VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional fixed preparation parameters are used, then the preparation process is simple, but the preparation efficiency and quality consistency deteriorate due to inability to adapt to actual slurry parameter variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreparation efficiencyVSAvoidparameter adjustment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic parameter adjustment by establishing a mathematical model that calculates loading reference values based on real-time slurry parameters (fiber length, pH value, solid phase content). The grouting pressure and holding time are dynamically adjusted according to the calculated loading reference value, transforming the static preparation process into a dynamic adaptive system that responds to actual material conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback control mechanisms where the actual grouting amount is monitored during the process and compared with the preset grouting amount. Based on the difference, the grouting pressure holding time is automatically adjusted. Additionally, the thickness of the blank tube is detected and fed back to adjust suction pressure, creating closed-loop control that continuously optimizes preparation parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If loading reference value is determined without considering actual slurry parameters, then the preparation process is straightforward, but the manufacturing precision and quality consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloading reference value accuracyVSAvoidparameter determination system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the determination method of loading reference value from a fixed empirical approach to a parameter-based calculation approach. The loading reference value is calculated using a mathematical model that incorporates three key slurry parameters: fiber length (L), pH value (pH), and solid phase content (G). This transforms the loading reference value from a constant to a variable that adapts to actual slurry conditions, significantly improving accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary measurement and calculation of slurry parameters before the actual grouting process. The fiber length, pH value, and solid phase content are measured in advance, and the loading reference value is calculated beforehand based on these measurements. This preliminary action ensures that the correct parameters are ready before production begins, avoiding delays during the grouting process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If grouting pressure holding time is fixed, then the control process is simple, but the grouting quality and thickness consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrouting thickness consistencyVSAvoidparameter adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control for grouting pressure holding time by monitoring the actual grouting amount during the process. A grouting meter measures the real-time grouting amount and compares it with the preset grouting amount. Based on the difference, the control system automatically adjusts the grouting pressure holding time to ensure the actual grouting amount matches the target, thereby guaranteeing thickness consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual monitoring and adjustment of grouting parameters with automated detection and control systems. A grouting meter automatically measures the grouting amount, and an ultrasonic thickness gauge detects the blank tube thickness. These measurements are fed back to the control system, which automatically adjusts the grouting pressure holding time without manual intervention, improving both precision and ease of operation.

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

4Manufacturing precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblank tube quality consistencyVSAvoiddetection and adjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control for suction pressure by using an ultrasonic thickness gauge to detect the thickness of the blank tube during the suction process. The detected thickness is compared with the gap inside the mold, and based on the difference, the suction pressure is automatically adjusted. This ensures that the blank tube achieves the desired thickness and quality consistency while maintaining efficient production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs thickness detection and suction pressure adjustment in a continuous manner during the blank tube formation process. The ultrasonic thickness gauge continuously monitors the blank tube thickness, and the suction pressure is adjusted in real-time without interrupting the production flow. This continuous action ensures quality consistency while minimizing additional time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
