Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional gas combustors have fixed combustion angles, making them inadequate for various operation spaces and requiring multiple devices with different angles, leading to unnecessary waste and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A gas combustor design featuring a fixed housing and a rotary housing with a locking mechanism, allowing the combustion device to be adjusted to various angles by compressing a spring and releasing teeth from slots, enabling the user to set a desired angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the combustion device is fixedly arranged at a specific angle, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to different operation spaces is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed-angle combustion device into an adjustable-angle device. The combustion device can be rotated relative to the gas storage tank and locked at different angles (such as 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°) using a locking mechanism with teeth and slots. This allows the device to adapt to various operation spaces while maintaining structural simplicity through a straightforward rotation and locking system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple gas combustors with different angles are prepared, then the adaptability to different operation spaces is improved, but the loss of substance increases due to unnecessary waste
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements the universality principle by designing a single gas combustor that can perform multiple functions across different operation spaces. The adjustable-angle combustion device allows one unit to replace what would traditionally require multiple fixed-angle devices, enabling users to adapt the same device to various combustion operations regardless of space constraints, thereby eliminating the waste associated with purchasing and discarding unused specialized devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the combustion device is made longer to reach objects in small spaces, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dimensionality change principle by shifting from extending length to adjusting angle as the primary means of reaching objects in small spaces. Instead of making the combustion device longer, the device allows angular adjustment of the combustion chamber relative to the gas storage tank. This enables the flame to reach targets at different spatial orientations without increasing the overall length of the device, maintaining compactness while improving reachability.
