Pressure Measurement Device with Validation-Based Data Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pressure monitoring systems in fluid containment pipes are energy-intensive due to the continuous transmission of pressure data, which can lead to inefficiencies in processing rapid phenomena and increased energy consumption.
Innovation Solution
A pressure measuring device with a calculation module to determine calculated pressure information and a management module that only transmits this information to the communication unit when a validation condition is met, reducing unnecessary data transmission and energy usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pressure data is continuously transmitted to the pressure monitoring device, then real-time monitoring is ensured, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The calculation module performs preliminary calculations of pressure information (minimum, maximum, average values) locally in the measuring device before transmission. The management module then evaluates validation conditions based on this pre-calculated information to determine whether transmission is necessary, avoiding unnecessary data transmission and reducing energy consumption while maintaining reliable monitoring when needed.
2Loss of information
If pressure data is continuously transmitted to the pressure monitoring device, then complete data is provided, but data transmission volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The calculation module extracts and processes only the essential pressure information (minimum, maximum, average values) from the continuous pressure data. The management module further extracts only this processed information for transmission when validation conditions are met, significantly reducing data transmission volume while maintaining data completeness for monitoring purposes.
3Measurement precision
If pressure data is processed and transmitted continuously, then monitoring accuracy is maintained, but processing time for rapid phenomena decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The calculation module performs preliminary processing of pressure data (calculating minimum, maximum, average values) and evaluation of validation conditions locally in the measuring device before transmission to the monitoring device. This preliminary action reduces the processing time required at the monitoring device and enables faster response to rapid phenomena while maintaining monitoring accuracy.
