Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a contactless temperature measuring device is used to detect thermal bridges, then the measurement can be performed without contact, but the device cannot differentiate between high temperature thermal bridge effects and low temperature thermal bridge effects
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the thermal bridge detection into two distinct types: high temperature thermal bridges (where the thermal bridge area temperature is higher than the reference area by a first threshold) and low temperature thermal bridges (where the thermal bridge area temperature is lower than the reference area by a second threshold). This segmentation allows the device to differentiate between different types of thermal bridge effects while maintaining contactless measurement capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces temperature difference thresholds as key parameters to distinguish between high and low temperature thermal bridges. By comparing the temperature difference between the thermal bridge area and reference area against predefined first and second thresholds, the system can accurately classify the type of thermal bridge effect without requiring contact with the measured object.
2Device complexity
If only indoor and outdoor temperature measurements are taken, then the measurement process is simple, but false thermal bridge alarms occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a reference area temperature measurement as an intermediary step between direct thermal bridge detection and final alarm generation. By first measuring the reference area temperature and comparing it with the thermal bridge area temperature, the system creates an intermediate comparison value that helps filter out false alarms caused by general indoor-outdoor temperature differences while maintaining measurement simplicity.
