Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional construction methods are used without real-time monitoring and adjustment, then the construction process is simpler to manage, but production delays occur due to unpredictable ground conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback system where actual construction data (drilling parameters, ground conditions, production progress) is continuously monitored and compared against planned parameters. The control unit automatically generates adjusted method sequences based on deviations, creating a closed-loop control system that ensures on-schedule production while adapting to real-time conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual construction management with an automated computer-based control system. The control unit processes construction data, performs comparisons, and generates adjusted method sequences automatically, substituting human decision-making with algorithmic processing to improve reliability and consistency.
2Productivity
If manufacturing parameters are fixed in advance, then the construction process is easier to control, but production time increases when ground conditions change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms fixed manufacturing parameters into dynamic parameters that automatically adjust based on real-time ground conditions. The control unit modifies drilling parameters, production targets, and method sequences on-the-fly in response to changing conditions, enabling both high productivity and adaptability simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent systematically changes manufacturing parameters (drilling speed, torque, feed rate, production targets) based on detected ground conditions. The control unit selects from multiple predefined method sequences with different parameters, optimizing production speed while adapting to varying ground hardness, rock layers, or unexpected conditions.
3Loss of time
If detailed monitoring and real-time adjustments are implemented, then production delays are minimized, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple method sequences with different manufacturing parameters before construction begins. When ground conditions change, the control unit simply selects from these pre-prepared sequences rather than calculating new parameters from scratch, reducing real-time data processing complexity while maintaining rapid adaptability.
