Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing safety inspection systems in high-risk facilities like power generation and petrochemical plants are prone to false information, accidental omissions, and misjudgments, leading to potential explosion accidents, and fail to update information quickly when facility conditions change.
Innovation Solution
A safety inspection solution that generates an identification code for demand targets, integrating equipment information, gas measurement, dust measurement, temperature data, access authority status, and estimated explosion location, enabling thorough information management and quick updates through a systemized approach.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a non-explosion-proof measuring and monitoring system is used, then installation cost is reduced and space restriction is minimized, but safety risk increases due to potential electrical defects or external shock causing fire or explosion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an explosion-proof enclosure as an intermediary protective structure that isolates the measuring and monitoring system from the hazardous environment. This allows non-explosion-proof equipment to be used while maintaining safety by preventing direct contact between potential ignition sources and explosive atmospheres.
2Ease of operation
If information is not updated when facility conditions change, then work process is simplified, but explosion accident risk increases due to false information or omissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system automatically detects changes in facility conditions (such as equipment location, gas usage amount) and triggers information updates. This ensures information accuracy without requiring manual intervention for every change, maintaining both simplicity and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-updating of information when changes are detected, eliminating the need for manual information updates. The facility management system automatically identifies changes in equipment location, gas usage, and other parameters and updates the database accordingly, reducing operational burden while ensuring accuracy.
3Device complexity
If manual inspection and information updating is performed, then system complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases due to time-consuming inspection processes and potential human error
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical inspection processes with automated electronic monitoring systems. Sensors and measurement devices continuously monitor facility conditions, automatically transmitting data to the management system, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual inspection while reducing system complexity through standardized electronic components.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a safety inspection solution for an explosion proof diagnosis, which: if demand target information is input via a safety inspection solution system connected to a supply target terminal, generates an identification code of a demand target by receiving the demand target information from the supply target terminal; and assigns the identification code of the demand target to a supply target so that the supply target terminal generates and manages the demand target information, and the demand target information comprises: equipment information received from an equipment inspection unit; the gas quantity measured by a gas inspection unit; the dust quantity measured by a dust measurement unit; the temperature measured by a temperature measurement unit; an access authority status of the demand target inspected by an access authority unit; and the expected explosion location measured by a location specifying unit, wherein the supply target terminal collects information regarding the received equipment information, gas quantity, dust quantity, temperature, access authority status of the demand target, and expected explosion location, and then provides the collected information to the demand target via the safety inspection solution system.
