Control Valve Design File Integration and Parameter Calculation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing control valve design software is inefficient due to the need for users to search through multiple files for similar control valve parameters and lacks language selection functionality, leading to complex and time-consuming design processes.
Innovation Solution
A parameter selection and calculation system with a file management unit that integrates control valve design files for similar forms and a language selection unit, allowing users to input and retrieve design parameters through a user-friendly interface, while a control valve logic operation unit generates specification tables for creating control valves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If control valve design files are stored separately for each specific control valve form, then each file can be dedicated to a specific valve type, but users must search through multiple files and spend more time finding related parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple control valve specification tables for similar valve forms into a single integrated file. The system groups control valves by form category and stores their specification tables together, allowing users to access related parameters in one location rather than searching across multiple separate files.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal file structure that can accommodate multiple control valve specification tables for different but related valve forms within a single file. This multi-functional approach allows the same file to serve multiple valve types while maintaining organized access to their respective parameters.
2Ease of operation
If the software includes multiple language options, then user accessibility and convenience are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the language functionality into a separate, modular language selection unit that operates independently from the core control valve design functions. This allows the system to support multiple languages without significantly complicating the main software architecture, as each language can be handled as a distinct module.
3Device complexity
If users must input all design parameters manually each time, then the system maintains simplicity, but the design process becomes complicated and time-consuming for similar control valves
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-storing specification tables with design parameters for various control valve forms in the system. When users need to design a control valve, they can access these pre-prepared tables and modify them as needed, rather than creating parameters from scratch each time. This significantly speeds up the design process for similar control valves.
Data Source
AI summary
A parameter selection and calculation system for control valves has a file manage unit for integrating and storing the files generated in operation. In that, the control valve specification table for control valves of similar forms can be stored in one control valve design file instead of being stored in various different files. Furthermore, a language selection unit provides the function that a user can select a desire language for operating. Moreover, a user can enter into a numerical input unit for inputting related design parameters for a specific control valve or getting related design parameters by selected proper control valve forms in the control valve design database. Then these data are formed as control valve parameter tables acceptable by the control valve logic operation unit. Then the control valve logic operation unit will operate to get a control valve specification table by using the control valve parameter tables.
