Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a complex passage shape is used to distribute air in parallel to multiple adsorption modules, then air distribution is achieved, but manufacturing becomes difficult and air distribution resistance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the air distribution system into multiple independent air distribution gaps, with each gap serving a specific adsorption module. The module holder is segmented into multiple parts (first holder, second holder, third holder) that can be separately manufactured and then assembled, replacing the need for a single complex passage shape.
Solution Approach 2:
The module holder acts as an intermediary component between the air source and the adsorption modules. It provides a simplified structure with multiple air distribution gaps that can be easily manufactured, serving as a mediator to deliver air to each module without requiring complex internal passages.
2Ease of operation
If a complex passage shape is used to distribute air in parallel to multiple adsorption modules, then air distribution is achieved, but manufacturing difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The module holder is divided into multiple separable parts (first holder, second holder, third holder) that can be manufactured independently using standard manufacturing processes. This segmentation allows each part to be produced separately and then assembled, significantly reducing manufacturing difficulty compared to producing a single complex passage shape.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a three-dimensional complex passage shape to a multi-component assembly structure. By distributing air through multiple gaps in the module holder rather than through a single complex internal passage, the design achieves air distribution functionality with simpler, more manufacturable components.
3Ease of operation
If a complex passage shape is used to distribute air in parallel to multiple adsorption modules, then air distribution is achieved, but air distribution resistance cannot be reduced sufficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The air distribution system is segmented into multiple separate air distribution gaps, each with its own flow path. This segmentation reduces flow resistance by eliminating the need for air to navigate complex passages, allowing parallel flow through multiple simpler channels that reduce overall air distribution resistance.

AI summary
An adsorption device includes disk-shaped adsorption module, and module holder for air insulation. The module holder includes a pair of end walls, a pair of connecting walls, a semi-cylindrical first shielding wall, and a semi-cylindrical second shielding wall. The pair of end walls are disposed on the adsorption modules of both end portions in a stacking direction with air distribution gaps sandwiched therebetween. The pair of connecting walls separate an outer circumferential portion of the plurality of air distribution gaps into an inflow region and an outflow region and connect outer circumferential edge portions of the pair of end walls. The first shielding wall shields 10 an outflow region outside the air distribution gap. The second shielding wall shields the inflow region outside the air distribution gap. The first shielding wall and the second shielding wall are disposed to alternately close the plurality of air distribution gaps in the stacking direction.
