Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If 16Mn steel is used for liner plate, then impact resistance is improved, but wear resistance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact resistanceVSAvoidwear resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining 16Mn steel base material with hardfacing coatings (such as nickel-hard alloy, chromium carbide, or ceramic coatings). This composite structure allows the liner plate to simultaneously achieve the impact resistance of 16Mn steel and the wear resistance of the hardfacing coating layer, resolving the contradiction between these two properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If liner plate is frequently maintained or replaced, then wear resistance is improved, but productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewear resistanceVSAvoidmining efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing hardfacing coating treatment on the liner plate before it is installed in the hoisting container. This pre-applied protective layer provides enhanced wear resistance from the outset, extending the service life of the liner plate and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement operations, thereby maintaining continuous productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the surface properties of the liner plate through hardfacing coating, which changes the surface hardness, wear resistance, and friction characteristics. This parameter modification allows the liner plate to withstand prolonged exposure to abrasive materials without requiring frequent replacement, thus maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If detection device is added, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact and wear detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the taking out principle by extracting and isolating the detection function into separate, modular sensor units (impact sensors, wear sensors, and friction sensors) that can be independently installed on the liner plate. This modular approach enables precise measurement of impact, wear, and friction parameters without requiring a complex integrated detection system, thus improving measurement precision while minimizing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
