Yet, since no one replied to you, I will inform you of what I know inshallah, then they can elobearte further.
Please note, May Allah preserve you, that what you have said is the method of Imam Ahmad. However, he considered another type of Ijmaa' that is the form of Tawatir on existence of ruling on matter i.e. Salaat, Hajj and etc. Nevertheless, the Muhaqiqoun of the Madhab like Sh. Al-islam, Ibn Qudama and Ibn Al-Qaim and others that Ijm'aa happens upon the agreement of scholars of one era on one thing.
There are more details but forums are not the right place for it and the above should give you a bit of understanding inshallah,
Wallahu A'lam
