Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional deodorization apparatus uses microorganism-retaining carriers, then deodorization is performed, but the apparatus does not operate properly across varying ammonia concentration and flow rate conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to varying ammonia concentration and flow rateVSAvoiddeodorization performance reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of the blower device to adjust gas flow rate in real-time based on sensor feedback about ammonia concentration and system performance. This allows the deodorization apparatus to adapt to varying inlet conditions while maintaining reliable operation within the optimal range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts multiple parameters including blower speed, water sprinkler frequency, and aeration intensity based on real-time measurements of ammonia concentration, temperature, and pH. These parameter changes enable the system to maintain effective deodorization across varying operating conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If conventional deodorization apparatus operates without monitoring, then device complexity is reduced, but it is not possible to appropriately monitor the state and determine maintenance timing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperating state informationVSAvoidmonitoring and control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback control system using sensors to monitor ammonia concentration, temperature, pH, and gas flow rate. This feedback enables real-time adjustment of operational parameters and provides information about system state and maintenance needs, resolving the contradiction between information availability and system complexity

Inventive Principle:
