Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If high-voltage transformer is used to generate charged particles, then particles can be emitted into space, but the particles move randomly rather than propagating as controlled waves
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by using alternating current to drive the emission electrode, creating periodic emission of charged particles that form wave-like propagation patterns. The AC voltage causes electrons to be periodically emitted and accelerated toward the collector electrode, generating controlled particle waves rather than random particle movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the emission electrode movable through electromagnetic actuation. The emission electrode can dynamically adjust its position and orientation in response to control signals, enabling real-time control over the direction, intensity, and spatial distribution of emitted particle waves.
2Length of moving object
If particles are emitted into space, then charged particles can be generated, but the transmission distance is short and spatial coverage is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a simple linear emission geometry to a three-dimensional spatial distribution system. The movable emission electrode can sweep through multiple angles and positions, distributing particles across a larger volumetric space rather than along a single line, thereby increasing both transmission distance and spatial coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements multi-functionality by designing the emission electrode to perform multiple functions: it can emit particles in different directions, adjust emission intensity, and sweep across different spatial zones. This single component handles what would otherwise require multiple fixed emission sources, expanding the effective spatial coverage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus achieves controlled emission of particle waves with high spatial density and coverage, allowing for user-adjustable intensity and distribution, enhancing user experience by ensuring particles propagate farther with uniformity and maintaining waveform integrity.
Implementation Method 1
the dissociation energy obtained by the electrons on the surface of the metal electrode greater than the binding energy of the metal surface, the electrons will be separated from the surface of the metal electrode and move into space with sufficiently high kinetic energy; and moving electrons with kinetic energy collide with particles in the air (such as oxygen molecules, etc.), causing them to ionize and generate positive ions and negative ions
Implementation Method 2
the high-voltage generator is also connected to the electric deflection device, and is adapted to control the electric deflection device to realize the maximum solid angle spatial scanning in the horizontal and vertical directions alternately and synchronously
