Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing landslide models are used, then the structure is simple, but the flexibility to adjust the angle of the main body is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed-angle landslide model into a variable-angle system. The main body can be adjusted to different angles through a support leg assembly that allows rotational movement, enabling the simulation of various mountain conditions and slope angles dynamically rather than being restricted to a single fixed configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the landslide model into multiple independent components including the main body, support leg assembly, and adjustable angle mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted, particularly the angle of the main body relative to the base, providing flexibility without requiring complete redesign of the entire system.
2Measurement precision
If existing rainfall simulation methods are used, then the system is simple, but the control precision of rainfall location and intensity is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing a distributed rainfall simulation system with multiple independent spray nozzles positioned at different locations. Each nozzle can be controlled independently to spray water at specific locations on the slide plate, allowing precise control of rainfall location and intensity rather than uniform rainfall across the entire surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces simple mechanical water pouring or uniform spraying with a more advanced pneumatic or electrically-controlled spray nozzle system. This substitution enables precise control of water delivery location and intensity through adjustable nozzles that can be independently actuated, providing superior control precision despite increased system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed-angle landslide models are used, then the device complexity is low, but the ability to simulate different mountain conditions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by designing a variable-angle support system that allows the main body to be adjusted to different angles and positions. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the simulation of various mountain conditions including different slope angles, terrain configurations, and landslide scenarios, transforming a static model into an adaptable simulation platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional landslide model that can simulate multiple types of landslide conditions through angle adjustment. The same basic structure can be configured to represent different mountain conditions, slope failures, and geological scenarios, making the device versatile rather than limited to a single simulation type.
