VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the pump motor and nozzle motor maintain constant rotational speed, then the device operation is simple and stable, but the pesticide spraying uniformity deteriorates due to flight speed variations and external disturbances

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic speed adjustment of the pump motor and nozzle motor based on real-time flight speed detection. The control system continuously monitors flight speed and adjusts motor rotational speeds accordingly, transitioning from static constant-speed operation to dynamic variable-speed operation to maintain spraying uniformity under varying flight conditions

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a feedback control mechanism where the microcontroller receives flight speed information from sensors, processes this data, and adjusts the pump motor and nozzle motor speeds accordingly. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that spraying parameters are continuously optimized based on actual flight conditions, resolving the contradiction between operational simplicity and spraying uniformity
