Solution Overview
Problem
Existing antimicrobial floors using inorganic agents have delayed bactericidal effects, are not effective against fungi and molds, and require complex production processes with surface spraying, which is prone to damage and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the integration of organic and inorganic antimicrobial agents into an impregnating adhesive, followed by hot press forming with a substrate, simplifying production and enhancing durability and effectiveness against bacteria and fungi.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If inorganic antimicrobial agents are applied to floors, then safety and heat resistance are improved, but antimicrobial effectiveness is worsened with delayed bactericidal effect and inability to kill bacteria quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines organic antimicrobial agents (which act quickly) with inorganic antimicrobial agents (which provide safety and heat resistance) in a dual-agent system. This merging allows the floor to achieve both rapid bactericidal effect and long-term safety, resolving the contradiction between speed and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite antimicrobial materials containing both organic and inorganic agents. The composite structure leverages the strengths of each component: organic agents for rapid action and inorganic agents for sustained safety and thermal stability, thereby achieving both fast bactericidal effect and high reliability.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If inorganic antimicrobial agents are applied to floors, then heat resistance and durability are improved, but antimicrobial effectiveness is worsened against fungi and molds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges organic antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum antifungal properties and inorganic agents with heat resistance and durability. This combination creates a floor coating that is effective against bacteria, fungi, and molds while maintaining long-term durability and thermal stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite coating system integrates multiple antimicrobial mechanisms: organic agents provide broad-spectrum coverage including antifungal activity, while inorganic agents contribute to durability and heat resistance. This composite approach resolves the limitation of inorganic agents' narrow effectiveness spectrum.
3Reliability
If surface spraying method is used for antimicrobial coating, then production complexity is increased and production environment is influenced, but antimicrobial effectiveness is reduced due to coating damage and failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the antimicrobial agents directly into the floor coating material itself, eliminating the need for separate surface spraying operations. This integration simplifies the production process while ensuring the antimicrobial properties are embedded within the coating matrix, preventing damage and failure.
Solution Approach 2:
The antimicrobial agents are incorporated into the coating material during manufacturing before application to the floor. This preliminary integration ensures uniform distribution and protects the agents from damage during subsequent handling and installation, reducing production complexity and improving coating integrity.
