Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple single-channel electromagnetic plunger pumps are used to build a pipeline system, then the flow requirements can be met, but the pipeline structure becomes complex and occupies large space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflow supply capabilityVSAvoidpipeline structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple single-channel pumps into a single multi-channel pump body, integrating multiple plunger pipes (first plunger pipe and second plunger pipe) within one unified structure. This consolidation maintains the flow supply capability while significantly simplifying the pipeline system and reducing occupied space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pump body is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple systems simultaneously. The first plunger pipe supplies oil to a first system while the second plunger pipe supplies oil to a second system, allowing a single device to perform multiple functions that previously required separate pumps and pipelines.

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

2Reliability

If inlet pressure fluctuation is high, then the outlet check valve may break down, but adding pressure stabilization pipelines increases structure complexity and space occupation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutlet check valve reliabilityVSAvoidpressure stabilization pipeline structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pressure stabilization function is merged into the pump body structure itself through the balance disk mechanism. The balance disk moves with the plunger pipe, and the balance channel connects the plunger pipe to the pump cavity, integrating pressure regulation with the pumping function and eliminating separate stabilization pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The balance disk acts as an intermediary pressure regulation mechanism between the plunger pipe and the pump cavity. It mediates pressure fluctuations by moving with the plunger pipe and maintaining stable pressure in the pump cavity, preventing outlet check valve failure without requiring external pressure stabilization pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If a single-channel pump is used, then the structure is simple, but multiple pumps are needed to meet flow requirements for multiple systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepump structure simplicityVSAvoidflow supply capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The pump body is segmented into multiple independent channels, each with its own plunger pipe (first plunger pipe and second plunger pipe) and outlet. This segmentation allows a single pump structure to provide independent flow supply to multiple systems, maintaining structural simplicity while increasing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The pump body is designed as a universal device that can simultaneously serve multiple systems. The multi-channel configuration enables a single pump to perform the function of multiple separate pumps, providing both structural simplicity and enhanced flow supply capability.

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

AI summary

Disclosed is a low-flow and double-outlet electromagnetic plunger pump, including a balance disk. A pump cavity is arranged in a pump body, a pressure control assembly is hermetically and fixedly arranged on an outlet port, an end portion of an overflow pipe is hermetically and fixedly arranged on an inlet port, an interior of the overflow pipe is hermetically and fixedly arranged with an overflow grid, and anti-backflow assemblies are hermetically and fixedly arranged on outlets of oil filling channels. By controlling the movement of plunger pipes or multi-plunger pipes through the balance disk, the double-outlet or multi-outlet flow can be formed to simplify a pipeline mechanism for supplying oil to a multi-cylinder or multi-system and reduce the cost; and the double-outlet flow has good consistency, improving the stability of the system.
