Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If industrial waste materials are used as raw materials, then environmental sustainability is improved and resource optimization is achieved, but manufacturing precision and material quality consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the classification parameters (particle size, shape, density) and blending ratios of industrial waste materials to achieve consistent material properties. The system adjusts these parameters to meet specific construction grade requirements while utilizing waste materials, thereby maintaining quality consistency despite the variable nature of waste inputs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite materials by blending industrial waste materials with traditional construction materials in controlled proportions. This composite approach allows the system to leverage the beneficial properties of waste materials while compensating for their inconsistencies through the stabilizing effect of conventional materials, achieving both sustainability and quality consistency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple grades of construction materials are produced to meet specific structure requirements, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the material production process into distinct classification stages (particle size classification, shape classification, density classification) and blending stages. This segmented approach allows the system to produce multiple grades of construction materials by selectively combining different material fractions, achieving grade customization without requiring completely separate production lines for each grade.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamics by making the blending ratios and material selections variable and adjustable based on the desired output grade. The system dynamically configures the composition of construction materials by changing the proportions of different waste material fractions and traditional materials, enabling flexible production of multiple grades through a single adaptable system rather than fixed, dedicated production lines.
