Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blasting evaluation into multiple independent monitoring dimensions (vibration monitoring, broken rock zone monitoring, 3D laser scanning) and separate evaluation indicators (excavation quality, safety, efficiency). Each monitoring system operates independently and contributes specific data to the comprehensive evaluation, making the complex system manageable and systematic.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal comprehensive evaluation system that integrates multiple monitoring technologies and evaluation indicators into a single framework. This multi-functional system can evaluate different blasting schemes across multiple dimensions simultaneously, providing a unified approach for selecting optimal parameters while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds multiple evaluation dimensions beyond traditional single-indicator assessment. It incorporates spatial dimensions through 3D laser scanning, temporal dimensions through vibration monitoring over time, and depth dimensions through broken rock zone monitoring. This multi-dimensional approach significantly improves measurement precision by evaluating blasting parameters from multiple perspectives simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a comprehensive evaluation system as an intermediary that integrates data from multiple monitoring sources (vibration sensors, 3D scanners, rock zone monitors) and translates them into actionable evaluation results. This intermediary system coordinates the complex monitoring equipment and presents unified evaluation outcomes, making the complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If test sections are used to compare different blasting schemes, then the reliability of parameter selection is improved, but the time and resources required for testing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of blasting scheme selectionVSAvoidtime for conducting tests and comparisons
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing standardized test sections with predetermined monitoring equipment and evaluation criteria before conducting blasting scheme comparisons. The test sections are prepared in advance with all necessary sensors and measurement systems in place, allowing for efficient data collection and comparison of different blasting schemes without repeated setup time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically varies blasting parameters (charge quantity, hole arrangement, initiation sequence) across different test schemes while keeping test section conditions consistent. By changing only the blasting parameters and not the test setup, the method efficiently compares multiple schemes while minimizing time loss from repeated installation and configuration.
