Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional pest control aerosol compositions are used, then basic pest control function is provided, but excellent pest control effect particularly for flying pests is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectVSAvoideffectiveness against flying pests
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the composition by selecting an organic solvent with a specific boiling point range (220°C or higher) and controlling its content at 10 to 30 wt%. This parameter optimization enables the composition to maintain stability in aerosol form while achieving excellent pest control effect, particularly against flying pests, thereby resolving the contradiction between basic functionality and specialized effectiveness.

2Stability of the object's composition

If an organic solvent with high boiling point is used to improve stability, then aerosol composition stability is improved, but rapid knock-down effect on pests may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaerosol composition stabilityVSAvoidknock-down speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the boiling point parameter of the organic solvent to be 220°C or higher, which ensures sufficient thermal stability for aerosol storage and application while maintaining appropriate volatility for rapid pest knock-down. The controlled concentration range (10-30 wt%) further balances stability and effectiveness, resolving the contradiction between composition stability and action speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite aerosol system combining the specific organic solvent (with boiling point ≥220°C), the pest control compound, and propellant in optimized proportions. This composite formulation achieves synergistic effects where the solvent provides both stability and appropriate volatility, resolving the contradiction between maintaining composition integrity and enabling rapid pest control action.
