Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a gas detection module with a gas purification device into an integrated system. The detection module includes a gas sensor that communicates with a control unit, which in turn controls the purification unit. This merging of detection and purification functions into a single device achieves real-time air quality monitoring and automated purification without requiring separate standalone devices, thus improving reliability while managing device complexity through functional integration.

2Ease of operation

If a detachable gas detection module is used, then the ease of operation and maintenance is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gas detection module is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the main gas purification device. The module includes a housing, gas sensor, and control unit that can be independently removed and replaced. This segmentation allows users to easily maintain or upgrade the detection module without affecting the purification system, improving ease of operation and maintenance while the modular design actually reduces overall system complexity through standardized interfaces.

3Reliability

If multiple purification units are used, then the air purification effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair purification effectivenessVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control unit dynamically adjusts the operation of multiple purification units based on real-time gas detection data. When hazardous gases are detected, the control unit activates the purification units at varying intensities or sequences. This dynamic control allows the system to achieve effective air purification by coordinating multiple units rather than requiring all units to operate simultaneously at full capacity, thereby improving purification effectiveness while managing device complexity and energy consumption through intelligent coordination.

AI summary

A gas detection purification device is disclosed and includes a main body, a purification unit, a gas guider, a gas detection module and a controlling-driving module. The main body includes an inlet, an outlet, an external socket and a gas-flow channel disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The purification unit is disposed in the gas-flow channel for filtering gas introduced through the gas-flow channel. The gas guider is disposed in the gas channel and located at a side of the purification unit. The gas is inhaled through the inlet, flows through the purification unit and is discharged out through the outlet. The gas detection module is plugged into or detached from the external socket. The controlling driving module is disposed within the main body and electrically connected to the gas guider to control the operation of the gas guider in an enabled state and a disabled state.
