Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional temperature control systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the temperature control effectiveness is poor when external heat sources are present
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the temperature control system into multiple independent temperature sensing zones (first temperature sensor near the opening, second temperature sensor near the air conditioner, third temperature sensor in the center of the room). Each sensor independently measures temperature in its specific zone, allowing the system to segment the thermal environment and control different areas with different strategies, thereby improving overall temperature control effectiveness without requiring a completely complex unified system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that receives temperature data from multiple sensors, performs heat flow simulation calculations, and determines the air conditioner's operating time. This intermediary processes the complex multi-sensor data and external heat source information, transforming it into simple control decisions, which improves control effectiveness while keeping the actual control mechanism relatively simple
2Reliability
If the air conditioning device operates continuously to counteract external heat, then temperature stability is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary heat flow simulation calculations using temperature data from multiple sensors before the air conditioner actually operates. By predicting the heat impact from external sources and pre-determining the required operating time, the system avoids continuous operation and only activates the air conditioner when and for as long as needed, thereby maintaining temperature stability while reducing energy consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where temperature sensors continuously monitor temperature in different zones, and this feedback information is sent to the server. The server adjusts the air conditioner's operating time based on actual temperature conditions and heat flow simulations, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains temperature stability while optimizing energy usage based on real-time conditions
