Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of modeling whole vehicle systems in construction machinery leads to low efficiency and difficulty in modeling, as existing methods rely on standalone software, requiring high professional expertise and resulting in inefficient independent modeling of each module.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine and match user permissions with subsystems of construction machinery, allowing users to build and publish models into a library, enabling efficient modeling by allowing users to call published subsystem models and facilitating multi-user collaborative modeling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If standalone software is used for modeling each subsystem independently, then users can work on specific subsystems, but the overall modeling efficiency decreases and the process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of subsystem modelingVSAvoidmodeling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple standalone subsystem modeling tools into a single integrated modeling system. Different subsystems (hydraulic, electrical, control, mechanical) are modeled within one unified platform that allows seamless integration and interaction between subsystems, eliminating the need to switch between multiple software tools while maintaining ease of subsystem-specific modeling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The modeling system is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple subsystem types and modeling tasks within a single platform. The system provides unified interface and toolset that can adapt to different subsystem requirements, making it multi-functional rather than requiring separate specialized software for each subsystem type.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the whole vehicle model becomes more complex to include multiple systems, then the model completeness improves, but the modeling efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel completenessVSAvoidmodeling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The whole vehicle system is segmented into distinct subsystems (hydraulic, electrical, control, mechanical) that can be independently modeled and then integrated. Each subsystem maintains its own modeling characteristics while the integrated system provides complete vehicle-level modeling capability, allowing complexity to be managed through modular segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modeling structure implements a nested hierarchy where subsystem models are contained within the overall vehicle model. Subsystems can be independently developed and validated, then nested into the complete vehicle system model. This nested structure allows detailed subsystem modeling while maintaining efficient whole-vehicle system integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Manufacturing precision

If high professional requirements are imposed on users for multi-field modeling, then the model accuracy improves, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary integration layer that handles the complex interactions between different subsystems (hydraulic, electrical, control, mechanical). This intermediary layer manages the multi-field coupling automatically, allowing users to focus on their respective subsystems without needing to understand all interaction complexities, thus maintaining accuracy while improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses standardized interface templates and connection protocols that copy proven interaction patterns between subsystems. Rather than requiring users to define complex interaction mechanisms from scratch, pre-defined interface templates are used that replicate established modeling patterns, ensuring accuracy while simplifying the user process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
