Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual two-dimensional design is used to design normal surfaces for each rock quality, then design precision can be achieved, but the design time and labor cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical drawing operations with automated computer-based algorithms. The system uses drill boring information and three-dimensional topography data to automatically calculate and generate normal surface designs, eliminating the need for manual two-dimensional design while maintaining design precision through systematic computational methods
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates three-dimensional digital models that replicate and extend the two-dimensional design information into three dimensions. By generating three-dimensional surface data from automated calculations, the system preserves the precision of traditional design methods while adding spatial dimensionality and enabling automated updates when ground conditions change
2Extent of automation
If manual three-dimensional design is used to generate surface data from drawn lines, then three-dimensional design capability is achieved, but the complexity of the design process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual three-dimensional line drawing and surface generation with automated computational algorithms. The system directly generates three-dimensional surface data from drill boring information and topography data through systematic calculations, eliminating the complex manual process of drawing lines for each rock layer and generating surfaces from those lines
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the design process into distinct computational modules: processing drill boring information, analyzing rock quality variations, calculating normal surfaces for each rock layer, and integrating three-dimensional surface data. This modular approach manages complexity by breaking down the overall design task into manageable, automated computational steps
3Manufacturing precision
If redesign of all normal surfaces is performed when ground information changes, then design accuracy is maintained, but the time and cost for updates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual redesign operations with automated computational systems that can rapidly recalculate normal surfaces when ground conditions change. The system maintains design accuracy through systematic recalculation based on updated drill boring information while dramatically reducing update time and cost compared to manual redesign of all normal surfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a computational framework that is prepared in advance to handle ground condition changes. By setting up the automated calculation system with predefined parameters and relationships between rock layers, the system can quickly adapt to changes without requiring complete redesign, maintaining accuracy while improving update efficiency
