Innovation Solution

A device with an adjustable stirring member and controlled dissolving agent addition, featuring a stirring assembly with an L-shaped installing block, electric telescopic rod, and synchronized wheels for precise stirring and agent feeding, allowing real-time adjustment of stirring position and agent quantity based on cellulose levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If continuous addition of dissolving agents with stirring is used, then dissolution speed is accelerated, but the device cannot adjust the amount of dissolving agents according to cellulose amount

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedissolution speedVSAvoidadjustability of dissolving agent amount
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a movable stirring member that can be adjusted vertically along the stirring canister wall, allowing the stirring depth and position to be dynamically changed according to the amount of cellulose being processed. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the device to adapt to different cellulose quantities while maintaining effective dissolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent allows adjustment of multiple parameters including the vertical position of the stirring member, the stirring speed, and the amount of dissolving agent added. These parameter changes enable optimization of the dissolution process for different cellulose amounts, resolving the contradiction between maintaining high dissolution speed and achieving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If fixed stirring member position is used, then device structure is simple, but dead angles exist reducing dissolution completeness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestirring assembly structureVSAvoiddissolution completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The stirring member is designed to be movable along the stirring canister wall rather than fixed, allowing it to reach different positions and angles. This dynamic positioning eliminates dead angles where cellulose might not be properly stirred, ensuring complete dissolution without significantly complicating the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The stirring member can move not only vertically but also rotate around the stirring canister, adding a rotational dimension to the stirring action. This multi-dimensional stirring approach ensures comprehensive mixing of cellulose and dissolving agents, eliminating dead zones and improving dissolution completeness.

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

3Ease of operation

If stirring member height cannot be adjusted, then device operation is simple, but dissolution efficiency decreases for varying cellulose amounts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational simplicityVSAvoiddissolution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The stirring member height is made adjustable through a simple mechanical structure that allows vertical movement along the stirring canister. This dynamic height adjustment enables optimization of stirring effectiveness for different cellulose amounts while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive manual or automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable stirring member design serves multiple functions: it can be positioned at different heights, rotated around the canister, and controlled at varying speeds. This multi-functionality allows a single device to efficiently handle various cellulose amounts and types, improving dissolution efficiency without requiring multiple specialized devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
