Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If air conditioners or air cleaners are utilized for improving indoor air quality, then air quality can be improved, but the system cannot rapidly detect and locate air pollution sources in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindoor air qualityVSAvoiddetection and location time of air pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the indoor space into multiple detection zones by strategically placing several gas detection devices throughout the space. Each device independently monitors its local area, enabling the system to segment the monitoring task and rapidly identify which specific zone contains air pollution, thereby reducing the time to locate pollution sources while maintaining comprehensive air quality coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces traditional mechanical air circulation methods with an intelligent detection and guidance system. Gas detection devices equipped with sensors and processing units automatically detect, locate, and track air pollution sources in real-time, then guide filtering devices to the precise location through electronic control, eliminating the delay of conventional widespread air circulation approaches.

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

2Measurement precision

If gas detection devices are widely configured to detect air pollution, then detection capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair pollution detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gas detection devices are designed as multi-functional integrated units that simultaneously perform air pollution detection, pollution source location identification, and data transmission to the central control system. This universal design allows a single device type to fulfill multiple functions, improving detection capability across the space without proportionally increasing system complexity through multiple specialized components.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where gas detection devices continuously monitor air quality, transmit data to the control system, and receive guidance commands in return. The control system processes detection data to determine pollution locations and sends targeted commands to specific filtering devices, creating a closed-loop feedback system that optimizes the configuration and reduces operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If filtering devices are enabled to clean air pollution, then air quality improvement is achieved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair quality safetyVSAvoidfiltering device energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The gas detection devices continuously and preliminarily detect air pollution levels and locations before filtering devices are activated. This preliminary detection allows the system to identify pollution sources in advance and only activate filtering devices when and where needed, rather than running all filtering devices continuously, thereby ensuring air quality safety while minimizing unnecessary energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system activates filtering devices locally at the specific locations where air pollution is detected rather than operating all filtering devices uniformly throughout the space. The control system identifies the precise location of pollution sources and enables only the nearest or most appropriate filtering devices, creating a localized response that maintains air quality safety while significantly reducing overall energy consumption compared to full-system operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A system for detecting, positioning, and cleaning indoor air pollution includes one or more blade blowers widely configured in an indoor space to provide an air flow, to inhale a gas, and to collect an air pollution in the gas. The blade blower transmits the air pollution to one or more first devices which is physical-typed or chemical-typed through the air flow to detect and ensure a qualitative property, a concentration, and a location of the air pollution. A blower which is nearest to the location of the air pollution is enabled through a wireless network and artificial intelligent computation to generate a directed air flow. The directed air flow transfers the air pollution to pass through one or more second devices which is physical-typed, chemical-typed, or biological-typed to clean the air pollution.
