Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional microwave radiating devices are complex, requiring lengthy and costly maintenance, with limitations on operating temperature and pressure, and lack flexibility in adjusting microwave penetration, leading to inefficiencies and economic constraints.
Innovation Solution
A connecting type microwave radiating device with a removable structure using non-dielectric materials between the inner and outer atmosphere of the container, allowing for easy maintenance and adjustment of microwave penetration by laminating dielectric materials with sheet-shaped parts, enabling operation under severe conditions and easy expansion by connecting multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional microwave radiating device structure is used, then microwave treatment can be performed, but the structure becomes complicated and maintenance becomes burdensome
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate modular components: a reaction container and a microwave irradiation unit. The container can be detached from the irradiation unit, allowing independent maintenance of each component. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure while maintaining microwave treatment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The dielectric material is extracted as a separate replaceable component rather than being integrated into the device structure. Users can remove and replace the dielectric material independently without disassembling the entire device, significantly reducing maintenance complexity.
2Reliability
If dielectric material is used for microwave penetration, then microwave treatment is enabled, but maintenance time increases and work proceeds are broken
Solution Approach 1:
The dielectric material is extracted as a separate replaceable component. When maintenance is needed, users can simply remove the dielectric material from the container without disassembling the entire device, reducing maintenance time from hours to minutes and allowing quick replacement to minimize work interruption.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple dielectric materials can be prepared in advance for different treatment requirements. Users can swap between pre-prepared dielectric materials quickly without needing to perform maintenance operations, enabling rapid change of treatment conditions.
3Reliability
If dielectric material is used in microwave penetrating portion, then microwave treatment is possible, but the device must be dismantled for maintenance and fixation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into a container portion and an irradiation unit portion that can be easily separated. The dielectric material is part of the container assembly, which can be removed as a unit from the irradiation unit, eliminating the need for complex dismantling procedures during maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The dielectric material is extracted as a standalone replaceable component within the container assembly. Maintenance personnel can access and replace the dielectric material by simply removing the container from the irradiation unit, without needing to dismantle any fixed structures or complex assemblies.
4Strength
If reacting container and waveguide are manufactured as unity, then structural integrity is improved, but flexibility to change microwave penetration is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into a container assembly and an irradiation unit assembly that are connected but can be separated. The dielectric material is integrated into the container assembly, which maintains structural integrity when connected, but can be detached to allow replacement of the dielectric material for different microwave penetration requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the container and irradiation unit is designed to be dynamically changeable - firmly connected during operation for structural integrity, but easily separable when maintenance or adjustment is needed. This dynamic connectivity allows the system to switch between structural strength and adaptability modes.
5Productivity
If traditional microwave radiating device is used, then microwave treatment is performed, but increasing treatment capacity requires buying new devices which is not economical
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into a reusable irradiation unit and replaceable container assemblies. To increase treatment capacity, users can simply add more container assemblies with different dielectric materials rather than purchasing entirely new devices, significantly reducing the cost of scaling up productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The irradiation unit is designed as a universal platform that can work with multiple different container assemblies and dielectric materials. This multi-functionality allows a single irradiation unit to handle various treatment requirements, and users can expand capacity by adding compatible containers rather than buying specialized new devices for each application.
