Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering 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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over particle emissionVSAvoidparticle propagation control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

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.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

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.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparticle transmission distanceVSAvoidspatial coverage
Core Design Contradiction:

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.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

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.

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