Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gas adjustment methods for combustion appliances, such as gas stoves and water heaters, are inaccurate and fail to meet the precise gas demands of these appliances, leading to inefficiencies and safety concerns.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for adaptive gas control that acquires multidimensional information about each appliance, generates a gas output control parameter based on this information, and adjusts the gas delivery accordingly to meet the specific demands of each appliance, including considerations of connection conditions and correlations between appliances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If gas adjustment is performed by directly adjusting the gas regulator or gas valve, then the operation is simple, but the gas delivery accuracy is insufficient and cannot meet combustion demands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the gas control system into multiple independent control units, each responsible for specific combustion appliances. The gas delivery pipeline is divided into multiple branches with individual control valves and regulators for each appliance, allowing precise independent control of gas flow to each device without affecting others.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts gas delivery parameters based on real-time combustion demands of different appliances. The control device receives demand information from multiple appliances and dynamically calculates optimal gas delivery amounts and pressures, adapting the gas supply to match actual combustion needs rather than using fixed settings.
2Productivity
If gas delivery pressure is increased to meet higher combustion demands, then the gas supply capacity is improved, but the safety risk increases due to flammable and explosive properties of gas
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts gas delivery pressure and flow rate based on real-time combustion demands. When multiple appliances require gas simultaneously, the control device calculates the total demand and adjusts the gas supply parameters accordingly, increasing pressure only when necessary and maintaining lower pressures when demand is low, thereby balancing supply capacity with safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback control by continuously monitoring combustion appliance demands and adjusting gas delivery parameters in response. The control device receives demand information from appliances and feedback on gas delivery conditions, then adjusts the gas supply to maintain safe operating parameters while meeting combustion needs.
