VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If hydraulic pressure is used to generate torque in the impact device, then torque output is achieved, but torque adjustability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetorque outputVSAvoidtorque adjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the hydraulic pressure adjustable rather than fixed. The hydraulic pressure adjusting unit allows the hydraulic pressure to be dynamically changed according to different working conditions, enabling torque adjustment while maintaining the hydraulic torque generation mechanism. This transforms a static system into a dynamic one where key parameters can be modified to adapt to different requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent directly implements parameter changes by providing a hydraulic pressure adjusting unit that modifies the hydraulic pressure parameter. By changing the hydraulic pressure from a fixed value to an adjustable parameter, the system can output different torque values to meet various user demands while still utilizing hydraulic pressure for torque generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If hydraulic pressure adjusting unit is added to enable torque adjustment, then torque adjustability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetorque adjustabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hydraulic pressure adjusting unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it adjusts hydraulic pressure for torque control, and can potentially serve other pressure-related functions within the impact device. By making this component multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving torque adjustability.
