Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a blasting vibration measurement device is separately installed to measure blasting vibration, then vibration measurement can be performed, but there is inconvenience due to separate installation and measurement often fails due to triggering setting error or vibration unrecognition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration measurement accuracyVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the vibration measurement sensor with the blasting device into an integrated system. The sensor is mounted on the blasting device itself, eliminating the need for separate installation of measurement equipment. This integration ensures that the measurement system is automatically positioned correctly and eliminates the operational complexities of separate installation and triggering synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If a blasting vibration measurement device is separately installed with triggering settings, then vibration measurement can be initiated, but measurement often fails due to triggering setting error or vibration unrecognition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the blasting device provides a start signal to the vibration measurement sensor. The sensor detects vibrations and sends data back to the blasting device, which processes the information and provides feedback on the blasting effects. This closed-loop feedback system ensures reliable measurement by synchronizing the measurement trigger with the actual blasting event and continuously monitoring vibration levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-positioning the vibration measurement sensor on the blasting device before blasting occurs. The blasting device stores blasting information and pre-configures the measurement parameters. When blasting is initiated, the system is already ready to capture vibration data immediately, eliminating triggering delays or failures that would occur with post-blasting analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If vibration measurement is performed separately from blasting operation, then vibration data can be collected, but there is inconvenience and confusion due to triggering point determination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration data completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the blasting control device and vibration measurement sensor into a single integrated system. The blasting device contains both the blasting control functionality and the vibration measurement capability, eliminating the need for separate systems to communicate and synchronize. This integration simplifies the overall system while ensuring complete vibration data collection, as the measurement is inherently synchronized with the blasting operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
