Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If two cameras are obliquely arranged to achieve binocular vision, then three-dimensional detection capability is improved, but device size increases and structure becomes less compact
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two camera systems into a single integrated detection device with a unified optical path. The first and second cameras share common structural components including the light source, imaging components, and processing system, thereby achieving binocular vision functionality while reducing overall device volume and improving structural compactness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a light path deflection component that redirects light from the imaging components at oblique angles. This dimensional transformation of the optical path enables the cameras to capture three-dimensional information without requiring physical oblique arrangement of the camera sensors themselves, thus maintaining compact device geometry while achieving 3D detection capability.
2Device complexity
If a single camera simulates two virtual cameras to achieve binocular vision, then device complexity is reduced, but field of view decreases and detection accuracy for large objects is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the detection system into two independent camera subsystems (first camera and second camera), each with its own imaging component and optical path. This segmentation allows each camera to independently capture images from different angles, providing a comprehensive field of view while maintaining relatively simple individual camera designs that can be easily integrated.
3Device complexity
If 2D appearance detection is used to detect pin standing degree, then detection simplicity is maintained, but detection precision deteriorates due to field of view interference and material influence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional appearance detection to three-dimensional detection by incorporating the light path deflection component. This component redirects light to enable the cameras to capture pins from multiple angles and depths, creating a three-dimensional view that eliminates field of view interference and material-related detection artifacts, thereby significantly improving measurement precision while adding only moderate system complexity.
