Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a portable X-ray detector of a small size is accommodated in a receiving container that is provided according to a size of a portable X-ray detector of a large size, then the receiving container can accommodate detectors of various sizes, but the portable X-ray detector may move in the receiving container when the mobile X-ray imaging apparatus is moved, causing noise or damage
Solution Approach 1:
The detector support is designed to be tiltable and movable, allowing it to adapt its position and angle according to the size and shape of the inserted detector. The support can tilt to accommodate different detector dimensions while maintaining stable contact, thus preventing movement during apparatus operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The detector support acts as an intermediary element between the detector and the receiving container. It provides adaptive support and stabilization, enabling detectors of various sizes to be securely held without direct contact with the container walls, thereby preventing noise and damage.
2Reliability
If receiving units according to sizes of portable X-ray detectors having various sizes are provided to accommodate portable X-ray detectors of various sizes, then the portable X-ray detector can be stably accommodated, but the size of the receiving unit increases, limiting space utilization
Solution Approach 1:
The detector support is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a support structure and an adaptive positioning mechanism. It can adjust to accommodate detectors of various sizes within a single receiving container, eliminating the need for multiple specialized receiving units and optimizing space utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The detector support structure is designed to nest within the receiving container, allowing it to adapt its configuration based on the detector size. This nested design enables the support to provide stable accommodation for smaller detectors while maintaining a compact overall structure, thus improving space utilization.
