Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual movement of detectors is used for sampling, then detection can be performed at different locations, but detection efficiency and real-time monitoring capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection coverageVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple sampling inlets from different locations are merged into a single sampling system that connects to one detection device. The sampling assemblies with multiple inlets collect gases from different areas simultaneously, and these samples are combined and analyzed by a single detection device, achieving both multi-location coverage and efficient detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The detection device serves multiple functions by analyzing samples from different locations through the sampling system. A single detection device can detect gases from multiple sampling inlets, making it versatile for monitoring different areas without requiring separate detectors for each location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If multiple detectors are deployed for different target areas, then real-time detection capability improves, but device complexity and management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of deploying multiple separate detectors, the system merges multiple sampling functions into a single integrated detection device. The sampling assemblies with multiple inlets bring samples from different areas to one detection device, reducing the number of detectors needed while maintaining real-time detection capability across multiple areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If manual movement of detectors is used, then detection coverage can be achieved, but time consumption and manpower requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection coverage areaVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The sampling assemblies are pre-configured with multiple sampling inlets positioned to access different areas. This preliminary arrangement of sampling points allows simultaneous collection of gases from multiple locations without requiring manual movement during operation, thereby expanding detection coverage while reducing time consumption.
