Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If adsorption pipes are integratedly formed, then the device structure is simple, but the adsorption pipes cannot be replaced or maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidadsorption pipe replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The adsorption pipe is divided into multiple detachable sections that can be separated from each other. Each section can be independently removed and replaced, allowing maintenance without disassembling the entire pipe system. The segmentation includes dividing the pipe into upper and lower sections with connection mechanisms that enable easy assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection between adsorption pipe sections and the device body is made dynamic rather than fixed. Quick-connect couplings and detachable fastening mechanisms are implemented, allowing the adsorption pipes to be rapidly installed and removed without permanent attachment, thus enabling easy replacement while maintaining structural integrity during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of repair

If special tools are used to suck out waste materials, then the adsorption materials can be replaced, but the operations become inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadsorption material replacementVSAvoidreplacement operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adsorption pipe is segmented into removable sections that can be taken out as complete units. This allows adsorption materials to be replaced by simply removing and replacing pipe sections rather than extracting materials through complex suction operations, significantly simplifying the replacement process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adsorption pipe sections containing used materials are extracted as complete removable units from the device. This extraction mechanism eliminates the need for special suction tools and complex material removal procedures, allowing users to simply detach the pipe section and replace it with a new one.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of repair

If adsorption materials are filled during device operation, then replacement is possible, but the filling operation results in loose fill that reduces adsorption performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadsorption material replacementVSAvoidadsorption performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the adsorption pipe into removable sections, materials can be pre-filled and compacted outside the device, then installed as complete units. This eliminates the loose fill problem caused by attempting to fill materials through the device operation, ensuring proper material density and adsorption performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Adsorption materials are pre-filled and compacted into the pipe sections before installation. This preliminary preparation ensures proper material density and tight filling, avoiding the loose fill issue that occurs when materials are filled during device operation. The pre-prepared sections are then simply installed into the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Device complexity

If adsorption pipes are integratedly formed, then the device has fewer parts, but maintenance costs increase due to inability to replace individual components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of partsVSAvoidmaintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The adsorption pipe is segmented into multiple sections that can be independently replaced. This allows only the affected section to be replaced rather than the entire pipe system, reducing maintenance costs while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure with standardized connection interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
