Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If water is continuously drawn up and circulated to form a water curtain for blocking fine dust, then fine dust blocking effectiveness is improved, but power consumption increases excessively and water heating is required to prevent freezing
Solution Approach 1:
The water circulation system operates periodically rather than continuously. The controller activates the water pump only when fine dust is detected by the sensor, turning it off when no dust is present. This periodic operation maintains dust blocking effectiveness while dramatically reducing power consumption and eliminating the need for continuous water heating.
Solution Approach 2:
A sensor detects the presence of fine dust and provides feedback to the controller, which then adjusts water pump operation accordingly. When dust is detected, the controller activates the pump to create the water curtain; when dust is absent, the pump turns off. This feedback mechanism ensures reliable dust blocking only when necessary, optimizing energy consumption.
2Reliability
If water is continuously circulated to block fine dust, then dust blocking is maintained, but odors and stench occur due to repeated use of water, requiring periodic washing
Solution Approach 1:
The water circulation operates periodically based on dust detection rather than continuously. By activating the water pump only when fine dust is present and turning it off when the air is clean, the system maintains effective dust blocking while minimizing water stagnation time, thereby preventing odor and stench generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the water circulation to serve multiple functions: dust blocking during operation and self-cleaning when dust is detected. The water flow helps flush accumulated dust and prevents stagnation, reducing odor generation without requiring separate cleaning systems.
3Ease of operation
If a predetermine level of power is applied to the conduction unit, then the apparatus is simple to operate, but when wind has strong strength or large amount of fine dust is introduced, the fine dust blocking apparatus may not properly collect the fine dust
Solution Approach 1:
The power applied to the conduction unit is dynamic rather than fixed. The controller adjusts the power level based on real-time dust concentration and wind speed data from sensors. When dust levels are high or wind is strong, the controller increases power to the conduction unit to maintain effective dust collection, while using lower power when conditions are favorable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the electrical parameter (power level) applied to the conduction unit based on environmental conditions. Sensors detect dust concentration and wind strength, and the controller adjusts the voltage or current accordingly, optimizing dust collection effectiveness across varying operational conditions while maintaining simple automated operation.
