Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing soil-rock fault simulation devices are limited in simulating complex fault movements, primarily allowing simulation in a single direction, resulting in a lack of functional diversity and poor fault simulation effects.
Innovation Solution
A soil-rock fault simulation device comprising a base, a support arm that moves in forward and backward directions, and box bodies that move in left and right directions, forming soil-rock spaces to simulate multiple directional faults through relative movement, enhancing the simulation of left-right, forward-backward, and up-down direction faults.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing soil-rock fault simulation device uses separate left and right soil-rock blocks to simulate single direction faults, then the device structure is simple, but the functional diversity is poor and cannot simulate complex fault movements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by enabling the first box body to move in multiple directions (left-right via first cylinder, forward-backward via second cylinder, up-down via third cylinder) relative to the second box body, allowing a single device to simulate various types of soil-rock faults including left-right direction faults, forward-backward direction faults, and up-down direction faults, thereby eliminating the need for multiple separate simulation devices
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by using three independent cylinders (first, second, and third) to control the movement of the first box body in three different directions relative to the second box body. This dynamic control system allows the device to simulate complex fault movements by coordinating the movement of multiple components, transforming a static single-direction simulation into a dynamic multi-directional simulation capability
2Reliability
If existing device simulates only single direction fault with separate soil-rock blocks, then the manufacturing is simple, but the fault simulation effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the simulation device into distinct functional modules: a second box body fixed on the base, and a first box body that can move independently in multiple directions relative to the second box body. This segmentation allows each module to be manufactured separately and then assembled, improving ease of manufacture while enabling complex multi-directional fault simulation that enhances simulation effectiveness
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing device uses fixed soil-rock blocks for single direction simulation, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different fault conditions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the first box body as an intermediary component between the fixed second box body and the three cylinders (first, second, and third). This intermediary first box body receives movement commands from multiple cylinders and translates them into coordinated multi-directional movement, enabling the system to adapt to various fault simulation conditions while maintaining a manageable device structure through modular design
