test sequences increases
Solution Approach 1:
Test objects are pre-separated into discrete units before entering the conveying device. This preliminary separation allows the system to efficiently process multiple objects through standardized receptacles and test sequences, increasing productivity while keeping control complexity manageable through routine automated operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs automated conveying and testing mechanisms that operate autonomously once test objects are loaded. The conveying device automatically transports test objects through the test station and ejection device without requiring complex manual coordination, enabling high-speed 100% testing with relatively simple control systems.

AI summary
A test system for a plurality of separable test objects, including a feeding device for the plurality of test objects, a conveying device with a conveying path for the plurality of test objects, a test station for inserting a test unit, an ejection device, a data transmission device and a first data interface. The feeding device is arranged and located in such a way that the plurality of test objects can be fed to the conveying device at a feeding position by the feeding device during operation of the test system. The test station is located at a testing position on the conveying path in a conveying direction downstream of the feeding position. The test station is arranged so that the test unit can be interchangeably connected to the test station, and the ejection device is located on the conveying path in the conveying direction downstream of the testing position.
