Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a dedicated PC and separate small terminal are used for airflow analysis, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the imaging device, three-dimensional model creation unit, and airflow analysis unit into a single integrated terminal device. This merging eliminates the need for separate dedicated PC and small terminal systems, reducing device complexity while maintaining airflow analysis precision through the integrated components working together cooperatively
2Measurement precision
If dedicated PC and separate terminal are used, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation worsens
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating all functional units (imaging, 3D modeling, airflow analysis) into one terminal device, the system becomes easier to operate as users no longer need to coordinate between multiple separate devices. The integrated design allows users to perform airflow analysis through a single device interface while maintaining measurement precision
3Measurement precision
If traditional airflow analysis method is used, then measurement precision is maintained, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical airflow measurement methods with computational fluid dynamics simulation based on captured images. The three-dimensional model creation unit generates a digital model from images, and the airflow analysis unit performs virtual simulations, eliminating time-consuming physical measurements while maintaining analysis precision through accurate computational modeling
