Innovation Solution

A multi-stage filtering system with an inner housing featuring a cylindrical holder mesh and auxiliary air inlets, along with a base plate coupling structure, facilitates oil and moisture filtration, enhances air flow, and prevents separation during impact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If oil adsorption paper is installed in the installation space, then oil filtration is achieved, but the paper may detach under high pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoil filtration reliabilityVSAvoidpaper attachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The holder mesh is constructed as a flexible cylindrical mesh structure that can be elastically deformed during installation and then maintains a tight fit around the oil adsorption paper. The flexibility of the mesh allows it to conform to the paper's shape and secure it firmly, preventing detachment under high pressure while maintaining ease of installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Productivity

If air flow path is provided through outer housing gap, then air flow is improved, but air may not be sufficiently absorbed in certain areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair flow efficiencyVSAvoidair absorption quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary air inlet is strategically positioned at specific locations on the inner housing to address local air flow deficiencies. This localized approach ensures that air is properly introduced in areas where the main inlet alone would be insufficient, optimizing overall air absorption and flow distribution through the filtration system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Strength

If inner housing is coupled to base plate, then structural support is provided, but separation may occur due to impact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural support strengthVSAvoidconnection reliability under impact
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling structure is divided into multiple engagement points through protrusions and corresponding grooves on the base plate. This segmented approach distributes impact forces across multiple locations rather than concentrating stress at a single point, preventing separation while maintaining structural support strength during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of operation

If holder mesh is used to support oil adsorption paper, then installation is facilitated, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation easeVSAvoidholder mesh manufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The holder mesh utilizes a porous or mesh-like structure that can be manufactured through standard processes such as wire weaving, knitted fabric production, or sintering. These established manufacturing methods produce the required porosity and flexibility without requiring complex fabrication steps, thereby maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving the desired installation simplicity and secure paper retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
