Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional steel pipe pile with spiral blade is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the ground biting capability is insufficient and installation is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveground biting capabilityVSAvoidtip member structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tip member is divided into distinct functional segments: a conical body part for penetration, streak projection parts for excavation, and a circular base part for attachment. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall structural integrity and ground biting capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a simple spiral blade on a cylindrical pipe to a three-dimensional conical structure with projection parts extending radially outward. This dimensional change creates multiple engagement points with the ground, significantly enhancing ground biting and excavation capabilities during rotation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If a conventional rotary penetrating pile with tapered parts and blades is used, then excavation can occur, but the structure is complex and the excavation efficiency is reduced due to boulder stone interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexcavation efficiencyVSAvoidtapered part structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the complex tapered structure from conventional designs and replaces it with a simpler conical body part combined with streak projection parts. This extraction of unnecessary complexity while retaining the essential conical penetration function allows for more efficient excavation by reducing structural interference with boulder stones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The conical body part utilizes a smooth curved surface that tapers uniformly from the base to the vertex. This curvature allows for continuous ground engagement during rotation, enabling the streak projection parts to effectively excavate material without the interference caused by angular or segmented structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Force

If the streak projection part extends linearly along the generatrix of the cone, then the excavation force is optimized, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexcavation forceVSAvoidstreak projection part alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The streak projection parts are positioned at specific locations on the conical body part, extending linearly along the generatrix from the maximum diameter section toward the vertex. This local positioning optimizes excavation force at critical zones while the conical geometry provides inherent guidance for manufacturing alignment, reducing overall precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
