Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual operation by equipment administrator is used to control artificial fog system, then system can be operated with simple control mechanism, but waste of human resources and unprofessional administration occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol mechanism simplicityVSAvoidautomatic control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The artificial fog system performs self-control through automatic detection of thermal environment parameters and automated adjustment of fog output based on detected conditions, eliminating the need for manual operation by equipment administrators while maintaining simple control interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical control operations with automated electronic detection and control systems that monitor thermal environment parameters and automatically adjust fog system operation based on detected conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If artificial fog system operates continuously to ensure thermal comfort, then group thermal comfort is maintained, but resource and energy waste increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethermal comfort assuranceVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The fog system dynamically adjusts its operation based on real-time detection of thermal environment parameters and human presence, transitioning between active fog generation and standby states to match actual cooling需求的

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect thermal environment parameters and human presence, then use this information to automatically adjust fog system operation, ensuring thermal comfort is maintained only when and where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If artificial fog system operates in all areas simultaneously, then comprehensive cooling coverage is achieved, but resource waste increases when few people are present

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecooling coverage areaVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides differentiated fog cooling to different areas based on local detection of human presence and thermal conditions, activating fog generation only in specific subareas where cooling is actually needed rather than uniform system-wide operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Device complexity

If equipment administrator manually adjusts fog system based on personal thermal sensation, then system can be operated without automated detection equipment, but actual effect is far from expected effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection system complexityVSAvoidthermal comfort effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective human thermal sensation judgment with objective automated detection of thermal environment parameters, using electronic sensors and processing systems to accurately measure and respond to actual thermal conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
