Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sound-controlled gas control systems experience data breakpoints and spectrum leakage, leading to poor flame rhythm synchronization with music.

Innovation Solution

A sound-controlled gas control system that includes an audio module for preprocessing audio data, a transformation analysis module for Fourier transformation and spectrum analysis, and a driving module to generate pulse width modulation data for controlling proportional valves, reducing spectrum leakage through windowing processes and using amplitude and phase values to adjust flame height and speed in sync with music.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If discrete audio data is directly converted to control signals without preprocessing, then the system structure is simple, but spectrum leakage occurs and flame rhythm effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing windowing processing on audio data before Fourier transformation. This preprocessing step prepares the data in advance to prevent spectrum leakage, ensuring that the flame rhythm synchronization quality is improved without adding complex hardware, only by adding computational steps in the signal processing chain.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary frequency components from the audio spectrum through spectrum analysis. By identifying and processing only the relevant frequency ranges that correspond to musical rhythms, the system achieves good flame synchronization quality while reducing unnecessary computational overhead and processing time.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the audio frequency spectrum into multiple frequency bands, each controlled by a separate proportional valve. This segmentation allows different parts of the audio signal to control different flame characteristics, enriching the rhythm effect while maintaining a modular control structure that manages complexity through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
