Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the treatment unit is detachably coupled with the vibrator unit, then the adaptability and ease of repair are improved, but the reliability may deteriorate due to potential connection issues and impedance mismatches at the connection interface
Solution Approach 1:
The detecting section continuously monitors the coupling state between the treatment unit and vibrator unit, providing feedback to the supply control section. This feedback mechanism ensures that power is only supplied when properly coupled, maintaining reliability while allowing detachable coupling for adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmitting connection section acts as an intermediary between the proximal-side and distal-side vibration transmitting sections. It is specifically designed to connect at the anti-node position, serving as a reliable interface that maintains vibration transmission while enabling detachable coupling.
2Productivity
If power is continuously supplied to the vibration generating section, then the productivity and duration of action are improved, but the loss of energy and safety risks worsen when the treatment unit is not coupled
Solution Approach 1:
The detecting section provides real-time feedback on the coupling state to the supply control section, which adjusts power supply accordingly. This ensures continuous power supply during coupled operation for productivity while preventing energy waste when uncoupled.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply state is dynamically adjusted based on the coupling condition. The supply control section changes the power supply from continuous to interrupted based on real-time detection, optimizing both productivity and energy efficiency.
3Productivity
If the transmitting connection section is positioned at the anti-node position, then the vibration transmission efficiency is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements worsen due to precise positioning needs
Solution Approach 1:
The detecting section automatically detects when the treatment unit is properly coupled at the anti-node position, eliminating the need for manual precision alignment. The system self-verifies the correct positioning through electrical connection detection, maintaining manufacturing efficiency while ensuring precise positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The detecting section provides feedback on the coupling state, confirming that the transmitting connection section is properly positioned at the anti-node location. This feedback mechanism ensures optimal vibration transmission without requiring complex precision manufacturing.
