Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a manually controlled plug valve is used, then the structure remains simple, but intelligent control capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the electromagnetic valve core and plug valve core into a single integrated core structure. The electromagnetic valve core includes a plug valve core portion that directly forms the sealing and control functions, eliminating the need for separate electromagnetic valve and plug valve components. This merging achieves intelligent control through the electromagnetic actuator while maintaining structural simplicity through the unified core design.
2Extent of automation
If additional electronic control components are added to achieve intelligent control, then automation is improved, but the gas product structure becomes complex and large
Solution Approach 1:
The electromagnetic valve core and plug valve core are merged into one integrated component. The plug valve core portion of the electromagnetic valve core performs both the electromagnetic actuation function and the plug valve sealing/control function, reducing the overall number of components and minimizing the gas product structure volume while achieving intelligent control.
Solution Approach 2:
The electromagnetic valve core is designed to perform multiple functions: it acts as both the electromagnetic actuator and the plug valve core. The plug valve core portion includes sealing surfaces and flow control features, allowing a single component to fulfill both electromagnetic control and mechanical valve functions, thereby reducing overall system size.
3Extent of automation
If separate electromagnetic valve and plug valve are used, then intelligent control is achieved, but the structure becomes complex and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the electromagnetic valve and plug valve into a single unified structure. The electromagnetic valve core incorporates the plug valve core portion, which includes sealing surfaces and flow control features. This eliminates the need for separate electromagnetic valve and plug valve components, reducing structural complexity and cost while maintaining intelligent control capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The electromagnetic valve core is designed as a multi-functional component that performs both electromagnetic actuation and plug valve operations. The plug valve core portion of the electromagnetic valve core provides sealing, flow control, and position regulation functions, allowing one component to replace what would traditionally require multiple separate components.

AI summary
A one-piece combination valve, including: a valve body, provided with an air guide chamber and an air inlet chamber, the air guide chamber being configured with a first air outlet and a second air outlet; an electromagnetic valve assembly, fixedly connected to the valve body; and a plug valve assembly, connected to the valve body. A plug valve core of the plug valve assembly is driven under force to translate toward an electromagnetic valve core of the electromagnetic valve assembly and to be abutted against the electromagnetic valve core, so that the air guide chamber is in communication with the air inlet chamber, or a plug valve core of the plug valve assembly is driven under force to be rotated about a central axis of its own, so that at least one of the first air outlet and the second air outlet is/are in communication with the air guide chamber.
