Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of bent mountains is increased to increase filter area, then dust collection efficiency is improved, but adhesion between adjacent bent mountains occurs, reducing dust collection efficiency and increasing pressure loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical fixing methods (hot melt fixing) with an electrical field-based solution. Conductive patterns are formed on the filter fabric, and when voltage is applied, electrostatic repulsion forces act between adjacent bent mountains to prevent adhesion, eliminating the need for mechanical or thermal fixing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state and properties of the filter fabric by introducing conductive patterns with specific electrical characteristics. By controlling the conductivity, pattern geometry, and voltage application, the system achieves controllable electrostatic repulsion forces that prevent adhesion while maintaining filter performance.
2Reliability
If hot melt fixing is used to inhibit adhesion between bent mountains, then adhesion is reduced, but an additional process is required and fixing force is deteriorated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical/thermal fixing processes with an electrical field-based solution. Conductive patterns are formed on the filter fabric, and when voltage is applied, electrostatic repulsion forces act between adjacent bent mountains to prevent adhesion, eliminating the need for mechanical or thermal fixing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter fabric itself, through the conductive patterns integrated into its structure, provides the fixing function. The electrostatic repulsion forces are generated internally by the filter's own conductive elements when voltage is applied, eliminating the need for external fixing processes or additional materials.
3Productivity
If the space between non-woven fabric fibers is narrowed to increase dust collection rate, then dust collection efficiency is improved, but pressure loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses electrostatic forces to enhance dust collection without mechanically compressing the filter fabric to narrow fiber spaces. The conductive patterns generate electrostatic attraction forces that pull dust particles onto the filter fabric, achieving high collection rates while maintaining open fiber structures and low pressure loss.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution improves dust collection efficiency while minimizing pressure loss and adhesion between fibers, maintaining the wrinkle shape without additional fixing structures, and effectively collects fine dust particles using electric and Van der Waals forces.
Implementation Method 1
currents of opposite directions to each other may flow between the adjacent parallel patterns. When a voltage is applied to the conductive coating layer pattern, a repulsive force may act between the parallel patterns of adjacent connection parts.
Implementation Method 2
a charging unit disposed in a front of the dust collecting unit and charging a dust particle may be further included. The dust particles charged in the charging unit may be collected in the conductive coating layer pattern by an electric force and Van der Waals force.
Implementation Method 3
The dust particles charged in the charging unit may be collected in the conductive coating layer pattern by an electric force and Van der Waals force.
Implementation Method 4
The dust particles charged in the charging unit may be collected in the conductive coating layer pattern by an electric force and Van der Waals force.
