Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple Hall IC chips are positioned at the same location to improve measurement accuracy, then the sensor can compare signals for consistency, but all signals are distorted by external disturbances and accurate signal information cannot be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal consistencyVSAvoidexternal disturbance
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions multiple Hall IC chips at different spatial locations (different dimensions) relative to the magnetic element, specifically at different radial distances from the rotation axis. This dimensional differentiation allows each chip to experience different external disturbances, enabling the system to detect and correct for these disturbances by comparing measurements across dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

Each Hall IC chip is positioned at a specific local position with distinct characteristics (different radial distances), giving each chip unique local measurement qualities. This local differentiation allows the system to identify which measurements are affected by external disturbances and which are not, enabling selective weighting or correction of signals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If multiple Hall IC chips are used to improve measurement accuracy, then signal comparison can be performed, but the system cannot quickly detect and correct noise factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoidcorrection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary comparison of signals from multiple Hall IC chips positioned at different locations to detect external disturbances before they significantly affect measurement accuracy. By continuously monitoring signal differences between chips at different positions, the system can proactively identify and correct for disturbances, reducing the time needed for correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If Hall IC chips are positioned at the upper end of the magnetic element, then the structure is simple, but all chips acquire the same measured value and cannot detect external disturbances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor structureVSAvoiddisturbance detection
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of positioning all Hall IC chips at the same location (upper end of magnetic element), the patent distributes them across different dimensional positions, specifically at different radial distances from the rotation axis. This maintains relatively simple sensor structure while enabling disturbance detection through positional differentiation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
