Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If magnets are disposed with predetermined orientations to activate water flowing between them, then water activation is achieved, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and orientation errors may occur
Solution Approach 1:
A non-magnetic guide member is introduced as an intermediary component between the magnet and the housing. This guide member serves as a positioning intermediary that ensures correct orientation without requiring direct magnetic interaction, thereby simplifying assembly while maintaining reliable water activation.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic orientation requirement is replaced by a mechanical positioning system using the guide member. Instead of relying on magnetic field orientation, the guide member provides mechanical guidance and positioning, substituting the complex magnetic alignment process with a simpler mechanical insertion process.
2Device complexity
If magnets are disposed at lattice points with same polarity, then structure is simplified, but water flowing between diagonally disposed magnets is not activated
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member acts as an intermediary that enables magnets to be positioned at lattice points while ensuring proper orientation. It mediates between the simplified lattice arrangement and the requirement for active water flow by providing mechanical guidance that prevents incorrect positioning.
3Productivity
If strong intensive magnets are used to increase fluid activation efficiency, then activation efficiency improves, but magnets become difficult to accommodate and fix
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member serves as a mediator between the strong magnet and the fixing plate. It provides a non-magnetic interface that allows the magnet to be securely fixed without direct magnetic attraction to the plate, making accommodation and fixation of strong magnets feasible.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic fixation method is replaced by a mechanical fixation method using the guide member. The guide member provides mechanical support and positioning, substituting the problematic magnetic attraction-based fixation with a neutral mechanical interface.
4Strength
If magnets are fixed with bolts between two fixing plates, then magnets can be securely held, but magnets become difficult to remove for maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The magnet is extracted from the complex bolted fixation system and repositioned using the guide member. The guide member allows for easy insertion and removal of the magnet without requiring bolt disassembly, separating the magnet removal function from the fixation structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixation system is segmented into the guide member component and the fixing plate. This segmentation allows the magnet to be independently handled and removed through the guide member without affecting the entire bolted assembly, simplifying maintenance.
5Productivity
If multiple magnets are disposed to increase magnetic field strength, then fluid activation efficiency improves, but the housing diameter must be made large
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of increasing housing diameter to accommodate multiple magnets, the guide member enables magnets to be positioned efficiently along the flow direction. This utilizes the longitudinal dimension more effectively, achieving strong magnetic field with a smaller cross-sectional area.
