Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electrolytic liquid generation systems face challenges in balancing disinfection efficiency and electrolytic liquid generation efficiency, making it difficult to optimize both functions simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
The system incorporates a controller that operates in multiple modes, adjusting the electrolytic liquid generation function and disinfection function independently, using a flow rate adjuster and electrolytic part to optimize either efficiency based on contamination levels, allowing for prioritization of either function depending on the mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the electrolytic liquid generation function is improved, then the generation efficiency of electrolytic liquid is improved, but the disinfection function deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The controller dynamically switches between first and second control modes based on operational requirements. In the first control mode, the system prioritizes electrolytic liquid generation efficiency by adjusting operational parameters for maximum productivity. In the second control mode, the system prioritizes disinfection function by adjusting parameters to enhance microbial elimination. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize for either function as needed.
2Reliability
If the disinfection function is improved, then the disinfection efficiency is improved, but the electrolytic liquid generation function deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The controller enables dynamic switching between operational priorities. When disinfection efficiency is prioritized (second control mode), the system adjusts electrolytic parameters to maximize microbial elimination capability. When electrolytic liquid generation is prioritized (first control mode), the system adjusts parameters to maximize liquid production. This resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptable to different operational goals.
3Device complexity
If the controller operates in a single mode, then the system structure is simple, but the ability to adjust balance between disinfection and generation efficiency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed with multi-functionality, capable of operating in at least two distinct control modes. The first control mode optimizes for electrolytic liquid generation efficiency, while the second control mode optimizes for disinfection efficiency. This universal design allows a single controller to perform multiple functions and adapt to different operational requirements, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and operational versatility.
