Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the number of air cleaning devices is increased to achieve clean room level cleanliness, then the air purification effectiveness is improved, but the installation cost and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair purification effectivenessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the operating state of air cleaning devices based on real-time air quality monitoring. The control device receives pollution data from gas detection modules and automatically regulates the number and operation intensity of air cleaning devices, transitioning from static fixed-operation mode to dynamic adaptive operation, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining purification effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters (number of devices, operation intensity, sampling frequency) based on detected air pollution levels. When pollution is high, more devices operate at higher intensity; when pollution is low, fewer devices operate at lower intensity or enter standby mode, optimizing the balance between purification effectiveness and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If air cleaning devices operate continuously at high intensity to maintain clean room cleanliness, then the air quality is improved, but the noise level increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair qualityVSAvoidnoise level
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic sampling of air quality data rather than continuous monitoring, and adjusts air cleaning device operation in periodic cycles based on detected pollution levels. This allows the system to maintain air quality while reducing continuous high-intensity operation that generates noise, switching to lower-intensity or intermittent operation when pollution levels are acceptable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Measurement precision

If the sampling frequency of air pollution detection is increased to ensure real-time monitoring, then the measurement accuracy is improved, but the power consumption and data processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair pollution detection accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The sampling frequency of gas detection modules is dynamically adjusted based on current air quality conditions and historical data trends. During periods of stable air quality, sampling frequency is reduced to conserve energy. When pollution levels change or exceed thresholds, sampling frequency automatically increases to provide more accurate real-time data, optimizing the balance between measurement precision and power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Area of stationary object

If multiple air cleaning devices are deployed to cover large indoor areas, then the cleaning coverage is improved, but the device complexity and installation cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning coverageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The large indoor space is divided into multiple monitoring zones, each with its own gas detection module and controlled by the central control device. This segmentation allows independent monitoring and control of different areas, enabling the system to scale coverage by adding modular units rather than deploying a complex monolithic system, thereby reducing overall system complexity while expanding coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control device serves multiple functions: it collects data from multiple gas detection modules, processes air quality information, determines optimal device allocation, and controls multiple air cleaning devices. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components for each function, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining large-area coverage capability

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