1Productivity

If traditional design methods are used to design fan blades, then the design can be performed with basic tools, but the design efficiency is low and requires extensive verification of test data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign efficiencyVSAvoiddesign process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by establishing quantitative relationships between blade parameters (chord length, camber, height) and impeller parameters (diameter, number of blades). By transforming the design process into parameter calculation based on formulas and optimization curves, the method eliminates the need for extensive trial-and-error testing while maintaining design efficiency and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical trial-and-error design with a mathematical modeling approach. By using optimization curves and calculation formulas, the design process is substituted from physical experimentation to mathematical computation, significantly reducing the verification steps required while improving design efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If extensive verification of test data is performed to ensure design meets working conditions, then the design reliability is improved, but the design process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign reliabilityVSAvoiddesign time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing optimization curves and calculation formulas that encapsulate the results of extensive testing. These pre-computed relationships allow designers to directly obtain reliable blade parameters without performing time-consuming verification tests during the actual design process, thus reducing design time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by creating mathematical models and optimization curves that replicate the results of extensive physical testing. Instead of repeatedly performing physical tests, the method copies the essential relationships through mathematical formulations, providing reliable design data much faster.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains manufacturing precision by using mathematically rigorous parameter relationships. The optimization curves and calculation formulas are derived from systematic analysis, ensuring that the simplified design process produces precise blade parameters (chord length, camber, height) that meet working conditions without sacrificing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
