Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a throttle orifice plate is used for SCR ventilation, then the structure is simple, but the sealing performance is poor and ventilation speed is slow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidventilation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical throttle orifice plate with an electric control valve system. The control valve can rapidly open and close to achieve fast ventilation, while the electric actuation provides precise control and better sealing performance compared to mechanical throttle mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic control of the ventilation process by using controllable valves that can adjust their opening degree and timing. The system dynamically controls the intake and exhaust valves during engine operation to optimize ventilation speed and sealing, rather than using a fixed mechanical orifice.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If continuous compressed air purging is used, then ventilation is maintained, but air consumption is high and system stability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveventilation maintenanceVSAvoidair consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic or demand-based ventilation control instead of continuous compressed air purging. The control system activates the ventilation valves only when needed based on operational conditions, thereby maintaining necessary ventilation while significantly reducing continuous air consumption and improving system stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a control system that monitors system conditions and provides feedback to regulate valve operation. This closed-loop control ensures ventilation is maintained only when necessary, optimizing air consumption and system stability by adjusting valve timing and duration based on real-time pressure and operational feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Speed

If control valves are used for precise pressure control, then ventilation speed improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveventilation speedVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs control valves that serve multiple functions: rapid ventilation, pressure control, and sealing. By using multi-functional control components, the system achieves fast ventilation speed without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the same valves perform multiple critical functions.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the intake and exhaust control functions into an integrated control system that manages both valves coordinate. This merging of control functions reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate independent control systems for each valve, while still maintaining precise pressure control and fast ventilation response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
