Research on Design Method of Product Functional Hybridization for Integrated Innovation

Abstract

Product hybridization design is a new model of integrated innovation. Existing methods of product hybridization design focus on technological recombination, and there is a lack of research from the perspective of function. Therefore, this paper proposes the concept of functional product hybridization. Obtaining goal products and fusing the existing product function systems are two keys to implementing product functional hybridization. However, existing functional integration methods acquire goal products too widely, and there is less research on fusing product function systems. In this paper, a scenario analysis model based on the divergence tree is established by combining scenario analysis and the divergence tree, and three paths of goal product prediction for functional hybridization are proposed. Based on the idea of biological gene recombination, a product gene model and a method of product gene recombination for functional hybridization are studied. Moreover, integrating the Theory of Inventive Problems Solving (TRIZ), a method of establishing a concept structure is proposed. On this basis, a process model for product functional hybridization design is established. An example of a new tree-planting machine illustrates the application of the proposed model. The proposed method enriches the theory of product hybridization design and achieves the fusion of product function systems to meet the multi-functional needs of users.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Revolution and Intervention Using TRIZ S‐curve Analysis for Automotive System Innovation

“…In TRIZ innovation perspectives, the S-curve indicates that hydrogen fuel cell technologies are still working their way from the infant stage to the growth stage by identifying the level of system integration with leading alternative systems. This innovation strategy is generally known as an infant and mature technology hybridizing [23]. Applying the TRIZ methodology will help the system develop more effectively, improve the hydrogen fuel cell technologies at the infant stage, and strategically move to the growth stage.…”

Method for Product-Integrated Innovation Based on Biological Inspiration

“…This method was used to design a tent that could collect fresh water. Liu et al [23] drew on the concept of biological gene recombination to research a product gene model suitable for product function hybridization, as well as a product gene recombination method, and then established a product functional hybridization design process model.…”

From Biological Gene to Functional Gene: Revolutionizing Product Innovation Design

“…Combined with gene recombination technology based on functional genes, a wider range of problem-solving approaches have been developed [95]. Liu et al [96] introduced the concept of product function hybridization and used TRIZ tools to solve the problems encountered in the hybridization process. They verified the feasibility of the model by using a new type of tree-planting machine, as shown in Figure 7c.…”
