Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If carbon dioxide absorption capacity is calculated based on material properties of concrete, then the calculation can be performed using existing product information, but the absorption capacity cannot accurately reflect changes over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static absorption capacity calculation into a dynamic system by introducing correction values that update the absorption capacity over time. The absorption capacity is no longer a fixed value based solely on material properties, but evolves based on actual usage conditions, environmental factors, and measured performance data, allowing it to accurately reflect changes throughout the product's lifecycle
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where actual measurement data of carbon dioxide absorption is compared with calculated values, and correction values are determined based on the difference. These correction values are then applied to update the absorption capacity in subsequent calculations, creating a closed-loop system that continuously improves accuracy based on real-world performance
2Device complexity
If absorption amount is calculated based solely on product information, then the system remains simple, but it cannot account for usage status and environmental factors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary calculations of absorption capacity based on product information before actual usage occurs. These preliminary values serve as baseline expectations that can be compared against actual measured data, enabling the system to detect deviations from predicted performance and apply appropriate corrections based on usage conditions and environmental factors

Implementation Method 1
carbon dioxide that penetrates from the surface into the interior through the fine gaps (capillary pores) in the concrete reacts with these cement hydrates and becomes fixed as calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
Implementation Method 2
carbon dioxide that penetrates from the surface into the interior through the fine gaps (capillary pores) in the concrete
