Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If temperature and water level sensors are added to monitor the electrolysis tank and power supply, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by installing temperature and water level sensors before problems occur. The sensors continuously monitor the electrolysis tank and power supply, detecting abnormal conditions (overheating, low water level) before they lead to dangerous situations like hydrogen explosions or equipment failure, allowing preventive shutdowns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where sensor data is continuously fed back to the control system. When abnormal conditions are detected (temperature exceeding thresholds, water level dropping), the system automatically responds by shutting down the electrolysis process or activating alarms, creating a closed-loop safety system.
2Reliability
If gas leakage sensors and emergency buttons are integrated into the system, then safety is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing automatic safety shutdowns when gas leakage is detected. The gas leakage sensor triggers the control system to automatically cut off the hydrogen supply and shut down the electrolysis process without requiring user intervention, making the system self-protecting.
Solution Approach 2:
The emergency button provides preliminary anti-action by allowing users to immediately shut down the system in dangerous situations. This manual override capability complements the automatic safety systems, providing an additional layer of protection against hydrogen explosions and other hazards.
3Reliability
If multiple sensors and monitoring systems are added to prevent overheating and hydrogen explosion, then safety is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using simple threshold-based detection with temperature and water level sensors. Instead of complex monitoring systems, the invention uses straightforward parameter comparisons (temperature > threshold, water level < threshold) to trigger safety shutdowns, keeping the system simple and cost-effective.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs inexpensive sensor components that can be easily replaced if needed. The temperature sensors, water level sensors, and gas leakage detectors are chosen to be cost-effective solutions rather than expensive industrial-grade instruments, reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining adequate safety functionality.

Function Achieved in This Case
The security system effectively monitors and controls the gas generator's temperature, water level, and power supply, preventing air blasts, short circuits, and hydrogen explosions, thereby enhancing safety and reliability in generating health gases for inhalation therapy.
Implementation Method 1
The electrolysis tank further comprises a power supply for electrolyzing the first electrolyzed water to generate a gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen
Implementation Method 2
a first temperature sensor, configured in the electrolysis tank and electrically connected to the power supply. When the first temperature sensor senses the temperature of the electrolysis tank is higher than a preset value, the first temperature sensor causes the power supply to be cut off
Implementation Method 3
a gas leakage sensor, configured in the gas generator and electrically connected to the power supply. When the gas leakage sensor senses an abnormal gas leakage from the gas generator, the gas leakage sensor causes the power supply to be cut off
