Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If dual PID closed-loop control is used to adjust turbine motor rotational speed, then the control system can maintain basic stability, but sensor data acquisition delays cause gas compression in ventilation pipes and load changes at user end, resulting in significant rotational speed fluctuations and oscillations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotational speed stabilityVSAvoidsensor data acquisition delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The ESO observer predicts and compensates for disturbances before they significantly affect the system. By establishing a mathematical model of the turbine motor and using the observer to estimate disturbances in real-time, the system proactively adjusts control signals to counteract anticipated rotational speed fluctuations, rather than reacting after delays occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements an active disturbance rejection control loop where the ESO continuously observes system state and disturbance signals, feeds this information back to the controller, and adjusts the control output accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism with disturbance observation enables real-time compensation for sensor delays and load changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If traditional control methods are used, then the system structure remains simple, but the turbine motor experiences oscillation and vibration in the entire control loop, affecting therapeutic effect and user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system structureVSAvoidcontrol loop stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The ESO observer acts as an intermediary between the controller and the disturbed system. It processes sensor data and disturbance signals through its mathematical model, generating compensated control signals that mediate between the control objectives and actual system behavior, reducing oscillations and vibrations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the control parameters by introducing disturbance observation and compensation mechanisms. The ESO dynamically adjusts control parameters based on observed disturbances, transforming the control approach from fixed PID parameters to adaptive parameters that respond to real-time system conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
