Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If single-sided heating is used in electric heating mosquito repeller, then device structure is simple, but heating efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating efficiencyVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heating system is segmented into two independent heating units, each responsible for heating one side of the mosquito-repellent pad. This segmentation allows simultaneous heating of both sides, doubling the effective heating area and improving overall heating efficiency without requiring a completely new system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from single-sided (one-dimensional) heating to double-sided (two-dimensional) heating by adding heating capability in the opposite direction. This dimensional expansion of the heating approach effectively doubles the heat treatment coverage area, resolving the contradiction between heating efficiency and structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If single-sided heating is used, then power consumption is low, but mosquito repelling effect is insufficient in high mosquito population environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemosquito repelling effectVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The mosquito repelling function is segmented into two parallel heating zones, each independently heating one side of the repellent pad. This ensures that the entire pad surface is actively contributing to mosquito repulsion, enhancing reliability in high mosquito population environments while distributing power consumption across two efficient heating elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Double-sided heating enables continuous and simultaneous heat treatment of both sides of the mosquito-repellent pad, ensuring that the repelling effect is maintained across the entire pad surface without interruption or inactive zones, thereby improving reliability of mosquito protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
