Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional observation technologies are used, then the measurement process is simple, but the measurement precision of hydrogen reservoir components at regional scales is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the hydrogen reservoir measurement into three distinct components: soil pore water hydrogen, organic matter hydrogen, and lattice water hydrogen. Each component is measured and calculated separately using specific formulas, allowing for precise quantification of each hydrogen source while maintaining an organized measurement framework that improves overall measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary calculation system that processes raw measurement data through multiple processing units. These intermediaries (processing units and calculation formulas) transform basic measurements into comprehensive hydrogen reservoir component data, enabling precise regional-scale observation without requiring direct complex instrumentation at every measurement point.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive sampling is conducted at multiple depth intervals, then the data completeness improves, but the observation time and workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes preset sampling depth intervals before field measurement begins. By pre-defining the sampling depths and number of samples per profile point, the measurement process follows a standardized protocol that ensures complete hydrogen reservoir data capture while minimizing unnecessary sampling operations, thus reducing overall observation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the measurement approach from continuous profiling to discrete interval sampling. By measuring at specific predetermined depth intervals rather than continuously, the system captures essential hydrogen reservoir information across the soil profile while significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to continuous measurement methods.
3Measurement precision
If multiple hydrogen components are measured separately, then the accuracy of total hydrogen reservoir calculation improves, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the hydrogen reservoir into three measurable segments (pore water, organic matter, lattice water) with dedicated calculation formulas for each. This segmentation allows for precise measurement of each component while organizing the processing complexity into manageable, standardized calculation modules that can be systematically applied across all samples.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal processing framework where the same three processing units and calculation formulas are applied to all samples regardless of location or depth. This multi-functional approach handles all hydrogen component calculations through a single standardized system, reducing processing complexity compared to having separate specialized procedures for each component type.

AI summary
A method, a device, a storage medium and an equipment for observing hydrogen reservoir components in soil are provided by the present disclosure, including: obtaining the hydrogen components of soil pore water, the hydrogen components of organic matter, and the hydrogen components of lattice water corresponding to each sample; and obtaining the total hydrogen reservoir components of the target sample plot based on the hydrogen components of soil pore water, the hydrogen components of organic matter, and the hydrogen components of lattice water corresponding to the samples. The target sample plot is provided with a preset number of sampling soil profile points, each of the sampling soil profile points corresponds to n samples, and the sampling depth interval between any two adjacent samples in the same sampling soil profile point is consistent, so that the hydrogen reservoir components in the target sample plot can be accurately obtained.
