Solution Overview

Problem

Current control design methods require extensive time to collect measurement data in the steady state under various conditions, making it challenging to generate accurate models for controlled objects like engines, especially as the number of measurement conditions increases.

Innovation Solution

A model generation device and method that acquire measurement data under multiple conditions in a short time by estimating steady-state data using prediction equations and machine learning, allowing for automated data collection without waiting for the object to reach steady state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If measurement data is collected by waiting for the controlled object to enter steady state under each measurement condition, then measurement accuracy is improved, but the time required for data collection increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoiddata collection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring measurement data at multiple time points before the controlled object reaches steady state, and performing preliminary processing to extract steady-state characteristics without actually waiting for steady state to occur. This allows the system to obtain accurate steady-state measurement data through prediction rather than waiting, thereby reducing data collection time while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If the number of measurement conditions is increased to improve model accuracy, then model quality is improved, but the time and resources required for data collection increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiddata collection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by acquiring measurement data at multiple discrete time points during the transient period rather than waiting for complete steady state. This partial sampling approach, combined with signal processing to extract steady-state characteristics, provides sufficient data for accurate modeling without the excessive time investment required to wait for full steady state under each measurement condition, thus improving productivity while maintaining model accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
