Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional gas dissolving devices are used, then gas can be dissolved in liquid, but the supersaturated state cannot be maintained stably and the device is cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of supersaturated stateVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the pressure parameter dynamically during the dissolving process. By controlling pressure variation through the pressure variation control unit, the system maintains a supersaturated state of gas in liquid without requiring complex additional structures. The pressure is adjusted to prevent gas separation while maintaining supersaturation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The dissolving chamber serves multiple functions: it is both the container for gas-liquid contact and the storage vessel for maintaining the supersaturated state. The pressure variation control unit integrates pressure regulation and flow control functions, reducing overall device complexity while improving reliability.

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

2Quantity of substance

If existing dissolving methods are used, then gas dissolving can be achieved, but the device is large in scale and requires sufficient space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegas concentrationVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention integrates the dissolving chamber and storage function within a compact configuration. The pressure variation control unit is integrated into the existing chamber structure rather than requiring separate external control systems, reducing overall device volume while maintaining high gas concentration capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

By optimizing pressure parameters and using efficient gas-liquid contact methods within a compact dissolving chamber, the invention achieves high gas concentration without requiring large device volume. The controlled pressure variation allows maximum dissolving efficiency in a small space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stress or pressure

If conventional pressure reducing mechanisms are used, then pressure reduction is achieved, but pressure variation occurs and supersaturated state is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepressure controlVSAvoidmaintainment of supersaturated state
Core Design Contradiction:
Stress or pressureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The pressure variation control unit monitors and adjusts pressure in real-time during the gas dissolving process. This feedback mechanism prevents pressure variations that would cause gas separation, thereby maintaining the supersaturated state reliably while achieving necessary pressure reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using a static pressure reducing mechanism, the invention employs dynamic pressure control through the pressure variation control unit. This allows continuous adjustment of pressure to maintain supersaturation throughout the dissolving and storage process, preventing gas separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
