Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing engine detection technology is used, then single-engine detection can be performed, but synchronous detection of multiple engines and accurate evaluation of each component cannot be realized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefault identification accuracyVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection system is segmented into multiple independent detection modules, each responsible for detecting specific parameters of specific engines. This allows simultaneous detection of multiple engines while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design. Each module can be independently configured and optimized for its specific detection task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple engine types and detection scenarios through a single integrated platform. The system can adapt to different engine models, configurations, and detection requirements, providing accurate fault identification across diverse engine systems without requiring separate specialized equipment for each engine type.

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

2Measurement precision

If engine model and image matching is performed, then fault location identification accuracy is improved, but detection time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefault location identification accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Engine models and reference images are pre-processed and stored in a database before actual detection occurs. The system pre-establishes feature extraction algorithms and comparison matrices, so that during real-time detection, only necessary comparisons need to be performed. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces the time required for fault location identification while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The image matching process focuses on local feature regions rather than processing the entire engine image. By identifying and comparing only the most discriminative local features (such as specific component geometries, mounting patterns, or visual markers), the system achieves accurate fault location identification with reduced computational time and resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If three-dimensional modeling and life prediction are performed, then operation state evaluation accuracy is improved, but processing complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation state evaluation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms complex three-dimensional engine models into simplified parameter representations that capture essential operational characteristics. By extracting key parameters (such as dimensional measurements, geometric ratios, or feature vectors) from the 3D models, the system can perform life prediction and operation state evaluation using computationally efficient parameter-based algorithms rather than full 3D simulations, significantly reducing processing complexity while maintaining evaluation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
