Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the engine is replaced or repaired to fix combustion inefficiency, then the combustion efficiency and performance can be improved, but the time and cost required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombustion efficiencyVSAvoidrepair time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical engine repair with an electrical signal processing system. The impulse signal generator and amplifier circuit modify the electrical signals to spark plugs and fuel injectors, optimizing combustion without mechanical intervention. This substitutes a complex mechanical repair process with a simpler electrical signal modification approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of electrical signals (voltage, current, pulse duration) delivered to spark plugs and fuel injectors through the amplifier circuit. By adjusting these electrical parameters, the system optimizes combustion efficiency without requiring physical engine modifications or repairs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Power

If excessive fuel is sent to the combustion chamber to compensate for poor combustion, then power output can be maintained, but mechanical wear and torque loss increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the impulse signal generator and amplifier circuit continuously monitor and adjust the electrical signals to spark plugs and fuel injectors. This optimization ensures complete combustion of the intended fuel amount, eliminating the need to over-fuel the engine and thereby preventing excessive mechanical wear while maintaining power output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If traditional engine repair methods are used to address combustion issues, then combustion efficiency can be improved, but the complexity and cost of the solution increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the combustion optimization function from the mechanical engine structure and implements it as a separate electrical signal processing system. The impulse signal generator and amplifier circuit are independent components that interface with the existing engine management system, separating the diagnostic and optimization functions from the mechanical engine repair process.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary impulse signal generator and amplifier circuit between the vehicle's electrical system and the spark plugs/fuel injectors. This intermediary component conditions the electrical signals, providing the necessary amplitude and pulse characteristics for optimal combustion while filtering out harmful electrical interference that could affect other electronic units in the vehicle.

Inventive Principle:
